ABSTRACT

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common and lethal malignancy. The carcinogenic roles of lncRNA CALML3 antisense RNA 1 (CALML3-AS1) have been documented. However, the function and potential mechanisms of CALML3-AS1 in the progression of NSCLC need to be further explored. The molecule expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The subcellular localization of CALML3-AS1 was observed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The malignant behaviors of NSCLC cells were evaluated by CCK-8, colony formation, EdU, wound healing and transwell assays. In vivo xenograft tumor and liver metastatic models were established. The molecular mechanisms were investigated by RIP, RNA pull-down and ChIP assays. The methylation level was detected by MSP. Herein, we found that CALML3-AS1 was upregulated, while butyrophilin-like 9 (BTNL9) was downregulated in NSCLC. Functionally, CALML3-AS1 depletion repressed NSCLC cell malignant phenotypes, in vivo tumor growth, and liver metastasis. Mechanistically, AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) enhanced CALML3-AS1 stability via N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylation, whereas m6A reader YTH domain-containing 2 (YTHDC2) destabilized CALML3-AS1. Moreover, CALML3-AS1 inhibited BTNL9 transcription and expression through the recruitment of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Rescue experiments demonstrated that BTNL9 downregulation counteracted sh-CALML3-AS1-mediated antitumor effects on NSCLC. Taken together, CALML3-AS1 modulated by ALKBH5 and YTHDC2 in an m6A modification dependent manner drives NSCLC progression via epigenetically repressing BTNL9.

ABSTRACT

Gefitinib has been widely applied for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the long-term application of gefitinib usually leads to acquired drug resistance in tumour patients, resulting in clinical treatment failure. Small nucleolar host gene 17 (SNHG17) has been shown to play a regulatory role in LUAD progression. Nevertheless, the role of SNHG17 in LUAD gefitinib resistance remains elusive. The expression pattern of SNHG17 was examined in tissues and cell lines of gefitinib-sensitive and gefitinib-resistant LUAD, respectively. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were employed to assess the biological functions of SNHG17 in cell proliferation and apoptosis, as well as aggressive phenotypes of LUAD cells. MeRIP-qPCR and colorimetric quantificational analysis were performed to detect m6A modifications and contents. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and subcellular fractionation analysis were used to reveal the distribution of SNHG17. RIP and ChIP assays were performed to further validate the SNHG17/EZH2/LATS2 regulatory axis. A xenograft tumour growth assay was conducted to evaluate the role of SNHG17 in LUAD gefitinib resistance in vivo. SNHG17 was upregulated in gefitinib-resistant LUAD tissues and cell lines. Functional assays showed that SNHG17 aggravated the malignant phenotypes of gefitinib-resistant LUAD cells. In addition, METTL3-mediated N6-methyladenosine modification could induce the upregulation of SNHG17by stabilising its RNA transcript. Mechanistically, SNHG17 epigenetically repressed the expression of LATS2 by recruiting EZH2 to the promoter region of LATS2. The regulatory role of the SNHG17/EZH2/LATS2 axis in LUAD gefitinib resistance was further supported in vivo. Collectively, our findings suggested that SNHG17 induced by METTL3 could promote LUAD gefitinib resistance by epigenetically repressing LATS2 expression.
