DNMT1-dependent DNA methylation of lncRNA FTX inhibits the ferroptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant solid tumors worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the key factor in the pathogenesis of HCC. This study aimed to investigate the roles of lncRNA FTX in HCC. mRNA levels were detected using RT-qPCR. Protein expression was determined using western blot. cellular functions were determined using CCK-8 and PI staining assay. RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was conducted to analyze the location of lncRNA FTX and DNMT1. RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were used to ascertain the involved mechanisms. We found that FTX was downregulated in HCC patients, which was associated with poor prognosis. Moreover, DNMT1-mediated methylation of FTX promoter inhibited its expression. Interestingly, overexpression of FTX promoted the ferroptosis of HCC cells. FTX sponged miR-374b-3p to upregulate TFRC expression. However, downregulation of miR-374b-3p or overexpression of TFRC alleviated the effects of FTX knockdown and promoted the survival of HCC cells. In conclusion, DNMT1-dependent DNA methylation of FTX promotes the development of HCC through regulating miR-374b-3p/TFRC axis. Therefore, DNMT1/FTX/miR-374b-3p/TFRC axis may be a potential target for HCC.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
