This study elucidated the role of TRPM7-mediated HOTAIR as a miRNA sponge to target downstream FOSL1 oncogene and therefore contribute to gliomagenesis.
Glioblastoma, one of the most fatal brain tumors, is associated with a dismal prognosis and an extremely short overall survival. We previously reported that the overexpressed transient receptor potential channel TRPM7 is an essential glioblastoma regulator. Accumulating evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in glioma's initiation and progression. However, the function of lncRNA, HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) mediated by TRPM7 in glioma remains unclear. In this study, HOTAIR expression was found to be positively regulated by TRPM7, significantly upregulated in glioma tissues, and is a poor prognosis factor for glioma patients. Moreover, reduced HOTAIR expression impeded the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells. Mechanistically, HOTAIR directly interacted with miR-301a-3p, and downregulation of miR-301a3p efficiently reversed FOSL1 suppression induced by siRNA HOTAIR, which implied that HOTAIR positively regulated FOSL1 level through sponging miR-301a-3p and played an oncogenic role in glioma progression. In contrast to HOTAIR's role, miR-301a-3p alone served as a tumor suppressor to decrease glioma cell viability and migration/invasion. In agreement with HOTAIR's role, FOSL1 functioned as a tumorigenic gene in glioma pathogenesis, which was highly expressed in glioma tissues, and was shown to be an unfavorable prognostic factor for glioma patients. Mechanically, FOSL1 inhibition by siRNA FOSL1 efficiently rescued the oncogenic-like phenotypes caused by the miR-301a-3p inhibitor in glioma pathogenesis. Significance: Our study elucidated the role of TRPM7-mediated HOTAIR as a miRNA sponge to target downstream FOSL1 oncogene and therefore consequently contribute to gliomagenesis, which shed new light on TRPM7/ lncRNA-directed diagnostic and therapeutic approach in glioma.
