1939PNeat-1: Culprit lnRNA tying PIG-C, MSLN, CD80 in TNBC

Abstract Background Continuous effort unraveled GPI pathway that anchors cell surface proteins mediating tumor microenvironment interactions. GPI axis is initiated in breast cancer upon PIG-C elevation which induces MSLN surface expession. MSLN is anti-apoptotic GPI-AP, whose immune therapies yielded tremendous results. CD80 is a unique immunomodulator that binds to CD28, CTLA4 and PDL1. Recombinant GPI-CD80 is evaluated as tumor vaccine. RNAi is a promising tool for immuno-targeted therapy as crucial immuno modulators are blocked. Our aim is to investigate impact of nc-RNAs on MSLN, PIG-C and CD80 for the first time. Methods miR-2355, miR-455 and NEAT-1 targeted MSLN, PIG-C and CD80 by bioinformatic analysis. MSLN/CD80 plasmids were transfected in MDA-MB-231 cells, then treated with synthetic nc-RNAs. Surface CD80 and MSLN were assessed by flow cytometry.Gene mRNA level was tested by q-PCR. Results PIG-C Silencing, NEAT-1 and miR-2355 elevation, plus NEAT-1/miR-2355 combination droped PIG-C mRNA level signtificantly (p  Conclusions To sum up, our study sheds light on new targets for breast cancer immunotherapy. NEAT-1 is dominant promising sponge for several mi-RNAs which potientiates its role in governing many immunomoduolatory pathways. Our study paves the way for future investigations on the role of NEAT-1 in immuno-targeted therapy. Legal entity responsible for the study The authors. Funding Has not received any funding.
