This study explores the mechanism of miR-19b-3p in bladder cancer (BCa) cell proliferation and apoptosis to provide the latest theoretical basis for miR-19b-3p to become a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for BCa. miR-19b-3p, lncRNA SNHG20, and HS3ST3B1 expressions in BCa tissues or cells were detected via RT-qPCR or Western blot. Cell proliferation was evaluated via CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell apoptosis was assessed via flow cytometry, and apoptosis related factors Bax and Bcl-2 were detected via Western blot. Dual luciferase and RIP assays confirmed the binding of miR-19b-3p and lncRNA SNHG20. The binding between lncRNA SNHG20, TARDBP, and HS3ST3B1 was analyzed by RIP, RNA pull down, and co-immunoprecipitation. The RNA stability of lncRNA SNHG20 and HS3ST3B1 was tested after actinomycin D treatment. A nude mouse xenograft tumor model was established to validate the effect of miR-19b-3p on BCa in vivo. miR-19b-3p was weakly expressed in BCa, while lncRNA SNHG20 and HS3ST3B1 were highly expressed. Overexpression of miR-19b-3p repressed BCa cell proliferation but facilitated apoptosis. Mechanistically, miR-19b-3p decreased lncRNA SNHG20 expression by binding to lncRNA SNHG20 and reducing its stability, thus repressing the interaction between lncRNA SNHG20-TARDBP-HS3ST3B1. Further in vivo experiments also revealed that miR-19b-3p restrained the in vivo tumorigenicity of BCa cells and promoted apoptosis by suppressing the lncRNA SNHG20/HS3ST3B1 axis. In conclusion, overexpression of miR-19b-3p represses BCa cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis by suppressing the lncRNA SNHG20/HS3ST3B1 axis.
Objective:To investigate the effects of gemcitabine on the proliferation, cell cycle, tumor invasion and tumor stem cell characteristics of bladder cancer stem cell-like cells.Methods:Bladder cancer stem cell-like cell lines were selected by using the chemotherapy drug cisplatin combined with serum-free medium technology, CCK-8 method was used to detect the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of gemcitabine on bladder cancer stem cell-like cells, The cell cycle distribution of bladder cancer stem cell-like cells was detected by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of ctamer binds transcription factor 4(OCT-4) and human balanced nucleoside transporter 1(hENT-1) in the experimental and control groups.Results:After treatment with 1.6 μmol/L gemcitabine for 24 h, the cell inhibition rate was the highest [(75.2±4.5) %, P<0.001]. Compared with each group, the number of cells in S phase in group C decreased significantly, while the expression of hENT-1 protein was significantly increased ( P<0.001). The tumor invasion ability of bladder cancer stem cell-like cells treated with gemcitabine was decreased ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Gemcitabine has a killing and inhibitory effect on bladder cancer stem cell-like cells, which can weaken the stem cell characteristics and tumor invasion ability.
Objective:To investigate the expression of DLG1 in bladder cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods:The expression levels of DLG1 in the bladder cancer tissues and normal bladder tissues collected from 138 cases of bladder cancer patients from February 2009 to September 2014 were detected by real-time fluorescence reverse transcription and immunohistochemistry, and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The mRNA and protein expression levels of DLG1 of bladder cancer group was higher than that in normal bladder group ( P<0.01). The positive rate of DLG1 protein expression in bladder cancer was higher than that in normal bladder group ( P<0.01). The expression level of DLG1 protein was not significantly correlated with age ( P>0.05), while was positively correlated with TMN stage, pathological grade, recurrence, depth of invasion, vascular infiltration, maximal diameter of tumor (≥2 cm) and lymph node metastasis ( P<0.01). The 3-year survival rate and survival time of the DLG1 negative group were significantly higher than those of the DLG1 positive group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The expression of DLG1 is elevated in bladder cancer patients, and it can promote the disease development, so patients with low expression of DLG1 can obtain a better prognosis.

Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical and complex roles in regulating various biological processes of cancers. Our study aimed to investigate the involvement of lncRNA NCK1-AS1 in urinary bladder cancer (UBC). Methods qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA NCK1-AS1 and miR-143 in UBC tissues and cells. The dual-luciferase reporter system assays were used to confirm the interaction between NCK1-AS1 and miR-143, and flow cytometry assays were applied to examine the behavioral changes in HT-1376 and HT-1197 cell lines. Results It was observed that NCK1-AS1 was up-regulated, while miR-143 was down-regulated in tumor tissues than in adjacent healthy tissues of urinary bladder cancer (UBC) patients. A 5-year survival analysis showed that the survival rate of patients with high NCK1-AS1 level or low miR-143 level in tumor tissues appears relatively low. Correlation analysis revealed a significant inverse correlation between NCK1-AS1 and miR-143 in tumor tissues. Over-expression NCK1-AS1 reduced the expression level of miR-143, while elevating the level of miR-143 failed to affect NCK1-AS1 expression. NCK1-AS1 over-expression led to promoted proliferation and increased percentage of CD133+ (stemness) cells. Conclusion Therefore, NCK1-AS1 promotes cancer cell proliferation and increases cell stemness in UBC patients by down-regulating miR-143.
Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an aggressive and malignant kidney cancer which has the worst prognosis. Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified as a novel class of regulators in oncogenesis and metastasis, there are few studies on their participation in ccRCC. In the present study, we observed that miR-367 expression was increased in both human ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay kit, which indicated that inhibition of miR-367 could suppress the ccRCC proliferation. Forced expression of miR-367 substantially induced cell migration and invasion evidenced by wound-healing and transwell assays, and this carcinogenesis could be abolished by miR-367 inhibitor treatment. Further analysis identified Metastasis-Associated Protein 3 (MTA3) as a direct target of miR-367. QRT-PCR and western blot results indicated the correlative expression of miR-367 and MTA3 in ccRCC tissue samples. Overexpression of MTA3 reversed miR-367-induced cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Our data uncovered a novel molecular interaction between miR-367 and MTA3, indicating a therapeutic strategy of miR-367 for ccRCC.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in anti-renal cell carcinoma (RCC) immunity. The aim of the study was to investigate effect of mimic RCC microenvironment on phenotype and function of DCs. We isolated conditioned media (CM) from supernatants of culturing RCC cells and adjacent non-RCC cells in patients. CD14+ monocytes were obtained from healthy donors. The monocytes derived DCs were treated by RCC CM and non-RCC CM. Maturation markers CD80, CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR on DCs were analyzed using flow cytometry, while the levels of IL-10, TGF-β, and IL12p70 in supernatants were examined by ELISA. The DCs migration treated with RCC CM and non-RCC CM was investigated using transwell assay. The DCs treated and allogenic T cells were co-cultured for detecting T-cell proliferation and change of phenotype on the T cells. Our results indicated that RCC CM inhibited the up-regulation of CD80,CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR in response to LPS in treated DCs and increased IL-10 and TGF-β secretion but reduced IL12p70 production. Moreover, the migration ability of DCs treated with RCC CM was also inhibited, compared to DCs treated with adjacent non-RCC CM. In addition, T-cell proliferation was suppressed in co-culture assay with DCs treated with RCC CM; proportion CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells were induced to increase. This study suggests that RCC CM can inhibit maturation of DCs and impair its function; moreover, DCs treated with RCC CM induce regulatory T cells increase, thus could contribute RCC escape from antitumor immunity.
Ribavirin is an anti-viral drug; however, recent data suggest that it may also be effective in cancer therapy. This study investigated the effect of ribavirin alone or in combination with IFN-α on biological processes: proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of murine (Renca) and human renal carcinoma (RCC) cells (786–0) in vitro.
