However, its underlying mechanisms in the progression of CRC have not been well studied. Methods: To investigate the clinical significance of NEAT1, we analyzed its expression levels in a publicly available dataset and in 71 CRC samples from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Functional assays, including the CCK8, EdU, colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell assays, were used to determine the oncogenic role of NEAT1 in human CRC progression. Furthermore, RNA pull-down, mass spectrometry, RNA immunoprecipitation, and Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assays were used to determine the mechanism of NEAT1 in CRC progression. Animal experiments were used to determine the role of NEAT1 in CRC tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo. Results: NEAT1 expression was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues compared with its expression in normal tissues. AlteredNEAT1expressionledtomarkedchangesinproliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that NEAT1 directly bound to theDDX5protein,regulatedits stability, and sequentially activated Wnt signaling. Our study showed that NEAT1 indirectly activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via DDX5 and fulfilled its oncogenic functions in a DDX5-mediated manner. Clinically, concomitant NEAT1 and DDX5 protein levels negatively correlated with the overall survival and disease-free survival of CRC patients. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that NEAT1 activated Wnt signaling to promote colorectal cancer progression and metastasis. The NEAT1/DDX5/Wnt/β-catenin axis could be a potential therapeutic target of pharmacological strategies.

  • Nucleus Size and DNA Accessibility Are Linked to the Regulation Of
    Grosch et al. BMC Biology (2020) 18:42 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-020-00770-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Nucleus size and DNA accessibility are linked to the regulation of paraspeckle formation in cellular differentiation Markus Grosch1, Sebastian Ittermann1, Ejona Rusha2, Tobias Greisle1, Chaido Ori1,3, Dong-Jiunn Jeffery Truong4, Adam C. O’Neill1, Anna Pertek2, Gil Gregor Westmeyer4 and Micha Drukker1,2* Abstract Background: Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in general and cell type-specific molecular regulation. Here, we asked what underlies the fundamental basis for the seemingly random appearance of nuclear lncRNA condensates in cells, and we sought compounds that can promote the disintegration of lncRNA condensates in vivo. Results: As a basis for comparing lncRNAs and cellular properties among different cell types, we screened lncRNAs in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) that were differentiated to an atlas of cell lineages. We found that paraspeckles, which form by aggregation of the lncRNA NEAT1, are scaled by the size of the nucleus, and that small DNA-binding molecules promote the disintegration of paraspeckles and other lncRNA condensates. Furthermore, we found that paraspeckles regulate the differentiation of hPSCs. Conclusions: Positive correlation between the size of the nucleus and the number of paraspeckles exist in numerous types of human cells. The tethering and structure of paraspeckles, as well as other lncRNAs, to the genome can be disrupted by small molecules that intercalate in DNA. The structure-function relationship of lncRNAs that regulates stem cell differentiation is likely to be determined by the dynamics of nucleus size and binding site accessibility.

Received: 2018.02.22; Accepted: 2018.05.27; Published: 2018.07.30 Abstract Aim: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified to play a crucial role in tumorigenesis and the progression of many types of tumors. However, the clinical significance and biological function of lncRNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1(NEAT1) in human osteosarcoma remains unknown. Here, we investigated the role of NEAT1 in human osteosarcoma cell lines and clinical tumor samples. Methods: In this study, expression of NEAT1 was analyzed in 19 osteosarcoma tissues and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues by using quantitative real-time PCR. Additionally, knockdown of NEAT1 expression using Lentivirus-mediated siRNA was performed in order to explore the biological function of NEAT1 on osteosarcoma cell proliferation and metastasis through MTT, colony formation assay and transwell assay.

Received: 5 June 2020; Accepted: 28 June 2020; Published: 1 July 2020 Abstract: Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) reported to be frequently deregulated in various types of cancers and neurodegenerative processes. NEAT1 is an indispensable structural component of paraspeckles (PSs), which are dynamic and membraneless nuclear bodies that affect different cellular functions, including stress response. Furthermore, increasing evidence supports the crucial role of NEAT1 and essential structural proteins of PSs (PSPs) in the regulation of the DNA damage repair (DDR) system. This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on the involvement of NEAT1 and PSPs in DDR, which might strengthen the rationale underlying future NEAT1-based therapeutic options in tumor and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Tumor Hypoxia Induces Nuclear Paraspeckle Formation Through HIF-2Α Dependent Transcriptional Activation of NEAT1 Leading to Cancer Cell Survival

H Choudhry1,2, A Albukhari1,3, M Morotti3, S Haider3, D Moralli2, J Smythies4, J Schödel5, CM Green2, C Camps2, F Buffa6, P Ratcliffe4, J Ragoussis2,7,8,9, AL Harris3,9 and DR Mole4,9 Activation of cellular transcriptional responses, mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), is common in many types of cancer, and generally confers a poor prognosis. Known to induce many hundreds of protein-coding genes, HIF has also recently been shown to be a key regulator of the non-coding transcriptional response. Here, we show that NEAT1 long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a direct transcriptional target of HIF in many breast cancer cell lines and in solid tumors. Unlike previously described lncRNAs, NEAT1 is regulated principally by HIF-2 rather than by HIF-1. NEAT1 is a nuclear lncRNA that is an essential structural component of paraspeckles and the hypoxic induction of NEAT1 induces paraspeckle formation in a manner that is dependent upon both NEAT1 and on HIF-2. Paraspeckles are multifunction nuclear structures that sequester transcriptionally active proteins as well as RNA transcripts that have been subjected to adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing. We show that the nuclear retention of one such transcript, F11R (also known as junctional adhesion molecule 1, JAM1), in hypoxia is dependent upon the hypoxic increase in NEAT1, thereby conferring a novel mechanism of HIF-dependent gene regulation.

  • Long Non-Coding Rnas Mechanisms of Action in HIV-1 Modulation and the Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets
    non-coding RNA Review Long Non-coding RNAs Mechanisms of Action in HIV-1 Modulation and the Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets Roslyn M. Ray and Kevin V. Morris * The Center for Gene Therapy, The Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope Medical Center, Duarte, CA 91010, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-6262182839 Received: 8 October 2019; Accepted: 10 March 2020; Published: 13 March 2020 Abstract: This review aims to highlight the role of long non-coding RNAs in mediating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) viral replication, latency, disease susceptibility and progression. In particular, we focus on identifying possible lncRNA targets and their purported mechanisms of action for future drug design or gene therapeutics. Keywords: HIV; lncRNA; transcription; antisense; epigenetic 1. Introduction The interplay between host gene expression and exposure to pathogens is a vital process that occurs in vivo. Cellular fate is determined through the differential expression of key pathways that are regulated and fine-tuned, in part, by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Manipulation of these lncRNAs by pathogens, genomic rearrangements or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to exert great effects on disease outcomes [1–3]. Long non-coding RNAs are an important class of RNAs involved in orchestrating and manipulating transcriptional and post-transcriptional effects in vivo. Further, lncRNAs have been found to undergo purifying selection, suggesting their functional importance in biological processes [4]. LncRNAs are RNAs that are over 200 nucleotides in length and usually have no functional coding potential [5]. LncRNAs work in cis or trans, or both, to exert their gene modulatory effects.
