Abstract
Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard first-line cancer treatment. However, patients experience relapses due to chemoresistance. We found that long non-coding RNA 16 (lncRNA16) promotes platinum resistance and inhibits cell death in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the type of cell death inhibited by lncRNA16 remains unknown.
Methods: The biological roles of lncRNA16 and microRNA 1827 (miRNA1827) in cell proliferation and colony formation were determined using functional experiments. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the interactions between lncRNA16 and miRNA1827. In vivo patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models were used to investigate the effects of miRNA1827 agomir on platinum resistance.
Results: Pyroptosis was inhibited in platinum-resistant NSCLC cells. LncRNA16 contributed to the expression of methyl-CpG binding domain protein 3 (MBD3) by sponging miRNA1827, thereby inhibiting gasdermin E (GSDME) expression, which inhibited pyroptosis in platinum-resistant NSCLC. The miRNA1827 agomir repressed platinum resistance in vitro experiments and in vivo PDX models.
Conclusion: We identified a novel function of lncRNA16 in inhibiting pyroptosis and proposed an effective therapeutic drug, the miRNA1827 agomir, for chemosensitization. This study offers a potential strategy for treating patients with NSCLC, especially those with platinum resistance.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques.
The journal focuses on novel cancer studies reporting data from biological experiments performed on cells grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems, and/or in vivo (animal experiments). These types of experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from cell proliferation and transformation, to epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, to apoptosis, and host immune response to tumors.
Cancer Cell International also considers articles that focus on novel technologies or novel pathways in molecular analysis and on epidemiological studies that may affect patient care, as well as articles reporting translational cancer research studies where in vitro discoveries are bridged to the clinic. As such, the journal is interested in laboratory and animal studies reporting on novel biomarkers of tumor progression and response to therapy and on their applicability to human cancers.
