MicroRNA-338-5p plays a tumor suppressor role in glioma through inhibition of the MAPK-signaling pathway by binding to FOXD1.

MicroRNAs (miRs) play an important role in many cancers and can affect cancer cell behavior, including glioma. This study aims at investigating the effects of miR-338-5p on the senescence, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of glioma cells via MAPK-signaling pathway by binding to FOXD1. Gene expression microarray analysis was performed to screen differentially expressed miRNAs associated with glioma. Glioma tissues and adjacent tissues were collected. siRNA, mimic, and inhibitor were introduced for investigating the tumor suppressor role of miR-338-5p in glioma. Proliferation, migration, invasion, senescence, cell-cycle distribution, and apoptosis after transfection were detected by MTT assay, scratch test, Transwell assay, β-galactosidase staining, and flow cytometry, respectively. FOXD1 was identified as the up-regulated gene in glioma based on microarray data of GSE65626. FOXD1 was the target gene of miR-338-5p. Glioma tissues had increased expression of FOXD1, MEK-2, ERK-1, DAF, PCNA, and Bcl-2, and decreased expression of miR-338-5p and Bax. In cell experiments, after transfected with overexpressed miR-338-5p, higher expression of miR-338-5p, Bax, CD133, ZEB1, SOX2, SNAI1, and MMP2, but lower expression of FOXD1, MEK-2, ERK-1, Bcl-2, DAF, and PCNA were found accompanied with weaker proliferation, migration and invasion as well as stemness abilities but stronger senescence and higher apoptosis rate. We found that overexpression of miR-338-5p suppresses glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and accelerates its senescence and apoptosis by decreasing FOXD1 expression via inhibition of activation of MAPK-signaling pathway.

Ultraviolet A irradiation induces senescence in human dermal fibroblasts by down-regulating DNMT1 via ZEB1.

In this study, we report the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in ultraviolet A (UVA)-induced senescence in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). We show that DNMT1 expression was significantly reduced during UVA-induced senescence, and this senescence could be alleviated or aggravated by the up- or down-regulation of DNMT1, respectively. Expression of the transcription factor zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1(ZEB1) also decreased after UVA irradiation, following a UVA-induced increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). We show that ZEB1 binds to the DMNT1 promoter and regulates its transcription, which, in turn, affects cellular senescence. These changes in DMNT1 and ZEB1 expression following UVA exposure were confirmed in matched skin specimens that had or had not been sun-exposed. On analyzing the promoter methylation of 24 senescence associated genes in these matched skin specimens, we discovered that p53 promoter methylation was significantly reduced in sun-exposed skin. [i]In vitro[/i] experiments confirmed that UVA irradiation reduced p53 promoter methylation, and DNMT1 up-regulation could reverse this effect. Collectively, down-regulation of ZEB1 caused by UVA induced ROS could transcriptionally inhibit DNMT1, leading to low methylation level of senescence related proteins p53 and increase its expression, eventually result in cellar senescence.

p16 induces senescence and inhibits EMT through microRNA-141/microRNA-146b-5p-dependent repression of AUF1.

Senescence and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes are under the control of common tumor suppressor proteins, EMT transcription factors, and microRNAs. However, the molecular mechanisms that coordinate the functional link between senescence and EMT are still elusive. We have shown here that p16 -related induction of senescence is mediated through miR-141 and miR-146b-5p. These two microRNAs are up-regulated in aging human fibroblast and epithelial cells. Furthermore, miR-141 and miR146b-5p trigger cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and induce senescence in primary human fibroblasts and breast cancer cells in the presence and absence of p16 . Like p16 -induced senescence, miR-141/miR146b-5p-related senescence is not associated with secretory phenotype, and is mediated through the RNA binding protein AUF1. We have further demonstrated that p16 and its downstream miRNA targets inhibit EMT through suppressing the EMT inducer ZEB1 in an AUF1-dependent manner. Indeed, AUF1 binds the mRNA of this gene leading to increase in its level. These results indicate that p16 controls both senescence and EMT through repressing EMT-related transcription factor via miR-141/miR146b-5p and their target AUF1. This sheds more light on the molecular basis of the tumor suppressive functions of p16 , which represses both the proliferative and the migratory/invasive capacities of cells. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The ZEB1 transcription factor acts in a negative feedback loop with miR200 downstream of Ras and Rb1 to regulate Bmi1 expression.

Ras mutations are frequent in cancer cells where they drive proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. However in primary cells, mutant Ras instead can cause oncogene-induced senescence, a tumor suppressor function linked to repression of the polycomb factor Bmi1, which normally regulates cell cycle inhibitory cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (cdki). It is unclear how Ras causes repression of Bmi1 in primary cells to suppress tumor formation while inducing the gene in cancer cells to drive tumor progression. Ras also induces the EMT transcription factor ZEB1 to trigger tumor invasion and metastasis. Beyond its well-documented role in EMT, ZEB1 is important for maintaining repression of cdki. Indeed, heterozygous mutation of ZEB1 is sufficient for elevated cdki expression, leading to premature senescence of primary cells. A similar phenotype is evident with Bmi1 mutation. We show that activation of Rb1 in response to mutant Ras causes dominant repression of ZEB1 in primary cells, but loss of the Rb1 pathway is a hallmark of cancer cells and in the absence of such Rb1 repression Ras induces ZEB1 in cancer cells. ZEB1 represses miR-200 in the context of a mutual repression loop. Because miR-200 represses Bmi1, induction of ZEB1 leads to induction of Bmi1. Rb1 pathway status then dictates the opposing effects of mutant Ras on the ZEB1-miR-200 loop in primary versus cancer cells. This loop not only triggers EMT, surprisingly we show it acts downstream of Ras to regulate Bmi1 expression and thus the critical decision between oncogene-induced senescence and tumor initiation.
