CALML3-AS1 enhances malignancies and stemness of small cell lung cancer cells through interacting with DAXX protein and promoting GLUT4-mediated aerobic glycolysis.
The lncRNA CALML3 antisense RNA 1 (CALML3-AS1) is a biomarker for various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the role of CALM3-AS1 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is still unclear. Here, we found that the CALML3-AS1 was upregulated in SCLC tissues and cells. SCLC cells (NCI-H69 and NCI-H466 cells) were transfected with small interfering RNA of CALML-AS1 (si-CALML3-AS1) and Death domain-associated protein (DAXX) (si-DAXX) or an overexpression vector of CALML-AS1 (dCas9-CALML3-AS1) and DAXX (dCas9-DAXX). The results showed that silencing CALML3-AS1 inhibited SCLC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, and spheroid formation, and reduced the expression of stemness marker proteins (Nanog. Oct4, and Lin28). Moreover, silencing CALML3-AS1 reduced glycolysis rate, glucose utilization, and lactate production, and decreased the levels of key glycolytic regulatory proteins (GLUT1, GLUT4, HK2, and PKM2) in SCLC cells, while overexpression of CALML3-AS1 promoted malignant growth and stemness and enhanced glucose transporters type 4 (GLUT4)-mediated aerobic glycolysis by interacting with DAXX in NCI-H69 and NCI-H466 cells. Silencing DAXX or GLUT4, or treatment with 2-Deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG, a glycolysis inhibitor) reversed the effects of CALML3-AS1 overexpression on aerobic glycolysis, malignant growth, and stemness of SCLC cells. Finally, NCI-H69 cells transfected with CALML3-AS1, sh-CALML3-AS1, and sh-DAXX lentiviral vectors were subcutaneously injected into nude mice to construct xenograft models. Knockdown of CALML3-AS1 or DAXX inhibited tumor growth in SCLC in vivo. In conclusion, CALML3-AS1, an oncogene, promotes the malignancy and stemness of SCLC cells by interacting with DAXX to enhance GLUT4-mediated aerobic glycolysis, thereby promoting SCLC progression.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
