Description

Application of WNT10A and SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma diagnosis and treatment
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical fields of biological medicine and molecular biology, and particularly relates to application of WNT10A and SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma diagnosis and treatment.
Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the application and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor, accounting for 81% of malignant brain tumors. Glioblastomas are the most common gliomas (approximately 45% of all gliomas) and are characterized by poor prognosis, resistance to surgical and chemo-radiochemical regimens, and relative survival rates of only 5% for 5 years. The main reasons for poor prognosis in GBM patients are the malignant phenotypes and characteristics of tumor cells such as high proliferation capacity, invasive growth, intratumoral genetic heterogeneity, and microvascular proliferation. Currently, the standard international regimen for the treatment of GBM is to administer Temozolomide (TMZ) concurrent chemotherapy after maximum surgical resection, in combination with radiation therapy, but the overall therapeutic effect is not ideal. Due to the infiltration of glioma cells into surrounding brain tissue and poor permeability of the blood brain barrier to chemotherapeutic drugs, even with current advanced microsurgical techniques, it is difficult to completely ablate tumors and high resistance and tolerance of glioma cells to therapeutic interventions is easily achieved. Therefore, searching for a novel therapeutic way that effectively inhibits the malignant biological characteristics of gliomas, thereby prolonging the survival time of patients and improving the survival quality of patients is an important challenge facing the field of nerve tumor treatment.
The WNT signaling pathway shows pleiotropic physiological functions, ranging from neurogenesis to stem cell proliferation, and has been implicated in a variety of human cancers, including gliomas. This pathway is particularly relevant in the context of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs), which have been indicated as key mediators of cancer recurrence and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies directed to specific components of the WNT pathway have been widely explored. The WNT pathway has been found to be associated with poor prognosis and increased risk of colorectal adenoma in patients with gastric and bladder cancer resistance. Applicant previously screened for WNT members specifically expressed in gliomas, with WNT10A as a candidate gene, with the highest difference in significance. Importantly, no studies have been made to date to explore the relevance of WNT10A in human gliomas.
Meanwhile, long-chain non-coding RNAs have been found to have potential relationships with the development and progression of cancer in the past decade. Most of these long non-coding RNAs are endogenous, no less than 200 nucleotides in length, and have limited or no ability to encode proteins. SLCO4A1 antisense RNA 1 (SLCO 4A1-AS 1) is located on the antisense strand of chromosome 20 SLCO4A1, and is markedly overexpressed in several cancer types, associated with poor prognosis. However, its role in gliomas has not been reported.

The results showed that WNT10A, WNT16 expression levels in GBM were significantly elevated, again most significantly differing by WNT10A (shown in fig. 1A-B). Next, we analyzed WNT10A expression levels in different gliomas using TCGA and CGGA databases, and the results showed that WNT10A expression levels were highest in gliomas grade 4 (fig. 1C-D). The THE HUMAN PROTEIN ATLAS database also demonstrates the results of immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence of samples from our hospital patients (FIGS. 1E-G). We examined the differences in WNT10A levels in glioma cell lines, glioma primary cells and normal astrocytes using RT-qPCR techniques and Western-blot techniques, and found that WNT10A was highly expressed in most glioma cell lines (shown in FIGS. 1H-I). The prognostic value of WNT10A expression in Overall Survival (OS) of glioma patients was examined using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. In the TCGA and CGGA databases, WNT10A expression was significantly correlated with prognosis, and WNT10A high expression was predictive of a poor prognosis (shown in fig. 1J-K). Therefore, WNT10A can be used as a novel glioma prognosis marker, and provides a basis for postoperative survival assessment of patients. Also we found that WNT10A affects glioma dryness (shown in fig. 1L-M), which can promote malignant phenotypes such as glioma proliferation.
2. Verifying the inhibition of the knockdown WNT10A on glioma cell proliferation and invasion
Based on the aberrant upregulation of WNT10A expression in gliomas, suggesting that it may exert oncogene-promoting functions, to assess the role of WNT10A in glioma malignancy biology, lentiviral lenti-shWNT10A was constructed to down-regulate WNT10A expression in glioma cell lines LN229, U118 and gbm#p3. The effect of WNT10A on cell proliferation was determined using CCK-8, colony formation, edU, cell pelleting experiments. CCK-8 results showed that glioma cells from the WNT10A knockdown group proliferated significantly less after 4 days than the control group (FIG. 2A); the result of EdU also confirmed this conclusion (fig. 2C). At the same time, the glioma cell colony forming ability and the spheroidization ability of the WNT10A knockdown group were both inhibited (fig. 2b, g, h). In the invasion capacity test, the invasion capacity of the WNT10A knockdown group of glioma cells was tested again with the brain-like technique at a significantly lower distance to peripheral matrigel invasion than the control group (fig. 2D) at 72 hours, and the conclusion was consistent (fig. 2F). Flow cytometry detection shows that the WNT10A can promote apoptosis of glial cells after knockdown (figure 2E), and the results show that the down-regulation of the WNT10A gene can inhibit malignant growth and invasion capacity of glioma cells.
Influence of WNT10A on intracranial tumor growth
The growth progress of glioma after intracranial seed tumors of nude mice was detected using a bioluminescence imaging (BLI) system. The results showed that the fluorescent intensity was significantly reduced 20 days after the seed tumor in the lenti-shWNT10A group compared with the control group (FIG. 2K). The total survival time of the control group was shorter than that of the lenti-shWNT10A group (P <0.001, FIG. 2L). Immunohistochemical detection of Ki67 cell proliferation index by using mouse brain-stained tissue section shows that the Ki67 histochemical score of the lenti-shWNT10A group is obviously reduced (figure 2M), immunofluorescence shows that SOX2 tumor cell stem index is also obviously reduced (figure 2N), and the result shows that the down-regulation of WNT10A leads to the reduction of the growth speed of glioma cells in vivo.
WNT10A down-regulation of glioblastoma cell FZD1-JNK-cJUN signaling pathway
The cJUN protein belongs to one of activated protein-1 (AP-1) transcription complexes, is a transcription factor with the most transcription activity in the AP-1 complex, and can be used for regulating and controlling biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis and the like by promoting the expression and activation of the cJUN protein through various physical, chemical and biological stimuli and cell stress reactions. High cJUN protein expression has been shown to be closely related to the occurrence and prognosis of a variety of malignant tumors. We predict and verify through protein interaction technology that the receptor FZD1 (FIGS. 3A-F) of WNT10A on the surface of tumor cells shows that after knockdown of WNT10A, the JNK phosphorylation level in tumor cells is reduced, and the JNK phosphorylation level is obviously increased after over-expression of WNT10A, but the signal channels such as beta-Catenin, caMKII and the like closely related to Frizzled receptors are not obviously changed (FIG. 3G). Transcriptome sequencing found that knockdown of WNT10A primarily affected expression of downstream FOSB, which was subsequently verified by RT-qPCR, was consistent with sequencing results (fig. 3H-J), which was an important component of the AP-1 complex, and after JNK phosphorylation was reduced, also affected stability of cJUN protein, which was in turn used as a transcription factor to regulate FOSB expression, which constituted a positive feedback loop, which was verified by CHIP experiments (fig. 3K). And corresponding verification is carried out by adopting a Western-blot technology (shown in fig. 3L-M). Based on the above experiments, we propose the idea that, after WNT10A is knocked down, activation of FZD1-JNK-cJUN signaling pathway in glioma cells is inhibited, thereby affecting malignant phenotypes such as glioma cell proliferation, invasion, etc.

After 24, 48, 72, 96 hours of incubation, 10ul of CCK-8 was added to each well, incubated in an incubator for 1-2 hours, and absorbance at 450nm was measured with an microplate reader.
6. Cell colony generation assay
LN229, A172 and U118 cells transfected with si-NC, si-SLCO4A1-AS1-1, si-SLCO4A1-AS1-2 were plated uniformly into 6-well plates, 800 cells per well, cultured in an incubator for about 14 days, and cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes. Cells were stained with crystal violet for 15 minutes and observed and imaged under a microscope.
EDU experiment
We used the EdU cell proliferation assay kit to perform EdU assays. The control and experimental groups were inoculated in 24 well plates with 2 ten thousand cells per well. After 24h, incubation with EDU was carried out for 2h at 37℃and then fixation with 4% neutral paraformaldehyde fixative at room temperature for 15min at room temperature in the absence of light. Cells were incubated with 0.1mL of 0.5% Triton X-100 permeate for 20 minutes at room temperature. The Click-iT reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes in the dark. Finally, nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 for 15-30 minutes, imaged and counted under a microscope.
8. Cell invasion Capacity detection experiment
Cell invasion was assessed by transwell experiments. LN229, A172, U118 cells after 12-24 hours of transfection were placed in the upper chamber of the 12-well plate, in FBS-free medium. The lower chamber was filled with medium containing 15% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The cells of the upper chamber were rubbed with a cotton swab, stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 10 minutes and counted, and incubated in an incubator at 37℃and 5% CO2 for 24-48 hours, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes. In three-dimensional invasion experiments, transfected P3 cells (3000/well) were evenly seeded into 96-well plates. After sphere formation, the challenge gel was added to the wells and incubated in an incubator for 48 hours. The affected sphere was observed under a microscope and imaged. The invasiveness of transfected tumor cells was examined by comparison with the control group.
9. Statistical analysis
ANOVA or t-test was applied using GraphPad Prism 7 software. All experiments were repeated 3 times and mean ± standard error was taken. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was analyzed using the log-rank test. The chi-square test and fisher's deterministic analysis were applied to determine the relationship between SLCO4A1-AS1 expression and clinical pathology. P <0.05 is statistically significant for the differences.
2. Experimental results
The expression level of SLCO4A1-AS1 was up-regulated in gliomas and correlated with tumor grade, IDH mutation status, 1p/19q coding status
The gene expression level differences of SLCO4A1-AS1 in GBM and normal brain tissues were first analyzed using the TCGA and GTEx combined database. The results showed that SLCO4A1-AS1 expression levels were elevated in gliomas (shown in FIG. 4A) compared to normal brain tissue, AS verified in the GSE44971 database (FIG. 4B). The relationship between SLCO4A1-AS1 expression level and glioma classification was analyzed in further detail (FIGS. 4C, D), and it was revealed that SLCO4A1-AS1 expression level was highest in GBM. The above results indicate an important role for SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma malignancy classification. Further, the applicant analyzed the relationship between age (FIG. 4E, F), IDH mutation status (FIG. 4G, H), 1p/19q coding status (FIG. 4I, J) and SLCO4A1-AS1 expression level in TCGA and CGGA databases. The results showed significant correlation with high expression of SLCO4A1-AS 1.
SLCO4A1-AS1 high expression can be used AS a marker with poor prognosis for glioma patients
The relationship between SLCO4A1-AS1 and other clinical traits and clinical prognosis was verified using single-factor, multi-factor COX regression analysis, and the results showed that the expression level of SLCO4A1-AS1 was independent of prognosis (shown in FIG. 5). The prognostic value of SLCO4A1-AS1 expression in the Overall Survival (OS) of glioma patients was examined using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. In TCGA and CGGA databases, SLCO4A1-AS1 expression was significantly correlated with prognosis, with high SLCO4A1-AS1 expression in all glioma patients, LGG and GBM patients, indicating poor prognosis (shown in fig. 6). Therefore, SLCO4A1-AS1 can be used AS a new glioma prognosis marker, and provides a basis for postoperative survival assessment of patients.
3. Verifying the knockout efficiency of SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma cells and the inhibition effect of knockout SLCO4A1-AS1 on glioma cell proliferation and invasion
Based on the aberrant upregulation of expression of SLCO4A1-AS1 in gliomas, it was suggested that it may play an oncogene role in glioma development and progression, to assess the role of SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma malignancy biology, small interference was used to knock out expression of SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma cell lines LN229, a172, U118 and gbm#p3. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that SLCO4A1-AS1 expression levels were significantly reduced after knockout of SLCO4A1-AS1 compared to NC groups (FIG. 7A). These results further demonstrate the effectiveness of si-SLCO4A1-AS1 in down-regulating SLCO4A1-AS1 in glioma cell in vitro functional assays. The effect of SLCO4A1-AS1 on cell proliferation was determined using CCK-8, colony formation, and EDU experiments. CCK-8 results showed that glioma cells from the SLCO4A1-AS1 knockout group proliferated significantly less after 4 days than the control group (FIG. 7B); meanwhile, the glioma cell colony forming ability of the SLCO4A1-AS1 knockout group is inhibited (fig. 7C), and the cell proliferation activity of the SLCO4A1-AS1 knockout group is remarkably reduced (fig. 8), and in the invasive ability detection experiment, the glioma cell invasive ability of the SLCO4A1-AS1 knockout group is remarkably reduced (fig. 9). These results indicate that down-regulation of the SLCO4A1-AS1 gene can inhibit malignant growth and invasive capacity of glioma cells.
