doi: 10.1186/s40170-025-00377-3

Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-4259 targets the LDHA 3’UTR and inhibits LDHA-mediated gemcitabine resistance in PDAC. ( A ) The miR-4259 expression (left) and LDHA -3’UTR luciferase activity (right) in PANC-1 and PANC-1/GEM cells was measured by RT-qPCR and a luciferase reporter assay, respectively. The RT-qPCR data were normalized to the level of U47 RNA in each individual sample. ( B ) A schematic diagram representing the predicted miR-4259-binding sequences or the mutated versions of the miRNA (left). The luciferase reporter activity (right) of the LDHA -3’UTR wild-type (+ 1 ~ + 937) and LDHA -3’UTR mutant reporters (mutant sites: 498, 498/518 and 498/518/818) were measured by a dual-luciferase reporter assay in HEK-293T cells transfected with miR-4259 and a reporter at different ratios.

( D ) The LDHA and miR-4259 expression (left) of PANC-1/GEM cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were analyzed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR, respectively. The cell viability (right) of these transfectants in the presence of gemcitabine treatment was measured by the MTT assay.

Article Title: The RNA-binding protein KSRP aggravates malignant progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma through transcriptional inhibition and post-transcriptional destabilization of the NEDD4L ubiquitin ligase

doi: 10.1186/s12929-023-00949-9

Figure Lengend Snippet: KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KSRP) negatively regulates neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated 4 like (NEDD4L) mRNA stability via inducing miR-629-5p upregulation and targeting AU-rich elements (AREs) of the 3' untranslated region (3’UTR). A Decay rate of NEDD4L mRNA after treatment with 5 μg/mL actinomycin D for the indicated times in Caki-1 cells with or without KSRP-knockdown. B Flowchart for identifying miRNA induced by KSRP. The left part shows that TCGA miRNA sequencing data were retrieved from UCSC Xena. TCGA KIRC patients with low expression of miRNA (> 10% patients with reads per million mapped reads (RPM) of < 1) were excluded. The remaining 401 miRNAs were used to perform a differentially expressed (DE)-miRNA analysis between tumor ( n = 241) and normal tissues ( n = 70). Forty miRNAs were identified as upregulated miRNAs (with fold change (FC) of > 2 and a false discovery rate (FDR) of < 0.01) in KIRC tumor tissues. Right part shows 29 miRNAs with an FC of < 0.5 as identified in KSRP-depleted Caki-1 cells. By intersecting miRNAs upregulated in TCGA KIRC tissues with miRNAs induced by KSRP in ccRCC cells, miR-629-5p was identified as a critical candidate. C Real-time qPCR analysis of miR-629-5p in Caki-1 cells transfected with a KSRP shRNA, pEGFP-KSRP, or their corresponding control vector. D, E Caki-1 cells were transfected with an miR-629-5p mimic ( D ) or miR-629-5p inhibitor ( E ) for 24 h. NEDD4L protein levels and invasive ability of cells were respectively determined by Western blot (WB) (left panel) and Matrigel invasion (right panel) assays. F Expressions of KSRP and NEDD4L (left panel) and invasive ability of cells (right panel) were determined in Caki-1 cells transfected with pEGFP-KSRP with or without an miR-629-5p inhibitor. G Correlation between miR-629-5p and NEDD4L expression in TCGA KIRC patients as demonstrated in dot plots. Correlation coefficients and p values were evaluated by a Pearson correlation analysis. H GSEA of TCGA KIRC patients with high (top 5%) versus low (bottom 5%) expressions of miR-629-5p. A gene set of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) derived from HALLMARK was used. The normalized enrichment score (NES) and FDR are shown in the enrichment plot. I Correlations of miR-629-5p expression with EMT markers were demonstrated in a correlation plot using miRNA sequencing data of TCGA KIRC patients. Correlation coefficients and p values were evaluated by a Pearson correlation analysis. J WB analysis of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin expressions in Caki-1 and 786-O cells transfected with an miR-629-5p mimic.
