The E2F1/MELTF axis fosters the progression of lung adenocarcinoma by regulating the Notch signaling pathway
Background
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) represents the predominant subtype of lung cancer. MELTF, an oncogene, exhibits high expression in various cancer tissues. Nevertheless, the precise role of MELTF in the progression of LUAD remains enigmatic. This work was devised to investigate the effect of MELTF on LUAD progression and its underlying mechanism.
Methods
mRNA expression data of LUAD were from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and the enrichment pathway of MELTF was analyzed. The upstream transcription factors of MELTF were predicted, and the correlation between MELTF and E2F1 as well as the expression of the two in LUAD tissues were dissected by bioinformatics. The expression of MELTF and E2F1 in LUAD tissues and cells was assayed by qRT-PCR. Effects of MELTF/E2F1 on proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells were tested by CCK-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays. The binding relationship between E2F1 and MELTF was estimated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP assay. Western blot was utilized to assay the expression of Notch signaling pathway-related proteins in different treatment groups.
Results
Bioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR results exhibited high expression of E2F1 and MELTF in LUAD tissues and cells, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP assay ascertained the binding of E2F1 to MELTF. MELTF was ascertained to enrich the Notch signaling pathway by bioinformatics means. In cell experiments, MELTF was shown to foster the malignant progression of LUAD cells and promoted the expression of NOTCH1 and HES1 proteins, but RO4929097 offset the effect of MELTF on cells. Rescue assay confirmed that E2F1 activated MELTF to promote LUAD progression via the Notch signaling pathway.
Conclusion
Together, our outcomes demonstrated that E2F1 fostered LUAD progression by activating MELTF via the Notch signaling activity. Hence, MELTF emerged as a feasible target for treating LUAD.
期刊介绍:
Mutation Research (MR) provides a platform for publishing all aspects of DNA mutations and epimutations, from basic evolutionary aspects to translational applications in genetic and epigenetic diagnostics and therapy. Mutations are defined as all possible alterations in DNA sequence and sequence organization, from point mutations to genome structural variation, chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy. Epimutations are defined as alterations in the epigenome, i.e., changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and small regulatory RNAs.
MR publishes articles in the following areas:
Of special interest are basic mechanisms through which DNA damage and mutations impact development and differentiation, stem cell biology and cell fate in general, including various forms of cell death and cellular senescence.
The study of genome instability in human molecular epidemiology and in relation to complex phenotypes, such as human disease, is considered a growing area of importance.
Mechanisms of (epi)mutation induction, for example, during DNA repair, replication or recombination; novel methods of (epi)mutation detection, with a focus on ultra-high-throughput sequencing.
Landscape of somatic mutations and epimutations in cancer and aging.
Role of de novo mutations in human disease and aging; mutations in population genomics.
Interactions between mutations and epimutations.
The role of epimutations in chromatin structure and function.
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and their consequences in terms of human disease and aging.
Novel ways to generate mutations and epimutations in cell lines and animal models.
