Previously, we have revealed that the miR-130 family (miR-130b, miR-301a, and miR-301b) functions as an oncomiR in bladder cancer. The pharmacological inhibition of the miR-130 family molecules by the seed-targeting strategy with an 8-mer tiny locked nucleic acid (LNA) inhibits the growth, migration, and invasion of bladder cancer cells by repressing stress fiber formation. Here, we searched for a functionally advanced target sequence with LNA for the miR-130 family with low cytotoxicity and found LNA #9 (A(L)^i^i^A(L)^T(L)^T(L)^G(L)^5(L)^A(L)^5(L)^T(L)^G) as a candidate LNA. LNA #9 inhibited cell growth in vitro and in an in vivo orthotopic bladder cancer model. Proteome-wide tyrosine phosphorylation analysis suggested that the miR-130 family upregulates a wide range of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) signaling via the expression of phosphorylated Src (pSrc). SILAC-based proteome analysis and a luciferase assay identified protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 1 (PTPN1), which is implicated as a negative regulator of multiple signaling pathways downstream of RTKs as a target gene of the miR-130 family. The miR-130-targeted LNA increased and decreased PTPN1 and pSrc expressions, respectively. PTPN1 knockdown led to increased tumor properties (cell growth, invasion, and migration) and increased pSrc expression in bladder cancer cells, suggesting that the miR-130 family upregulates multiple RTK signaling by targeting PTPN1 and subsequent Src activation in bladder cancer. Thus, our newly designed miR-130 family targeting LNA could be a promising nucleic acid therapeutic agent for bladder cancer.
先前,我们已经揭示了 miR-130 家族(miR-130b、miR-301a 和 miR-301b)在膀胱癌中作为致癌 miRNA 发挥作用。通过种子靶向策略用 8 个碱基的微小锁核酸(LNA)抑制 miR-130 家族分子,可以抑制应激纤维形成,从而抑制膀胱癌细胞的生长、迁移和侵袭。在这里,我们寻找了具有低细胞毒性的 miR-130 家族的功能先进的靶序列,并发现 LNA #9(A(L)^i^i^A(L)^T(L)^T(L)^G(L)^5(L)^A(L)^5(L)^T(L)^G)是候选 LNA。LNA #9 在体外和体内原位膀胱癌模型中抑制细胞生长。蛋白质组范围酪氨酸磷酸化分析表明,miR-130 家族通过表达磷酸化Src(pSrc)上调广泛的受体酪氨酸激酶(RTKs)信号。SILAC 基于蛋白质组分析和荧光素酶测定鉴定了蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶非受体型 1(PTPN1),它被认为是 RTKs 下游多种信号通路的负调节因子,是 miR-130 家族的靶基因。miR-130 靶向 LNA 分别增加和减少 PTPN1 和 pSrc 的表达。PTPN1 敲低导致膀胱癌细胞的肿瘤特性(细胞生长、侵袭和迁移)增加和 pSrc 表达增加,表明 miR-130 家族通过靶向 PTPN1 及其随后的Src 激活上调膀胱癌中的多种 RTK 信号。因此,我们新设计的 miR-130 家族靶向 LNA 可能是一种有前途的膀胱癌核酸治疗剂。
