Osteosarcoma (OS) drug resistance often leads to a poor prognosis. Recent evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs play a crucial role in regulating tumor drug resistance.
This study aims to investigate the involvement of lncRNA LAMTOR5-AS1 in OS. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR were performed, and the relationship between LAMTOR5- AS1, miR-34a-3p, SIRT1, and HNF4A was determined using Dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were measured using CCK-8, cell proliferation, and colony formation assays.
The study found that the dysregulated LAMTOR5-AS1 acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and competitively protects the HNF4A mRNA 3' UTR from miR-34a-3p. In addition, in vitro functional studies showed that HNF4A can physically interact with SIRT1 to synergistically inhibit osteosarcoma drug resistance. The study found that LAMTOR5-AS1 regulates drug resistance in osteosarcoma through the miR-34a-3p/HNF4A or miR-34a-3p/SIRT1/HNF4A axis.
These findings offer new insights into lncRNA-mediated drug resistance in cancer and may serve as potential biomarkers for cancer therapy.
骨肉瘤(OS)耐药常导致预后不良。最近的证据表明,长链非编码RNA在调节肿瘤耐药中起关键作用。
本研究旨在探讨lncRNA LAMTOR5-AS1在骨肉瘤中的作用。进行了RNA测序和qRT-PCR,并使用双荧光素酶报告基因检测和RNA免疫沉淀检测确定了LAMTOR5-AS1、miR-34a-3p、SIRT1和HNF4A之间的关系。使用CCK-8、细胞增殖和集落形成检测进行功能获得和功能缺失检测。
研究发现,失调的LAMTOR5-AS1作为竞争性内源性RNA(ceRNA),竞争性地保护HNF4A mRNA 3'UTR免受miR-34a-3p的影响。此外,体外功能研究表明,HNF4A可与SIRT1发生物理相互作用,协同抑制骨肉瘤耐药。研究发现,LAMTOR5-AS1通过miR-34a-3p/HNF4A或miR-34a-3p/SIRT1/HNF4A轴调节骨肉瘤的耐药性。
这些发现为lncRNA介导的癌症耐药提供了新的见解,可能作为癌症治疗的潜在生物标志物。
