ABSTRACT

Background: DNA damage-induced apoptosis suppressor (DDIAS) has recently been discovered to induce cancer progression, but its functions and mechanisms in glioma have not been well studied. Methods: DDIAS expression in glioma tissues was analyzed by the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis server (GEPIA) and the Gene Expression database of Normal and Tumor tissue 2 (GENT2) databases. The role of DDIAS in glioma progression was studied by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting DDIAS. The effects of DDIAS on glioma cell viability, cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and tumor sphere formation were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), EdU, Transwell, tumor spheroid formation, extreme limiting dilution analysis assays in vitro and xenograft model construction in vivo. In addition, RNA sequencing and further functional experiments were used to analyze the DDIAS regulatory mechanism in glioma. Results: We found that DDIAS was highly expressed in glioma and that upregulated DDIAS indicated poor prognosis. Functionally, DDIAS knockdown inhibited glioma cell viability, cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. In addition, lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) was identified as the downstream effector of DDIAS by RNA sequencing. DDIAS downregulation inhibited LEF1 mRNA and protein expression. The expression of DDIAS and LEF1 was positively correlated, and LEF1 overexpression rescued the inhibitory phenotype induced by DDIAS downregulation. We further showed that DDIAS downregulation inhibited cyclin A1, vimentin and the stemness-related factor CD133 and decreased the sphere formation capability, but these features were rescued by upregulation of LEF1. Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that DDIAS promotes glioma progression and stemness by inducing LEF1 expression, proving that DDIAS may be a potential target for the treatment of glioma.

ABSTRACT

Invasion is usually recognized as the main reason for the high recurrence and death rates of glioma and restricts the efficacy of surgery and other therapies. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the mechanism involved in promotion effects of mda-9/syntenin on human glioma cell migration. The wound healing method was used to test the migration ability of human glioma cells CHG-5 and CHG-hS, stably overexpressing mda-9/syntenin. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and JNK in CHG-5 and CHG-hS cells. The migration ability of CHG-hS cells was significantly higher than that of CHG-5 cells in fibronectin (FN)-coated culture plates. Phosphorylation of FAK on tyrosine 397, 576, and 925 sites was increased with time elapsed in CHG-hS cells. However, phosphorylated FAK on the tyrosine 861 site was not changed. Phosphorylated Src, JNK and Akt levels in CHG-hS cells were also significantly upregulated. Phosphorylation of JNK and Akt were abolished by the specific inhibitors SP600125 and LY294002, respectively. and the migration ability of CHG-hS cells was decreased, indicating that the JNK and PI3K/Akt pathways play important roles in regulating mda-9/syntenin-induced human brain glioma migration. Our results indicate Mda- 9/syntenin overexpression could activate FAK-JNK and FAK-Akt signaling and then enhance the migration capacity of human brain glioma cells.
