This study intended to investigate the effects of miR-3188 on breast cancer and to reveal the possible molecular mechanisms. miR-3188 was upregulated and TUSC5 was downregulated in breast cancer tissues and MCF-7 cells compared to normal tissue and MCF-10 cells. After MCF-7 cells were transfected with miR-3188 inhibitor, cell proliferation and migration were inhibited, whereas apoptosis was promoted. Luciferase reporter assay suggested that TUSC5 was a target gene of miR-3188. In addition, miR-3188 overexpression increased the p-p38 expression, while miR-3188 suppression decreased the p-p38 expression significantly. miR-3188 regulated breast cancer progression via the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-3188 affects breast cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration by targeting TUSC5 and activating the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. miR-3188 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract Breast cancer is the most common invasive malignancy. In 2020, the number of new cases of breast cancer worldwide has replaced lung cancer as the No.1 cancer in the global. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Mammary tumorigenesis is severely linked to obesity, one potential connection is chemerin. Chemerin is a chemoattractant protein secreted by adipocytes, which contributes to the progression of breast cancer. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion are cellular processes associated with various stages of metastasis. These processes are associated with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In this study, human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231were utilized to determine the effect of chemerin on cell proliferation, migration, and key proteins of MAPK signaling pathway. We found that chemerin promoted cell proliferation and migration in a concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, these effects of chemerin were through promoting the proteins phosphorylation of ATF2 and ERK1/2 but not p38, in MAPK signaling pathway. Specific inhibitors of JNK and ERK1/2 pathway showed that the effect exerted by chemerin in cell proliferation and migration in breast cancer cells was dependent on these proteins. Our findings suggest that chemerin promotes the development of mammary cancer cells through JNK and ERK signaling pathways.

Tumor necrosis factor-induced protein-8 (TIPE) is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a soluble secreted protein that can antagonize Fas ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis and promote tumorigenesis. It remains unclear whether TIPE can regulate DcR3 expression. In this study, we examined this question by analyzing the relationship between these factors in CRC. Bioinformatics and tissue microarrays were used to determine the expression of TIPE and DcR3 and their correlation in CRC. The expression of TIPE and DcR3 in colon cancer cells was detected. Plasma samples were collected from CRC patients, and DcR3 secretion was measured. Then, dual-luciferase reporter gene analysis was performed to assess the interaction between TIPE and DcR3. We exogenously altered TIPE expression and analyzed its function and influence on DcR3 secretion. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate TIPE-overexpressing HCT116 cells, and alterations in signaling pathways were detected. Additionally, inhibitors were used to confirm molecular mechanisms. We found that TIPE and DcR3 were highly expressed in CRC patients and that their expression levels were positively correlated. DcR3 was highly expressed in the plasma of cancer patients. We confirmed that TIPE and DcR3 were highly expressed in HCT116 cells. TIPE overexpression enhanced the transcriptional activity of the DcR3 promoter. TIPE activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to regulate the expression of DcR3, thereby promoting cell proliferation and migration and inhibiting apoptosis. In summary, TIPE and DcR3 are highly expressed in CRC, and both proteins are associated with poor prognosis. TIPE regulates DcR3 expression by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in CRC, thus promoting cell proliferation and migration and inhibiting apoptosis. These findings may have clinical significance and promise for applications in the treatment or prognostication of CRC.

Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious threat to human health, and its underlying mechanisms needs further explored. Aldolase A (ALDOA) has received increasing attention for its reported association with multiple cancers, but the function and mechanism of ALDOA in CRC remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the biological role of ALDOA in CRC.Methods: The stable ALDOA knockdown or overexpression cell lines were established for subsequent experiments. The qRT-PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression of ALDOA and COPS6 and the relative protein levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and MAPK signaling pathway. Immunofluorescence (IF) assay was applied to determine ALDOA localization. CCK-8, transwell, and wound healing assays were performed to evaluate CRC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Mouse xenograft models were established to verify the effect of ALDOA on CRC cell growth in vivo. Immunoprecipitation (IP) assay and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis were conducted to identify the interactions between ALDOA and COPS6.Results: ALDOA was overexpressed in CRC tissues and cell lines. Silencing ALDOA significantly impaired the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells in vitro, and obviously decreased the growth of CRC cells in vivo. Mechanically, ALDOA bound to and regulated COPS6, and the promoting effects of upregulated ALDOA on CRC cell proliferation and metastasis were inhibited by the depletion of COPS6. Besides, EMT program and MAPK signaling pathway were activated by ALDOA overexpression.Conclusion: ALDOA facilitated the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC through binding and regulating COPS6, inducing EMT and activating MAPK signaling pathway.
