ABSTRACT

Blocking immune checkpoint CD47/SIRPα is a useful strategy to engineer macrophages for cancer immunotherapy. However, the roles of CD47-related noncoding RNA in regulating macrophage phagocytosis for lung cancer therapy remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) on the phagocytosis of macrophage via CD47 and the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) via TIPRL. Our results demonstrate that lncRNA KCTD21-AS1 increases in NSCLC tissues and is associated with poor survival of patients. KCTD21-AS1 and its m6A modification by Mettl14 promote NSCLC cell proliferation. miR-519d-5p gain suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells by regulating CD47 and TIPRL. Through ceRNA with miR-519d-5p, KCTD21-AS1 regulates the expression of CD47 and TIPRL, which further regulates macrophage phagocytosis and cancer cell autophagy. Low miR-519d-5p in patients with NSCLC corresponds with poor survival. High TIPRL or CD47 levels in patients with NSCLC corresponds with poor survival. In conclusion, we demonstrate that KCTD21-AS1 and its m6A modification promote NSCLC cell proliferation, whereas miR-519d-5p inhibits this process by regulating CD47 and TIPRL expression, which further affects macrophage phagocytosis and cell autophagy. This study provides a strategy through miR-519-5p gain or KCTD21-AS1 depletion for NSCLC therapy by regulating CD47 and TIPRL.

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) modulate cell proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis. However, the role of lncRNA-WFDC21P in the tumorigenesis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. Results of this study demonstrated that WFDC21P levels significantly increased in TNBC, which was associated with the poor survival of patients. WFDC21P overexpression significantly promoted TNBC cell proliferation and metastasis. WFDC21P interacted with miR-628-5p, which further suppressed cell proliferation and metastasis by negatively regulating Smad3-related gene expression. Recovery of miR-628-5p weakened the roles of WFDC21P in promoting the growth and metastasis of TNBC cells. Moreover,N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification upregulated WFDC21P expression in the TNBC cells. WFDC21P and its m6A levels were increased after methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) overexpression but reduced after METTL3 silencing. The proliferation and metastasis of TNBC cells were promoted by METTL3 overexpression but suppressed by METTL3 silencing. This study demonstrated the vital roles of WFDC21P and its m6A in regulating the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC cells via the WFDC21P/miR-628/SMAD3 axis.

ABSTRACT

PKM2 is an important regulator of the aerobic glycolysis that plays a vital role in cancer cell metabolic reprogramming. In general, Trib2 is considered as a "pseudokinase", contributing to different kinds of cancer. However, the detailed roles of TRIB2 in regulating cancer metabolism by PKM2 remain unclear. This study demonstrated that TRIB2, not a "pseudokinase", has the kinase activity to directly phosphorylate PKM2 at serine 37 in cancer cells. The elevated pSer37-PKM2 would subsequently promote the PKM2 dimers to enter into nucleus and increase the expression of LDHA, GLUT1, and PTBP1. The aerobic glycolysis is then elevated to promote cancer cell proliferation and migration in TRIB2- or PKM2-overexpressed cultures. The glucose uptake and lactate production increased, but the ATP content decreased in TRIB2- or PKM2-treated cultures. Experiments of TRIB2-/- mice further supported that TRIB2 could regulate aerobic glycolysis by PKM2. Thus, these results reveal the new kinase activity of TRIB2 and its mechanism in cancer metabolism may be related to regulating PKM2 to promote lung cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, suggesting promising therapeutic targets for cancer therapy by controlling cancer metabolism.
