Abstract

Sorafenib is currently the only systemic agent approved for treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance to sorafenib remains a great challenge with respect to improving the prognoses of patients with HCC. The cyto-protective functions of autophagy have been suggested as a potential mechanism by which chemoresistance or targeted drug resistance occurs in tumour cells. In the present study, miR-142-3p was identified as a novel autophagy-regulating microRNA (miRNA) that plays a vital role in sorafenib resistance in HCC cells. Gain- and loss-of-function assays revealed that ectopic miR-142-3p upregulation sensitized HCC cells to sorafenib by reducing sorafenib-induced autophagy, enhancing sorafenib-induced apoptosis and inhibiting cell growth, whereas miR-142-3p inhibition exerted contrasting effects. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter and rescue assays showed that autophagy-related 5 (ATG5) and autophagy-related 16-like 1 (ATG16L1) are potential targets through which miR-142-3p regulates autophagy inhibition. Furthermore, we verified that PU.1 regulated the expression of miR-142-3p in conjunction with our cellular experiments and the related results in the literatur...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

ATG proteins

The discovery of autophagy-related ('ATG') proteins in the 1990s greatly advanced the mechanistic understanding of autophagy and clarified the fact that autophagy serves important roles in various biological processes.
