Study Notes
Genes and Lung cancer
- RASSF1A and SHOX2 genes are frequently used to identify DNA methylation in lung cancer.
- HOX genes are a group of transcription factors that share a homeodomain.
- Four HOX clusters exist (HOXA-D) on distinct chromosomes.
- The 3′ regions of HOXA and HOXB are primarily expressed in normal adult lung tissue.
- HOXC and D are usually expressed in conditions like primary pulmonary hypertension, NSCLC and fetal lungs.
- The HOXA cluster is often methylated in NSCLC, and methylation of HOXA5 and HOXA11 promoters silences them, inhibiting their role in controlling tumor growth.
HOX and Lung Cancer
- Inhibiting HOX activity in vivo can reduce tumor development which suggests HOX genes promote tumor growth.
- HOX genes may be involved in both tumor suppression and oncogenesis in NSCLC.
- CDKN2A hypermethylation has been seen in pre-cancerous lesions, indicating its role in the early development of lung malignancies.
- Stage I NSCLC is linked to methylation of promoter regions in APC, RASSF1A, ABCB1, ESR1, HOXC9 and MT1G.
- CGI methylation of HOX-related genes is prevalent in early staged LC.
- Advanced-stage NSCLC is associated with frequently hypermethylated genes like H-Cadherin, hDAB2IP, FBN2, and DAL-1.
DNA Methylation and Lung Cancer
- DNAm alterations at cg03636183 in F2RL3 gene and at cg05575921 in AHRR gene were linked to an increased LC risk.
- These changes were also linked to mediation analyses which suggest hypomethylation at these sites may mediate the effect of tobacco on LC risk.
- DNA methylation may be a better indicator than mutation detection for lung cancer.
LncRNAs in Lung Cancer
- Several lncRNAs are related to NSCLC initiation and progression, including CASC2, CASC9.5, XIST, and MEG3.
- These lncRNAs can function as tumor suppressors or oncogenes.
- Their expression levels may be used as potential therapeutic targets for NSCLC and diagnostic markers.
M^6^A and m^5^C modifications
- Posttranscriptional RNA modifications, such as m^6^A and m^5^C, are crucial for controlling RNA activities.
- These modifications affect mRNA stability, splicing, translation efficiency and other functions.
- They are dynamically controlled by specific enzymes.
- A predictive risk model for m^6^A and m^5^C changes can be used to assess and treat patients with early-stage lung cancer.
Xist
- XIST is significantly overexpressed in NSCLC tissues and cell lines.
- XIST can promote cell migration, invasion, and proliferation by epigenetically suppressing KLF2.
- KLF2 is down-regulated in various cancers with tumor-suppressive characteristics due to its inhibitory effects on cell proliferation expression in NSCLC cells.
- XIST knockdown suppressed tumor development in vivo and decreased NSCLC invasion and proliferation in vitro.
- miR-186-5p inhibited XIST's carcinogenic properties in NSCLC cells.
- Elevated levels of XIST and HIF1A-AS1 were observed in the serum and tumor tissues compared to the control group.
- Higher positive diagnosis rate of NSCLC was observed when combining serum XIST and HIF1A-AS1 than with either biomarker alone.
- Elevated serum levels of HIF1A-AS1 and XIST may be used as a predictive screening biomarker in NSCLC cases.
- XIST may act as a diagnostic marker for NSCLC due to its high expression in NSCLC tissues and serum.
Xist and DDP Resistance
- XIST increases proliferation and mediates DDP resistance in NSCLC by lowering the nuclear transfer of SMAD2.
- This inhibits pyroptosis and apoptosis by preventing the transcription of NLRP3 and p53 respectively.
- This suggests that XIST may be a target for preventing DDP resistance in NSCLC and possibly other types of tumors.
