Paraspeckles are RNA-protein structures within the nucleus of mammalian cells, capable of orchestrating various biochemical processes. An overexpression of the architectural component of paraspeckles, a long non-coding RNA called NEAT1 (Nuclear Enriched Abundant Transcript 1), has been linked to a variety of cancers and is often associated with poor patient prognosis. Thus, there is an accumulating interest in the role of paraspeckles in carcinogenesis, however there is a limited understanding of how NEAT1 expression is regulated. Here, we demonstrate that both nuclear G-quadruplex (G4) and paraspeckle formation are significantly increased in a human breast cancer cell line compared to non-tumorigenic breast cells. Moreover, we identified and characterized G4-forming sequences within the NEAT1 promoter and demonstrate stabilization of G4 DNA with a G4-stabilizing small molecule results in a significant alteration in both paraspeckle formation and NEAT1 expression. This G4-mediated alteration of NEAT1 at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels was evident in U2OS osteosarcoma cells, MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma and MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cells.

Východiska: V současné době dosahuje efektivita radioterapie u nádorů rekta přijatelné úrovně pouze u malého počtu pacientů (mají kompletní klinickou odpověď), což je spojeno se vznikem radiorezistence maligních buněk. Komplexní studie, která integruje různé epigenetické parametry, by vysvětlila řadu molekulárních mechanizmů radiorezistence rektálních nádorových buněk a identifikovala seznam nových biomarkerů. V posledním desetiletí byla pomocí vysoce výkonného sekvenování prokázána existence regulační sítě kompetitivně interagujících RNA, skládající se z dlouhých nekódujících RNA, mikroRNA a mRNA. Cíl: Cílem studie bylo analyzovat rysy fungování regulační sítě kompetitivně interagujících RNA u pacientů s karcinomem rekta, kteří jsou radiorezistentní a citliví na radioterapii. Materiál a metody: Studie byla provedena na 500 pacientech s diagnózou karcinomu rekta. Radioterapie byla prováděna na lineárním urychlovači částic Novalis TX podle standardního protokolu (jednorázová fokální dávka 2,4 Gy, celková fokální dávka 54,0 Gy). Preparáty celkové RNA byly izolovány z párových bioptických fragmentů podmíněně normálních a nádorových tkání rekta (získaných videokolonoskopií). Relativní množství transkriptů mRNA, microRNA a lncRNA bylo hodnoceno metodou RT-qPCR. Bioinformatická analýza byla použita ke stanovení pravděpodobnosti potenciálních interakcí mezi zkoumanou mRNA, mikroRNA a lncRNA. Ukázalo se, že účinnost radioterapie závisí na úrovni exprese mikroRNA (miRNA-195-5p; miRNA-4257; miRNA-5187-5p; miRNA-149-5p; miRNA-138 -1-3p; miRNA-6798-5p; miRNA-6819-5p; miRNA-4728-5p; miRNA-1249-5p; miRNA-557; miRNA-1273h-5p; miRNA-6737-5p; miRNA-6808-5p; miRNA-3202; miRNA-5195-3p; miRNA-130b-3p) a lncRNA (XIST, HELLPAR, NEAT1 HELLPAR, NEAT1, AC008124.1, LINC01089, LINC01547 a VASH1-AS1), které regulují systém opravy DNA (H2AX a RBBP8) a apoptózu (BCL2). Závěr: Komplexní studium vlastností regulační sítě kompetitivně interagujících RNA a účinnosti radioterapie u nádorů rekta umožnilo stanovit mechanizmy vzniku radiorezistence a její prediktory.

Background: Currently, rectal tumors radiotherapy effectiveness reaches an acceptable level only in a small number of patients (they have a complete clinical response), which is associated with the formation of malignant cells radioresistance. A comprehensive study that integrates various epigenetic parameters would explain a number of molecular mechanisms of rectal tumor cells radioresistance and identify new biomarkers. In the last decade, using high-throughput sequencing, the competitively interacting RNAs regulatory network (long non-coding RNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs) has been shown. Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the features of competitively interacting RNAs regulatory network functioning in patients with rectal cancer who are radioresistant and sensitive to radiotherapy. The study was performed on 500 patients with diagnosed rectal cancer. Radiotherapy was performed on a Novalis TX linear particle accelerator according to the standard protocol (single focal dose 2.4 Gy, total focal dose 54.0 Gy). Total RNA preparations were isolated from paired biopsy fragments of tumor and non-tumor tissues of the rectum (obtained by video-colonoscopy). The relative abundance of mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA transcripts was assessed by the RT-qPCR method. Using bioinformatic analysis, the probability of potential interactions between the investigated mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA was determined. It has been shown that the effectiveness of radiotherapy depends on the level of miRNA (miRNA-195-5p; miRNA-4257; miRNA-5187-5p; miRNA-149-5p; miRNA-138 -1-3p; miRNA-6798-5p; miRNA-6819-5p; miRNA-4728-5p; miRNA-1249-5p; miRNA-557; miRNA-1273h-5p; miRNA-6737-5p; miRNA-6808-5p; miRNA-3202; miRNA-5195-3p; miRNA-130b-3p) and lncRNA (XIST, HELLPAR, NEAT1, AC008124. 1, LINC01089, LINC01547, and VASH1-AS1) expression, which regulate the DNA repair system (H2AX, RBBP8) and apoptosis (BCL2). Conclusion: A comprehensive study of competitively interacting RNAs regulatory network and radiotherapy effectiveness of rectal tumors made it possible to establish the mechanisms of radioresistance formation and its biomarkers.

OBJECTIVES: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins. They are involved in pathogenesis of many diseases including cancer and have a potential to serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers. We aimed to investigate lncRNA expression profiles in bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients in comparison to normal BMPCs of healthy donors (HD) in a three-phase biomarker study. METHODS: Expression profile of 83 lncRNA was performed by RT2 lncRNA PCR Array (Qiagen), followed by quantitative real-time PCR using specific TaqMan non-coding RNA assays analyzing 84 newly diagnosed MM patients and 25 HD. RESULTS: Our analysis revealed dysregulation of two lncRNAs; NEAT1 (sensitivity of 55.0% and specificity of 79.0%) and UCA1 (sensitivity of 85.0% and specificity of 94.7%). UCA1 levels correlated with albumin and monoclonal immunoglobulin serum levels, cytogenetic aberrations, and survival of MM patients. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests a possible prognostic impact of UCA1 expression levels on MM patients.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder with variable expressivity even in carriers of the same underlying genetic defect, suggesting other genetic and epigenetic factors participate in modifying HAE severity. Recent knowledge indicates the role of immune cells in several aspects of HAE pathogenesis, which makes monocytes and macrophages candidates to mediate these effects. Here we combined a search for HAE phenotype modifying gene variants with the characterization of selected genes' mRNA levels in monocyte and macrophages in a symptom-free period. While no such gene variant was found to be associated with a more severe or milder disease, patients revealed a higher number of dysregulated genes and their expression profile was significantly altered, which was typically manifested by changes in individual gene expression or by strengthened or weakened relations in mutually co-expressed gene groups, depending on HAE severity. SERPING1 showed decreased expression in HAE-C1INH patients, but this effect was significant only in patients carrying mutations supposedly activating nonsense-mediated decay. Pro-inflammatory CXC chemokine superfamily members CXCL8, 10 and 11 were downregulated, while other genes such as FCGR1A, or long non-coding RNA NEAT1 were upregulated in patients. Co-expression within some gene groups (such as an NF-kappaB function related group) was strengthened in patients with a severe and/or mild course compared to controls. All these findings show that transcript levels in myeloid cells achieve different activation or depression levels in HAE-C1INH patients than in healthy controls and/or based on disease severity and could participate in determining the HAE phenotype.
