The MITF-SOX10 regulated long non-coding RNA DIRC3 is a melanoma tumour suppressor

Abstract: The MITF and SOX10 transcription factors regulate the expression of genes important for melanoma proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Despite growing evidence of the contribution of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer, including melanoma, their functions within MITF-SOX10 transcriptional programmes remain poorly investigated. Here we identified 245 candidate melanoma associated lncRNAs whose loci are co-occupied by MITF-SOX10 and that are enriched at active enhancer-like regions. We characterise the fun… Show more

“…14 By contrast, our data support PRE2 acting as a powerful enhancer element with the deletion allele increasing expression of IGFBP5 over and above that of the insertion allele with or without estradiol stimulation. Overall, our data are consistent with a hypothetical model in which the juxtaposition of the two ERa, FOXA1, GATA3 binding sites at PRE2 by deletion of approximately 1.4 kb of intervening sequence generates a single extended binding region (Figure 5B) that is causally associated with increased enhancer activity, higher levels of expression of the putative tumor suppressor gene IGFBP5, 42 and a reduction in breast cancer risk (OR ¼ 0.77, p ¼ 2.2 3 10 À29 ) that is largely restricted to ER þ disease.…”

“…DIRC3 was described as a nuclear regulatory lncRNA that activated the expression of the neighboring IGFBP5 tumor suppressor gene. DIRC3 loss-of-function in three BRAF-mutant CM cell lines led to increased anchorage-independent growth, and SOX10 occupancy at putative regulatory elements within the DIRC3 locus [100]. Furthermore, DIRC3 depletion enhanced SOX10 mediated repression of IGFBP5 [100], which negatively regulated MAPK kinase signaling to inhibit BRAF-mutant A375 cell proliferation and metastasis [101].…”
