MicroRNA-145 targets the metalloprotease ADAM17 and is suppressed in renal cell carcinoma patients

Kai Doberstein et al. Neoplasia. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a metalloprotease that is overexpressed in many cancer types, including renal cancers. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ADAM17 in cancer development and progression are poorly understood. In the present work, we provide evidence using overexpression and inhibition of microRNA 145 (miR-145) that miR-145 negatively regulates ADAM17 expression. Furthermore, we show that ADAM17 negatively regulates miR-145 through tumor necrosis factor-α, resulting in a reciprocal negative feedback loop. In this study, the expression of ADAM17 and miR-145 correlated negatively in renal cancer tumor tissues and cell lines, suggesting an important regulatory mechanism. Additionally, we showed that the regulation of ADAM17 is partly involved in the effects of miR-145 on proliferation and migration, whereas no involvement in chemosensitivity was observed. Importantly, in the healthy kidney, miR-145 was detected in different cell types including tubular cells, which are considered the origin of renal cancer. In renal cancer cell lines, miR-145 expression was strongly suppressed by methylation. In summary, miR-145 is downregulated in renal cancer patients, which leads to the up-regulation of ADAM17 in renal cancer. Importantly, miR-145 and ADAM17 are regulated in a reciprocal negative feedback loop.

Reciprocal negative feedback loop of miR-145 and ADAM17 is transmitted through TNF-α. (A) Endogenous expression of miR-145 in normal kidney cells leads to the down-regulation of ADAM17 expression. As a consequence, less substrates are released by ADAM17, leading to an even higher expression of miR-145. As a result, ADAM17 is weakly expressed, whereas the miR-145 expression is high. (B) miR-145 expression is suppressed in renal cancer cells by an initial event, like promoter methylation. This leads to an up-regulation of ADAM17 expression, resulting in an increase of ADAM17-mediated cleavage of substrates like TNF-α. The released substrates then further suppress the expression of miR-145, leading to a reciprocal negative feedback loop. As a result, ADAM17 expression is elevated in renal cancer patients, whereas miR-145 is downregulated.
