Abstract

Insights

SH3PXD2A-AS1 promotes cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by affecting FOXM1 succinylation through SIRT7. Inhibiting SH3PXD2A-AS1 may offer a new therapeutic strategy for NSCLC patients.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Oncology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Cisplatin (DDP) resistance diminishes the efficacy of chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.
  • SH3PXD2A-AS1 is investigated for its role in DDP resistance in NSCLC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of SH3PXD2A-AS1 on DDP resistance in NSCLC.
  • To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms involving FOXM1 succinylation and SIRT7.

Main Methods:

  • Cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry for proliferation and apoptosis assays.
  • Co-immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down, RIP, and FISH to assess molecular interactions.
  • Western blot and IP to analyze protein succinylation.
  • Xenografted tumor model in mice to evaluate in vivo effects.

Main Results:

  • SH3PXD2A-AS1 expression is elevated in DDP-resistant NSCLC cells.
  • Silencing SH3PXD2A-AS1 suppresses cell viability, promotes apoptosis, and decreases FOXM1 levels while increasing FOXM1 succinylation.
  • SIRT7 interacts with FOXM1, inhibiting its succinylation at K259; SIRT7 overexpression reverses the effects of SH3PXD2A-AS1 silencing.
  • SH3PXD2A-AS1 inhibition suppressed tumor growth and related protein markers in vivo.

Conclusions:

  • SH3PXD2A-AS1 promotes DDP resistance in NSCLC by regulating FOXM1 succinylation via SIRT7.
  • Targeting SH3PXD2A-AS1 presents a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures03:17

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures

Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...
