Gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic noncoding RNA (GAPLINC) promotes oral cancer stemness by acting as a molecular sponge of miR331-3p
Background/purpose
Accumulating evidence has suggested that treatment failure of cancer therapy can be attributed to cancer stem cells (CSCs). Among numerous regulators of cancer stemness, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have gained significant attention recently. In this study, we examined the role of gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic noncoding RNA (GAPLINC) in oral CSCs (OCSCs).
Materials and methods
RNA Sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to determine the expression of GAPLINC. Flow cytometry and sphere-forming assay were exploited to isolate OCSCs. Measurement of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) activity, CD44 expressing cells, and various phenotypic assays, such as self-renewal, migration, invasion, and colony-forming abilities, were conducted in CSCs of two types of oral cancer cells (SAS and GNM) following the knockdown of GAPLINC. A luciferase reporter was also carried out to validate the direct interaction between GAPLINC and microRNA (miR)-331-3p.
Results
Our results showed that GAPLINC was overexpressed in OCSCs from patient-derived and oral cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that silencing of GAPLINC in OCSCs downregulated various CSC hallmarks, such as ALDH1 activity, percentage of CD44-expressing cells, self-renewal capacity, and colony-forming ability. Moreover, our results revealed that the effect of GAPLINC on cancer stemness was mediated by direct repression of miR-331-3p.
Conclusion
These data have potential clinical implications in that we unraveled the aberrant upregulation of GAPLINC and demonstrated that suppression of GAPLINC may reduce cancer stemness via sequestering miR-331-3p.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases.
The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
