Abstract

The invasion and metastasis of tumors are triggered by an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). EMT also promotes malignant tumor progression and the maintenance of the stem cell property, which endows cancer cells with the capabilities of self-renewal and immortalized proliferation. The transcriptional repressor zinc-finger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2), as an EMT activator, might be an important promoter of metastasis in some tumors. Here, we report that ZEB2 directly represses the transcription of miR-145, which is a strong repressor of EMT. In turn, ZEB2 is also a direct target of miR-145. Further, our findings show that the downregulation of ZEB2 not only represses invasion, migration, EMT, and the stemness of prostate cancer (PCa) cells, but also suppresses the capability of PC-3 cells to invade bone in vivo. Importantly, the expression level of ZEB2 as revealed by immunohistochemical analysis is positively correlated to bone metastasis, the serum free PSA level, the total PSA level, and the Gleason score in PCa patients and is negatively correlated with miR-145 expression in primary PCa specimens. Thus, our findings demonstrate a double-negative feedback loop between ZEB2 and miR-145 and indicate that the ZEB2/miR-145 double-negative feedback loop plays a significant role in the control of EMT and stem cell properties during the bone metastasis of PCa cells. These results suggest that the double-negative feedback loop between ZEB2 and miR-145 contributes to PCa progression and metastasis and might have therapeutic relevance for the bone metastasis of PCa.

摘要

肿瘤的侵袭和转移由上皮-间质转化(EMT)触发,而EMT受微小RNA(miRNA)调控。EMT还促进恶性肿瘤进展及干细胞特性的维持,赋予癌细胞自我更新和无限增殖的能力。转录抑制因子锌指E盒结合同源框2(ZEB2)作为一种EMT激活因子,可能是某些肿瘤转移的重要促进因子。在此,我们报告ZEB2直接抑制miR-145的转录,而miR-145是EMT的强效抑制因子。反过来,ZEB2也是miR-145的直接靶点。此外,我们的研究结果表明,ZEB2的下调不仅抑制前列腺癌(PCa)细胞的侵袭、迁移、EMT和干性,还抑制PC-3细胞在体内侵袭骨骼的能力。重要的是,免疫组化分析显示ZEB2的表达水平与PCa患者的骨转移、血清游离PSA水平、总PSA水平和Gleason评分呈正相关,与原发性PCa标本中miR-145的表达呈负相关。因此,我们的研究结果证明了ZEB2和miR-145之间存在双负反馈环,并表明ZEB2/miR-145双负反馈环在PCa细胞骨转移过程中对EMT和干细胞特性的控制中起重要作用。这些结果表明,ZEB2和miR-145之间的双负反馈环促进了PCa进展和转移,可能对PCa骨转移具有治疗意义。
