Abstract
Introduction
Colorectal cancer (CRC), as the third commonest malignant tumor globally, has thrown great threaten to public health (1,2). Despite many efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of CRC, the prognosis still remains unsatisfied. CRC is a multi-step process involving the dyregulation of multiple genes; therefore, investigations on the precise mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of CRC are essential.
lncRNAs, a class of RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides with limited or no protein-coding ability, have attracting more and more attention of researchers. lncRNAs have been reported to be involved in a variety of biological processes, including tumorigenesis through regulating oncogenes or tumor suppressors at several levels (3–12). For example, Xia et al (13) demonstrated that long noncoding RNA papillary thyroid carcinoma susceptibility candidate 3 (PTCSC3) inhibited proliferation and invasion of glioma cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Su et al (14) illustrated that long noncoding RNA BLACAT1 indicated a poor prognosis of colorectal cancer and affected cell proliferation by epigenetically silencing p15. Pei et al (15) reported that downregulation of lncRNA CASC2 promoted cell proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. And also many lncRNAs, for instance, ROR, BLACAT1, ANCR, TUG1, are identified to be dysregulated and play critical role in the initial and progression of CRC (14,16–18). FAM83H-AS1 has been identified to play critical roles in lung cancer and breast cancer (19,20). However, its biological function in CRC has not been thoroughly studied. Notch signaling has been reported to play important roles in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and death (21–23).
In the present study, we revealed that FAM83H-AS1 was upregulated both in CRC tissues and cells for the first time. Further experiments demonstrated that silenced FAM83H-AS1 could suppress cell proliferation and such function was at least partially mediated by regulating Notch signal pathway.
Materials and methods
Patients and specimens
Human primary CRC tissues and their paired adjacent tissues were obtained from 40 patients at the Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Institute, Sichuan Cancer Center, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. None of these patients had received local or systemic treatment before the operation. All of the tissues were stored at −80°C. An experienced pathologist assessed the differentiation grade, pathological stage, grade and nodal status. The clinical pathological parameters involved in the analysis included age, sex, tumor differentiation, distant metastasis, TNM stage and tumor size (defined based on the diameter of tumor). The tumor differentiation is defined as following: Well, tumor cell differentiation close to normal cell; moderately, tumor cell is poorly differentiated but still retain some vestiges of originally tissues; and poor, tumor cell is very poorly differentiated with no vestiges of originally tissues. The TNM classification is defined as fowling: T is defined as primary tumor (Tx: The primary tumor is not determined; T0: No original tumor evidence; Tis: carcinoma in situ; T1: Tumor invading tunica submucosa; T2: Tumor invading intestinal wall muscularis; T3: Tumor invading serosa or primary tumor located at the colon or rectum without serosa or tumor located at colon or rectum adjacent tissues; T4: Primary tumor invading through the peritoneal or invading other ogans). N is defined as regional lymph nodes (Nx: Regional lymph node is not determined; N0: No regional lymph node metastasis; N1: 1–3 regional lymph nodes metastasis; N2: 4 or more regional lymph nodes metastasis). M is defined as distant metastasis (M0: No metastasis; M1: metastasis). TNM stage includes I–IV. All the written informed consents were obtained from patients. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Institute, Sichuan Cancer Center, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
Cell culture
All human colonic cancer cell lines including SW480, LoVo, HCT116, HT29 and the human colonic epithelial cells HCoEpiC were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a incubator containing 5% of CO2.
Cell transfection
CRC cells were placed with a desired cell number and 24 h later, target shRNA and non-targeting controls (shRNA; Dharmacon, Inc., Lafayette, CO, USA) were transfected with a final concentration of 10 nM. Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent and OptiMEM medium were used for the cell interference assays on the basis of the manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). SMART pool of FAM83H-AS1 shRNA (Dharmacon, Inc.) was used in this study to form silenced FAM83H-AS1 (sh-FAM83H-AS1). The interference efficiency was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell lines stably interfering FAM83H-AS1 were transfected with the plasmid sh-FAM83H-AS1, and screened with G418 (10 mg/ml) for two months.
RT-qPCR
Total RNA was severally extracted from tumor tissues and cell lines by using a Trizol kit (Invitrogen). cDNA was subsequently synthesized from total RNA by using an Omniscript RT kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) under the manufacturer's instructions. RT-PCR reaction was conducted on the Mastercycler ep realplex (Eppendorf 2S; Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). A 25-µl-reaction mixture contained 1 µl of cDNA from samples, 12.5 µl of 2X Fast EvaGreen™ qPCR Master Mix, 1 µl primers (10 mM), and 10.5 µl of RNase/DNase-free water. The Ct value was defined as the cycle number at which the fluorescence intensity reached a certain threshold where amplification of each target gene was within the linear region of the reaction amplification curves. Glyceraldheyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was taken as internal controls. Relative mRNA expression of FAM83H-AS1 was calculated by using the 2−ΔΔCt method. The primers for FAM83H-AS1 were: forward, 5′-TAGGAAACGAGCGAGCCC-3′ and reverse, 5′-GCTTTGGGTCTCCCCTTCTT-3′. The primers for GAPDH were: forward, 5′-GGGAGCCAAAAGGGTCAT-3′ and reverse, 5′-GAGTCCTTCCACGATACCAA-3′.
Cell viability
Cell viability was assessed via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-trtrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cells (5×103 cells/well) transfected with indicated vector were seeded in a 96-well flat-bottomed plate for 24 h and cultured in the normal medium. At 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after transfection, the MTT solution (5 mg/ml, 20 µl) was added to each well. Following incubation for 4 h, the media was removed and 100 µl DMSO was added to each well. The relative number of surviving cells was assessed by measuring the optical density (OD) of cell lysates at 560 nm. All assays were performed in triplicate.
5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) proliferation assay
The EdU proliferation assay was conducted using Cell-Light EdU Apollo 567 In Vitro Imaging kit (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China) under the introduction of the manufracture's instructions. Briefly, approximately 5×103 cells/wells with indicated treatments were seeded into 96-well plates. After 24 h, 100 µl medium with 50 µM EdU was added into each well and incubated for 2 h under 37°C. Afterwards, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, then stained with Hoechst 33342 and Apollo reaction cocktail. Images were taken by applying fluorescence microscopy (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and then merged by Photoshop 6.0 software. EdU-positive cells and total cells were counted within each field.
Colony formation assay
Cells (500 cells/well) transfected with indicated vector were plated in 6-well plates and incubated at 37°C. Two weeks later, the cells were fixed and stained with 0.1% of crystal violet. The number of visible colonies was counted manually.
Western bolt analysis and antibodies
Total protein lysates were separated in 10% of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and were electrophoretically transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Protein loading was estimated by using mouse anti-GAPDH monoclonal antibody. The membranes were blotted with 10% of non-fat milk in TBST for 2 h at room temperature, washed and then probed with the rabbit anti-Notch1 (1:2,000 dilution), Hes1 (1:2,000 dilution), and GAPDH (1:3,000 dilution), overnight (8 h) at 4°C, followed by treatment with secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase for 2 h at room temperature. The proteins were detected by using an enhanced chemiluminescence system and exposed to X-ray film. All antibodies were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA).
Statistical analysis
Data were shown as the means ± standard error of at least three independent experiments. The SPSS 17.0 software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Two group comparisons were performed with a Student's t-test. Multiple group comparisons were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. Statistically significant positive correlation between the expression level of FAM83H-AS1 and that of Notch1 or Hes1 in CRC tissues was analyzed by Spearman's correlation analysis. The Pearson χ2 test was used to evaluate the relationship between the expression of FAM83H-AS1 and clinical features. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival curves between high-FAM83H-AS1 and low-FAM83H-AS1 expression groups via the log-rank test. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
FAM83H-AS1 and Notch1 were upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines
To explore the biological function of FAM83H-AS1 and its relationship with Notch signaling in CRC, we first measured the levels of FAM83H-AS1, Notch1 and Hes1 in the CRC tissues and corresponding normal tissues by RT-qPCR. As shown in Fig. 1A, compared with corresponding normal tissues, the levels of FAM83H-AS1, Notch1 and Hes1 were significantly increased in CRC tissues. And the FAM83H-AS1 showed significantly positive correlation with Notch1 and Hes1, analyzed by Spearman's correlation analysis (Fig. 1B). Then, the levels of FAM83H-AS1, Notch1 and Hes1 were also determined in four human colonic cancer cell lines including SW480, LoVo, HCT116, HT29 and a human colonic epithelial cell HCoEpiC. As presented in Fig. 1C, the expression levels of the three molecules were obviously increased in all the four CRC cell lines in comparison to the human colonic epithelial cell. The consistent expression levels of FAM83H-AS1, Notch1 and Hes1 both in CRC tissues and cell lines indicated that FAM83H-AS1 might be involved in the progression of CRC and implied the association between FAM83H-AS1 and Notch signal pathway.
High level of FAM83H-AS1 was associated with clinical features and poor prognosis
To detect the clinical significance of FAM83H-AS1 expression in CRC, 62 patients were divided into highly-expressed FAM83H-AS1 group (n=31) and low-expressed FAM83H-AS1 group (n=31) according to the cut-off value, which was defined as the median of the cohort. As revealed in Table I, high expression of FAM83H-AS1 in CRC patients was significantly correlated with advanced tumor stage (P=0.004) and large tumor size (P=0.002). In addition, patients with high expression of FAM83H-AS1 were associated with worse overall survival in CRC patients (P=0.006; Fig. 2). These data indicated that FAM83H-AS1 might act as a potent biomarker for predicting prognosis in CRC patients.

Silenced FAM83H-AS1 inhibited cell proliferation and migration via affecting cell apoptosis
To investigate the function of FAM83H-AS1 on the cell proliferation of CRC cells, SW480 and HT29 cells were transfected with sh-FAM83H-AS1. Satisfied transfection efficiency was obtained after 48 h (Fig. 3A). MTT assay was performed to measure the viability of SW480 and HT29 cells transfected with sh-FAM83H-AS1, and results illustrated that silenced FAM83H-AS1 could significantly inhibit the cell proliferation ability (Fig. 3B). The result of colony formation assays indicated that colony formation was remarkably inhibited by FAM83H-AS1 knockdown (Fig. 3C). Besides, the inhibited cell proliferation by sh-FAM83H-AS1 was further affirmed by the data from EdU assay (Fig. 3D). Furthermore, transwell assay was designed to detect how silenced FAM83H-AS1 affected cell migration. As diagramed in Fig. 3E, the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1 remarkably impaired migratory cells in comparison with the negative control. Meanwhile, the silence of FAM83H-AS1 also augmented the apoptotic cells compared to the negative control (Fig. 3F). These data indicated that knockdown FAM83H-AS1 suppressed the proliferative and migratory ability of CRC cells through influencing cell apoptosis.
The growth-inhibition in CRC cells mediated by the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1 could be reversed by Notch1 activator
It has been implicated that Notch signal pathway was involved in regulating cell proliferation (24,25). Due to the correlation of FAM83H-AS1 with Notch1 and its downstream gene Hes1, we hypothesized that the function of FAM83H-AS1 in CRC might be mediated by Notch signal pathway. To confirm this hypothesis, we measured the level of Notch in response to the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1. As illustrated in Fig. 4A, silenced FAM83H-AS1 could suppress the expressions of Notch1 and Hest1 both in mRNA and protein levels. To make further confirmation, Jagged-1/Fc, one Notch1 activator, was added to activate the Notch signal pathway. After Jagged-1/Fc was added, the weakened expressions of Notch1 ans Hes1 triggered by the silence of FAM83H-AS1 were recovered a little (Fig. 4B). Additionally, as presented in Fig. 4C and D, results from MTT and colony formation revealed that the growth-inhibition effect mediated by silenced FAM83H-AS1 could be reversed by the addition of Jagged-1/Fc. These findings revealed that the function of FAM83H-AS1 exerted in CRC was at least partially mediated by Notch signal pathway.
The effect of FAM83H-AS1 on CRC cells was dependent on Notch pathway
To determine whether Notch signal pathway was essential for FAM83H-AS, we applied N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-L-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl ester (DAPT), a widely used γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) which could effectively repress the expression of receptors and ligands in Notch signaling pathway, to inhibit Notch-1 expression in our study and then we measured the effect of FAM83H-AS1 knockdown on cell proliferation. As presented in Fig. 5A, after cells were treated with DAPT, the level of Notch-1 was significantly reduced. Subsequently, we observed how the expression level of FAM83H-AS1 responded to the silenced Notch1 by DAPT, and discovered that silenced Notch1 resulted in the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1 (Fig. 5B). Then we performed MTT assays and found that after Notch-1 was suppressed, the effect induced by the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1 was vanished (Fig. 5C). Our results indicated that FAM83H-AS1 worked through the Notch pathway.
Discussion
lncRNAs, a class of RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides with limited or no protein-coding ability, have attracting more and more attention of researchers. Currently, accumulating lncRNAs have been identified in different biological processes, in which they act as critical regulators in both physiology and pathology, including tumorigenesis. Idogawa et al (26) reported that lncRNA NEAT1 was a transcriptional target of p53 and modulated p53-induced transactivation and tumor-suppressor function. Zhao et al (27) revealed that SNHG5/miR-32 axis regulated cell proliferation and migration of gastric cancer by targeting KLF4. Malakar et al (28) demonstrated that long noncoding RNA MALAT1 promoted hepatocellular carcinoma development by upregulating SRSF1 and activating mTOR. As for CRC, plenty well-studied lncRNAs have been reported to be dysregulated in CRC tissues and participate in CRC progression via multiple mechanisms (29–31). FAM83H-AS1 has been identified to play critical roles in lung cancer and breast cancer (19,20). However, its biological function in CRC has not been studied.
In our present study, we demonstrated for the first time that lncRNA FAM83H-AS1 was upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. Further functional studies revealed that silenced FAM83H-AS1 could inhibit cell proliferation and migration through inducing more apoptosis. Furthermore, concomitant upregulation of two Notch signaling molecules, Notch1 and Hes1, was obtained in both CRC tissues and cell lines, indicating the potential mechanism of FAM83H-AS1/Notch signal pathway in CRC. Notch signaling pathway has been reported to involve in the tumorigenesis of various cancer types (23,32,33). In our study, we showed the accompanied activation of Notch signaling in CRC tissues and cells and rescue assays revealed that the growth inhibition mediated by the knockdown of FAM83H-AS1 was at least in a Notch signal dependent manner, which was further confirmed by the effect of DAPT on Notch1 and FAM83H-AS1 as well as the unchanged cell proliferation after Notch1 was silenced by DAPT. All in all, despite the fact that we have made progress in studying the initiation and development of CRC to some extent, our research just takes a little part in the mechanisms of the tumorigenesis of CRC. Therefore, this paper has not been involved in the study about the fact that cadmium prolonged exposure involved malignant progression of A549 cells. And as for the situation above, we will put much more attention in the future study upon the research that whether the hot spicy eating habit of people in Sichuan is related to the tumorigenesis of CRC.
In conclusion, FAM83H-AS1 was demonstrated to be upregulated in both CRC tissues and cell lines, wherein acting as an oncogene via activating Notch signaling. Due to the complicated cross talk of Notch signaling with various tumorigenesis regulators, still many studies need to be made to further investigate the Notch1-mediated mechanism under FAM83H-AS1 dysfunction, for exploring the potential therapeutic value of FAM83H-AS1 in treating CRC.
