長鏈非編碼核醣核酸 (long non-coding RNA, lncRNA)發現 lncRNA 在生物體調控基因表現的過程中扮演了極重要的角色。而在近年的研究中,除了對於lncRNA在一般生理功能上的探討之外,許多文獻也指出,lncRNA 會影響調控腫瘤形成的過程。其中一個例子就是 UCA1這段 lncRNA的異常表現,在許多常見的癌症如膀胱癌、大腸癌、胃癌、肺癌及乳癌等等的癌症細胞的發展過程中,都能發現 UCA1 這段基因異常的表現。而先前的實驗已經發現,在下咽癌中的 UCA1 表現量較正常組織來得高。不僅如此,高表現的 UCA1 也與下咽癌的進程與生存率的降低有著顯著性的正相關。然而,UCA1 在下咽癌中所調控的分子機制目前仍是不清楚的。下咽是指介於會厭軟骨上緣至環狀軟骨下緣的這一段咽部區域。 上與口咽相接,下與食道相連,下咽的前方是喉部。在下咽部所誘發的癌變則稱為下咽癌。由於下咽癌的早期症狀並不明顯,所以大多患者就醫的時候已經是癌症的晚期了。雖然有些病患在治療後可以存活,但這些病患還是有很大的機率會復發,或是有頸部淋巴結及遠端的轉移。因此下咽癌在頭頸部癌中有最差的預後。藉由我們的研究結果發現,當 UCA1 在下咽癌細胞株中被過度表達時會促進細胞爬行及侵襲的能力,卻同時降低了細胞增生的能力。藉由蛋白質電泳分析,我們發現當細胞增加爬行與侵襲能力的同時也伴隨著部分上皮細胞間質轉化的活化。另外,異種移植的腫瘤生成實驗也證實了 UCA1抑制腫瘤細胞增生的能力。不僅如此,除了發現存在於細胞培養液中的 UCA1 在細胞的爬行上扮演了相同的促進角色外,我們也得知在下咽癌的細胞中,UCA1 主要表現於核內。而如今我們正利用 RNA pull down assay 與質譜儀分析來尋找 UCA1 在下咽癌中的作用蛋白,好使我們更進一步了解 UCA1 在下咽癌中的作用機制。透過我們的研究,我們希望可以真實 UCA1 可以成為下咽癌中的治療標的。
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a multifunctional regulator of gene expression and plays a vital role in various biological processes. Several of them were shown to mediate tumorigenesis. Urothelial cancer-associated 1 (UCA1) is one of the lncRNAs found to be deregulated in the development of several cancer types, including those in bladder, colon, stomach, lung and breast. One previous study showed an upregulation of UCA1 expression profile in hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) tissues relative to their adjacent normal counterparts and its association with disease progression and reduced survival among these cancer patients. However, the molecular mechanism whereby UCA1 functions in HPC, a subtype of head and neck cancer, remains unclear. HPC is a disease in which malignant cells developed from hypopharynx locating at the bottom part of the pharynx. Although some of the patients survive under curative treatment, they are still prone to have the disease relapse or metastatic spread. Through the in vitro and in vivo studies, we found that ectopic UCA1 expression increased cell migration and invasion while decreasing cell proliferation. The increase of migration and invasion was also accompanied with partial epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). By contrast, UCA1 depletion had the opposite effect. Xenograft tumorigenesis also supported an inhibitory role of UCA1 in primary tumor growth. Despite the presence of UCA1 in the CM and a stimulatory effect of conditioned medium (CM) derived from UCA1-OE cells on cell migration and invasion, we found a predominant nuclear localization of UCA1 in HPC cells. We are in the process of performing RNA pull down assay and mass spectrometry for analyzing nuclear UCA1 interactome. Through this study, we would like to validate if UCA1 can be used as a novel therapeutic target against HPC.
