Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive brain cancer, requires novel therapeutic targets. This study investigates the YY1/lncRNA BLACAT1/miR-605-3p regulatory network in GBM pathogenesis. Using bioinformatics tools and TCGA-GBM datasets, we identified six miR-605-3p target genes (ARPC1B, FOSL1, H6PD, ITGA3, LMAN1, and PXN) strongly correlated with YY1 (p < 0.01). In GBM cells, YY1 mRNA increased ~3.8-fold (p < 0.01), BLACAT1 ~ 2.4-2.7-fold (p < 0.01), and target genes ~1.8-2.5-fold (p < 0.05), while miR-605-3p decreased to ~0.3-fold (p < 0.01). YY1 knockout reduced BLACAT1 to 0.33 (p < 0.001), reversed by miR-605-3p inhibition. YY1 knockout inhibited migration (53-75%, p < 0.001), invasion (53-62%, p < 0.001), colony formation (43-53%, p < 0.001), and angiogenesis (p < 0.01). In U251 xenograft models, YY1 knockout reduced tumor volume from 2036 to 260 mm³ (p < 0.0001), partially restored to 1558 mm³ (p < 0.0001) by miR-605-3p antagomir, while agomir reduced it to 721 mm³ (p < 0.01). YY1 promoted angiogenesis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis (p < 0.05), countered by miR-605-3p (p < 0.05). Validations included RT-qPCR, ChIP-qPCR, immunofluorescence, dual-luciferase assays, and immunohistochemistry. The YY1/BLACAT1/miR-605-3p axis drives GBM progression, offering therapeutic potential.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是一种侵袭性脑癌,需要新的治疗靶点。本研究调查了YY1/lncRNA BLACAT1/miR-605-3p调控网络在GBM发病机制中的作用。利用生物信息学工具和TCGA-GBM数据集,我们鉴定出六个与YY1高度相关的miR-605-3p靶基因(ARPC1B、FOSL1、H6PD、ITGA3、LMAN1和PXN)(p < 0.01)。在GBM细胞中,YY1 mRNA增加约3.8倍(p < 0.01),BLACAT1增加约2.4 - 2.7倍(p < 0.01),靶基因增加约1.8 - 2.5倍(p < 0.05),而miR-605-3p降至约0.3倍(p < 0.01)。YY1基因敲除使BLACAT1降至0.33(p < 0.001),miR-605-3p抑制可使其逆转。YY1基因敲除抑制迁移(53 - 75%,p < 0.001)、侵袭(53 - 62%,p < 0.001)、集落形成(43 - 53%,p < 0.001)和血管生成(p < 0.01)。在U251异种移植模型中,YY1基因敲除使肿瘤体积从2036降至260 mm³(p < 0.0001),miR-605-3p拮抗剂可使其部分恢复至1558 mm³(p < 0.0001),而激动剂可使其降至721 mm³(p < 0.01)。YY1促进血管生成、氧化应激、炎症和纤维化(p < 0.05),miR-605-3p可对抗这些作用(p < 0.05)。验证方法包括RT-qPCR、ChIP-qPCR、免疫荧光、双荧光素酶测定和免疫组织化学。YY1/BLACAT1/miR-605-3p轴驱动GBM进展,具有治疗潜力。
