c Scheme, proposed mechanism of miR-4443 -mediated signaling downstream of leptin and insulin Using three CRC-derived lines as a cellular mo del, we have identified a signaling pathway that integrates insulin and leptin signaling in the activation of MEK1/2 and leads to up-regulation of miR-4443, which in turn down-regulates NCOA1 and TRAF4, possibly causing tumor suppression and decreased cell invasion.
[score:9]
To assess if MEK1/2 indeed regulate miR-4443 downstream of leptin and insulin signaling, HCT-116 cells were pre-incubated for 45 min with or without a MEK inhibitor, PD-98059 (10 μM), before being exposed to leptin (100 ng/ml) or insulin (20 ng/ml) for 24 h. The inhibitor attenuated the leptin -induced up-regulation of miR-4443 (Fig. 4a).
[score:9]
Fig. 3Leptin and insulin exposure and overexpression of miR-4443 down-regulate the miR-4443 targets, NCOA1 and TRAF4, in HCT-116 cells.
[score:8]
Since miR-4443 was up-regulated following both leptin and insulin treatment, we hypothesized that its promoter or enhancer regions may contain the CCAAT motif, which binds transcription factors from the CCAAT-enhancer -binding proteins (C/EBP) family, that act downstream of MEK1/2 in leptin and insulin signaling [3, 40– 43] and were previously described as up-regulated by both insulin and leptin [44, 45].
[score:7]
Overexpression of miR-4443 also significantly decreased the proliferation of HCT-116 cells (Fig. 2e), implying that miR-4443 may act as a tumor suppressor via its downstream targets.
[score:7]
Leptin and insulin exposure and miR-4443 overexpression down-regulate NCOA1 and TRAF4 in HCT-116 cells.
[score:6]
Exposure to leptin (at 100 ng/ml for 24 h), as well as overexpression of miR-4443 in HCT-116 cells (24 h post-transfection) resulted in significant (p < 0.05) down-regulation of endogenous NCOA1 and TRAF4 on the mRNA and protein levels (Fig. 3a– d).
[score:6]
The up-regulation of miR-4443 by leptin and insulin is attenuated by the inhibition of MEK1/2.
[score:6]
Our findings suggest that miR-4443 acts in a tumor-suppressive manner by down -regulating TRAF4 and NCOA1 downstream of MEK-C/EBP -mediated leptin and insulin signaling, and that insulin and/or leptin resistance (e. g. in obesity) may suppress this pathway and increase the risk of metastatic CRC.
[score:6]
Of ~800 miRNAs profiled, miR-4443 was consistently up-regulated by leptin and insulin in HCT-116 and HT-29, but not in DLD-1, which lacked normal leptin receptor expression.
[score:6]
Moreover, leptin and miR-4443 transfection significantly down-regulated endogenous NCOA1 and TRAF4, both predicted targets of miR-4443 with known roles in cancer metastasis.
[score:6]
The up-regulation of miR-4443 by leptin or insulin was attenuated by the inhibition of MEK1/2.

a– b for miR-4443 (a), or human NCOA1 and TRAF4 mRNAs (b), in HCT-116 cells, pre-incubated for 45 min, with or without a MEK inhibitor, PD-98059, an inhibitor of MEK activity (dissolved in DMSO) (10 μM), before being exposed to leptin (100 ng/ml) or insulin (20 ng/ml) for 24 h. Controls included the appropriate concentration of DMSO (less than 0.1 %), PD alone and leptin or insulin alone.

To identify possible cancer-relevant targets of miR-4443, the TargetScan algorithm [9, 24] was used.
[score:5]
c Scheme, proposed mechanism of miR-4443 -mediated signaling downstream of leptin and insulin To check the effects of leptin and insulin exposure on the expression levels of a wide cross-section of miRNAs, we profiled miRNA levels in the CRC-derived cell lines HCT-116, HT-29 and DLD-1 that had been treated with leptin or insulin (at 200 ng/ml) for 24 h, using the Nanostring nCounter probe array platform (clustered heat map for leptin -induced changes, Additional file 2: Figure S1; all expression data, Additional file 3: Table S2).
[score:5]
Dose response experiments showed that leptin at 100 ng/ml consistently up-regulated miR-4443 in HCT-116 cells, concomitantly with a significant decrease in cell invasion ability.
[score:4]
Thus, miR-4443 was up-regulated by insulin in all three lines, and by leptin in HCT-116 and HT-29, but not in DLD-1 (miR-4443 marked in black, in Fig. 1d– g).
[score:4]
*: p < 0.05; **: P < 0.01; t-test; bars: SE, n = 6 To check if miR-4443 directly targets the 3′UTR region of NCOA1 and TRAF4 mRNAs, HCT-116 cells were co -transfected with miR-4443 mimic (or control oligos) and a secreted dual-reporter encoding vector, with or without the relevant 3′UTR (SecretePair from Genecopoeia).
[score:4]
Indeed, our results show that one of the lines (DLD-1) exhibited abnormal expression of LEPR, and in agreement with our proposed regulatory pathway, miR-4443 was not significantly affected by leptin treatment in this line.
[score:4]
This in- silico analysis suggests that miR-4443 is regulated by the MEK1/2 – C/EBP pathway downstream of both the insulin and leptin receptors, providing a possible explanation for the similar effects of exposure to insulin and leptin on miR-4443 and its downstream targets.
[score:4]
NCOA1, TRAF4 are direct targets of miR-4443.
[score:4]
In a dose-response experiment, leptin treatment at 100 ng/ml was found to up-regulate miR-4443 reproducibly as well as significantly (p < 0.05) (Fig. 2b).
[score:4]
We also established that 20 ng/nl insulin was sufficient to cause the up-regulation of miR-4443 (data not shown).
[score:4]
Leptin and insulin up-regulate miR-4443 in CRC-derived cell lines; the effect of leptin on miR-4443 is LEPR -dependent.
[score:4]
miR-4443, which showed robust up-regulation by leptin in both the Nanostring profiling and the qRT-PCR validation, was chosen as a candidate for further study.

[score:3]
Here, we show that a specific miRNA, miR-4443, responds to leptin and insulin treatment in CRC-derived cells and that its impaired regulation may contribute to deregulation of downstream signaling, increased cancer metastasis and worse prognosis in a state of leptin resistance.
[score:3]
These results support the notion that miR-4443 is regulated by the MEK1/2 – C/EBP pathway downstream of both the insulin and leptin receptors, although it is impossible to discount other, miR-4443-independent signaling pathways that could affect the levels of NCOA1 and TRAF4 downstream of these receptors.
