    Disruption of miRNA-mRNA Networks Defines Novel Molecular Signatures for Penile Carcinogenesis
    (2021) FURUYA, Tatiane Katsue; MURTA, Claudio Bovolenta; CARRASCO, Alexis German Murillo; UNO, Miyuki; SICHERO, Laura; VILLA, Luisa Lina; CARDILLI, Leonardo; COELHO, Rafael Ferreira; GUGLIELMETTI, Giuliano Betoni; CORDEIRO, Mauricio Dener; LEITE, Katia Ramos Moreira; NAHAS, William Carlos; CHAMMAS, Roger; JR, Jose Pontes
    Simple Summary: As there are still no biomarkers reported in clinical practice in penile cancer (PeC), we aimed to investigate and validate molecular signatures based on miRNA and mRNA profiles to identify molecular drivers and pathways involved in PeC tumorigenesis. We found eight DEmiRs and 37 DEGs comparing tumoral tissues (TT) paired with non-neoplastic tissues (NNT) of PeC patients. Four downregulated DEmiRs (miR-30a-5p, miR-432-5p, miR-487b-3p, and miR-145-5p) and six upregulated DEGs (IL1A, MCM2, MMP1, MMP12, SFN and VEGFA) were identified as potential biomarkers in PeC by their capacity of discriminating TT and NNT with accuracy. Furthermore, we performed an analysis of miRNA-mRNA interaction and found disruption in the dynamics of the regulation of eight pairs during tumor development that have never been described in PeC. Taken together, our findings contribute to a better understanding of the regulatory roles of miRNAs and altered transcripts levels in penile carcinogenesis. Penile cancer (PeC) carcinogenesis is not fully understood, and no biomarkers are reported in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate molecular signatures based on miRNA and mRNA and perform an integrative analysis to identify molecular drivers and pathways for PeC development. Affymetrix miRNA microarray was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) comparing 11 tumoral tissues (TT) paired with non-neoplastic tissues (NNT) with further validation in an independent cohort (n = 13). We also investigated the mRNA expression of 83 genes in the total sample. Experimentally validated targets of DEmiRs, miRNA-mRNA networks, and enriched pathways were evaluated in silico. Eight out of 69 DEmiRs identified by microarray analysis were validated by qRT-PCR (miR-145-5p, miR-432-5p, miR-487b-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-200a-5p, miR-224-5p, miR-31-3p and miR-31-5p). Furthermore, 37 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified when comparing TT and NNT. We identified four downregulated DEmiRs (miR-30a-5p, miR-432-5p, miR-487b-3p, and miR-145-5p) and six upregulated DEGs (IL1A, MCM2, MMP1, MMP12, SFN and VEGFA) as potential biomarkers in PeC by their capacity of discriminating TT and NNT with accuracy. The integration analysis showed eight dysregulated miRNA-mRNA pairs in penile carcinogenesis. Taken together, our findings contribute to a better understanding of the regulatory roles of miRNAs and altered transcripts levels in penile carcinogenesis.

    Simultaneous silencing of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases 1-4 by nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs) improves radiation response of melanoma cells
    (2021) SAITO, Renata F.; RANGEL, Maria Cristina; HALMAN, Justin R.; CHANDLER, Morgan; ANDRADE, Luciana Nogueira de Sousa; ODETE-BUSTOS, Silvina; FURUYA, Tatiane Katsue; CARRASCO, Alexis German Murillo; CHAVES-FILHO, Adriano B.; YOSHINAGA, Marcos Y.; MIYAMOTO, Sayuri; AFONIN, Kirill A.; CHAMMAS, Roger
    Radiation induces the generation of platelet-activating factor receptor (PAF-R) ligands, including PAF and oxidized phospholipids. Alternatively, PAF is also synthesized by the biosynthetic enzymes lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases (LPCATs) which are expressed by tumor cells including melanoma. The activation of PAF-R by PAF and oxidized lipids triggers a survival response protecting tumor cells from radiation-induced cell death, suggesting the involvement of the PAF/PAF-R axis in radioresistance. Here, we investigated the role of LPCATs in the melanoma cell radiotherapy response. LPCAT is a family of four enzymes, LPCAT1-4, and modular nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs) allowed for the simultaneous silencing of all four LPCATs. We found that the in vitro simultaneous silencing of all four LPCAT transcripts by NANPs enhanced the therapeutic effects of radiation in melanoma cells by increasing cell death, reducing long-term cell survival, and activating apoptosis. Thus, we propose that NANPs are an effective strategy for improving radiotherapy efficacy in melanomas.
