MiR-7 reduces the BCSC subset by inhibiting XIST to modulate the miR-92b/Slug/ESA axis and inhibit tumor growth.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are typically seed cells of breast tumor that initiate and maintain tumor growth. MiR-7, as a cancer inhibitor, decreases the BCSC subset and inhibits tumor progression through mechanisms that remain unknown. METHODS:We examined miR-7 expression in breast cancer and developed a BCSC-driven xenograft mouse model, to evaluate the effects of miR-7 overexpression on the decrease of the BCSC subset in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we determined how miR-7 decreased the BCSC subset by using the ALDEFLUOR, lentivirus infection, dual-luciferase reporter, and chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR assays. RESULTS:MiR-7 was expressed at low levels in breast cancer tissues compared with normal tissues, and overexpression of miR-7 directly inhibited lncRNA XIST, which mediates the transcriptional silencing of genes on the X chromosome, and reduced epithelium-specific antigen (ESA) expression by increasing miR-92b and inhibiting slug. Moreover, miR-7 suppressed CD44 and ESA by directly inhibiting the NF-κB subunit RELA and slug in breast cancer cell lines and in BCSC-driven xenografts, which confirmed the antitumor activity in mice injected with miR-7 agomir or stably infected with lenti-miR-7. CONCLUSIONS:The findings from this study uncover the molecular mechanisms by which miR-7 inhibits XIST, modulates the miR-92b/Slug/ESA axis, and decreases the RELA and CD44 expression, resulting in a reduced BCSC subset and breast cancer growth inhibition. These findings suggest a potentially targeted treatment approach to breast cancer.
