The current study elucidated the role of a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), FOXD2-AS1, in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the regulatory mechanism underlying FOXD2-AS1/miR-150-5p/transmembrane protein 9 (TMEM9) signalling in HCC. Microarray analysis was used for preliminary screening of candidate lncRNAs in HCC tissues. qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect the expression of FOXD2-AS1. Cell proliferation assays, luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation were performed to examine the mechanism by which FOXD2-AS1 mediates sorafenib resistance in HCC cells. FOXD2-AS1 and TMEM9 were significantly decreased and miR-150-5p was increased in SR-HepG2 and SR-HUH7 cells compared with control parental cells. Overexpression of FOXD2-AS1 increased TMEM9 expression and overcame the resistance of SR-HepG2 and SR-HUH7 cells. Conversely, knockdown of FOXD2-AS1 decreased TMEM9 expression and increased the sensitivity of HepG2 and Huh7 cells to sorafenib. Our data also demonstrated that FOXD2-AS1 functioned as a sponge for miR-150-5p to modulate TMEM9 expression. Taken together, our findings revealed that FOXD2-AS1 is an important regulator of TMEM9 and contributed to sorafenib resistance. Thus, FOXD2-AS1 may serve as a therapeutic target against sorafenib resistance in HCC.
本研究阐明了长链非编码 RNA (lncRNA) FOXD2-AS1 在肝细胞癌 (HCC) 发病机制中的作用,以及 FOXD2-AS1/miR-150-5p/跨膜蛋白 9 (TMEM9) 信号在 HCC 中的调控机制。芯片分析用于初步筛选 HCC 组织中的候选 lncRNA。qRT-PCR 和 Western blot 分析用于检测 FOXD2-AS1 的表达。细胞增殖实验、荧光素酶实验和 RNA 免疫沉淀实验用于研究 FOXD2-AS1 介导 HCC 细胞索拉非尼耐药的机制。与对照亲本细胞相比,SR-HepG2 和 SR-HUH7 细胞中 FOXD2-AS1 和 TMEM9 显著降低,miR-150-5p 升高。FOXD2-AS1 的过表达增加了 TMEM9 的表达,并克服了 SR-HepG2 和 SR-HUH7 细胞的耐药性。相反,FOXD2-AS1 的敲低降低了 TMEM9 的表达,增加了 HepG2 和 Huh7 细胞对索拉非尼的敏感性。我们的数据还表明,FOXD2-AS1 作为 miR-150-5p 的海绵体发挥作用,调节 TMEM9 的表达。总之,我们的研究结果表明,FOXD2-AS1 是 TMEM9 的重要调节因子,参与索拉非尼耐药。因此,FOXD2-AS1 可能成为 HCC 索拉非尼耐药的治疗靶点。
