Background Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a common oncogene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors. This research aims to explore the function of YBX1, miR-148a-3p and Runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3) in NSCLC development, and analyze their interactions. Methods YBX1, miR-148a-3p and Runx3 levels were detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), Western blotting or immunohistochemical staining. The functions of YBX1, miR-148a-3p and Runx3 were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), colony formation, wound healing, transwell, flow cytometry, xenograft model and Western blotting analyses. The binding correlation was validated through dual-luciferase reporter analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Results YBX1 expression was upregulated, and miR-148a-3p and Runx3 levels were reduced in NSCLC samples and cell lines. YBX1 silence restrained NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth, and enhanced apoptosis. YBX1 was targeted via miR-148a-3p. MiR-148a-3p knockdown promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth, and repressed apoptosis, and these effects were abolished by YBX1 silence. Runx3 upregulation restrained cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth, and facilitated apoptosis. Runx3 bound with miR-148a-3p promotor to regulate miR-148a-3p expression. Runx3 silence modulated YBX1 expression though miR-148a-3p to promote NSCLC progression by increasing Cyclin D1, Cyclin B1, Slug-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels. Conclusion Runx3-miR-148a-3p axis targeted YBX1 to modulate NSCLC progression.

Accumulating evidence indicates that maternal exposure to carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) during gestation can induce multiple system abnormalities in offspring, whereas its potential mechanism in respiratory disease is still largely unknown. In order to explore the effect of maternal exposure to CBNPs on offspring’s lung and latent pathogenesis, we respectively established in vivo model of pregnant rats exposed to CBNPs and ex vivo model of lung epithelial cells treated with pups’ serum of pregnant rats exposed to CBNPs. After maternal exposure to CBNPs, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis levels increased as a result of DDRGK1-mediated reticulophagy upregulated in offspring’s lung. DDRGK1 as FAM134B’s cargo bound with FAM134B to mediate reticulophagy. Transcription factor “SP1” positively regulated DDRGK1 gene expression by binding to its promoter. Furthermore, the upregulation of NSUN2 elevated m 5 C methylation of SP1 mRNA and the protein level of SP1 subsequently increased through Ybx1 recognizing and stabilizing m 5 C-methylated SP1 mRNA, followed by the increased levels of reticulophagy and fibrosis in lung epithelial cells treated with offspring’s serum of matrix exposed to CBNPs during gestation. In conclusion, NSUN2/Ybx1/m 5 C-SP1 axis promoted DDRGK1-mediated reticulophagy, which played an important role in EMT-induced fibrosis in offspring’s lung tissue after maternal exposure to CBNPs during gestation.

Background: RUNX2 (Runt-related transcription factor 2) acts as a key regulator in the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Moreover, the inclusion of exon 5 is important for RUNX2 function. Our previous study showed that Y-Box Binding Protein 1 (YBX1) promoted RUNX2 exon 5 inclusion and mineralization of hDPSCs. However, the regulatory mechanism of RUNX2 exon 5 alternative splicing needed further exploration. Methods: The expression level of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) during the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The roles of hnRNP A1 in the alternative splicing of RUNX2 exon 5 and the odontogenic differentiation of dental mesenchymal cells were analyzed by gain- and loss-of-function experiments. Results: Surprisingly, we found an alternative splicing factor, hnRNP A1, which had an opposite role to YBX1 in regulating RUNX2 exon 5 inclusion and odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Through gain- and loss-of-function assay, we found that hnRNP A1 suppressed the inclusion of RUNX2 exon 5, resulting in the inhibition of odontoblastic differentiation. The overexpression of hnRNP A1 can inhibit the expression of ALP (alkaline phosphatase) and OCN (osteocalcin), and the formation of mineralized nodules during the odontogenic differentiation of both hDPSCs and mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs), whereas the opposite results were obtained with an hnRNP A1 knockdown preparation. Conclusions: The present study indicated that hnRNP A1 suppressed RUNX2 exon 5 inclusion and reduced the odontogenic differentiation ability of hDPSCs and mDPCs.
