Calcium binding proteins (CBP) are a group of proteins mediating the effects of calcium on cellular functions. These proteins can regulate calcium levels inside the cells and contribute in several cellular functions through transporting this ion across cell membranes or decoding related signals. Recent studies have shown that several non-coding RNAs interact with CBPs to affect their expression or activity. The interactions between these transcripts and CBPs have implications in the pathoetiology of human disorders, including both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions. In the current review, we describe the interactions between three classes of non-coding RNAs (long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and microRNAs) and a number of CBPs, particularly CAB39, S100A1, S100A4, S100A7 and S100P. This kind of interaction has been verified in different pathological contexts such as drug-induced cardiotoxicity, osteoblasts cytotoxicity, acute lung injury, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, glomerulonephritis, as well as a wide array of neoplastic conditions.

Introduction

Calcium is an important second messenger in cells whose effects are largely dependent on a number of diverse proteins, being named as calcium binding proteins (CBP), accordingly. These proteins can bind this ion in their certain domains. CBPs can regulate calcium levels inside the cells and contribute in several cellular functions through transporting this ion across cell membranes or decoding related signals (1). Based on the presence of the structural EF-hand domain, intracellular CBPs can be classified into two main classes, i.e., those containing this domain and those lacking this domain. Parvalbumin, calmodulin, S100 proteins and calcineurin are examples of the former class, while calreticulin, calsequestrin, annexins, protein kinase C (PKC) and sinaptotagmin are examples of the latter (1). Extracellular CBP has six main classes, based on the presence of EF-hand, EGF-like, γ-carboxyl glutamic acid (GLA)-rich, cadherin, and calcium-dependent (C)-type lectin-like domains or calcium binding pockets of family C G-protein-coupled receptors (1). Extracellular CBPs are incessantly surrounded by a concentration of 10−3M calcium which contributes in the activation or stabilization of specific enzymes acting as protease, nuclease, or lipase. On the other hand, intracellular CBPs, which act as muscle contraction, respond to an upsurge in calcium concentrations from 10−7 to 10−6M (2). Recent studies have shown that several non-coding RNAs interact with CBPs to affect their expression or activity. The interactions between these transcripts and CBPs have implications in the pathoetiology of human disorders, including both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions. In the current review, we describe the interactions between three classes of non-coding RNAs (long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs [circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs)] and CBPs.

Non-Coding RNAs and CAB39

Calcium-binding protein 39 (CAB39) is functionally associated with the Serine/Threonine Kinase STK11 and STRAD (3). This protein also promotes the construction of STK11/STRAD complexes and induces catalytic activity of STK11 (3). This protein has been found to affect the process of doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury. Experiments in an animal model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity have shown up-regulation of miR-451 levels. Suppression of miR-451 expression has reduced doxorubicin-associated whole-body wasting and cardiac atrophy, decreased heart damage, amended heart function, and enhanced contractile function of cardiomyocytes. Functionally, miR-451 suppression has led to enhancement of Cab39 levels and induced activity of AMPK signaling (Figure 1). Thus, Cab39 has been identified as the target of miR-451 through which this miRNA affects cardiac toxicity (4). Another study to find the mechanism of osteoblast cytoprotection has reported miR-107 as a CAB39-targeting miRNA. Functional experiments in OB-6 human osteoblastic cells have shown direct binding of this miRNA with CAB39 mRNA. Both wild-type miR-107 mimics and pre-miR-107-containing lentiviruses could inhibit CAB39 expression in osteoblasts. On the other hand, miR-107 antagonism could increase CAB39 expression, leading to activation of AMPK cascade. Suppression of miR-107 has significantly decreased dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in OB-6 cells and human osteoblasts. Moreover, antagomiR-107 could activate AMPK downstream Nrf2 cascade to suppress dexamethasone-associated oxidative injury (5). The interaction between miRNAs and CAB39 has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury. The CAB39-interacting miR-31-5p has been shown to be up-regulated in mice lung tissues upon injection of lipopolysaccharide. miR-31-5p silencing has relieved, while miR-31-5p mimic has aggravated lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses, oxidative injury, and pulmonary injury in vivo and in vitro. Functionally, miR-31-5p silencing has induced protective impact of AMPKα. In fact, Cab39 has an essential role in activation of AMPKα and protective effects of miR-31-5p antagomir (6). The interaction between miRNAs and CAB39 has an important role in the pathogenesis of cancers. For instance, miR-1265 can regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by targeting CAB39. miR-1265-mediated suppression of CAB39 interferes with oncogenic autophagy through modulation of AMPK/mTOR (7). On the other hand, miR-107-mediated suppression of CAB39 and subsequent activation of AMPK/mTOR signaling confers chemoresistance to colorectal cancer (8). Table 1 summarizes the role of CAB39-interacting miRNAs in the pathogenesis of different disorders.

Figure 1 The connection between CAB39 and miRNAs, as well as their role in human diseases. Inhibition of miRNA has resulted in increased CAB39 levels and increased activity of AMPK pathway. Cab39 has therefore been found as a miRNAs target, and these miRNAs modulate cardiotoxicity, osteoblasts, cytotoxicity, acute lung damage, chemoresistance, senescence, and cancer development through this RNA.

TABLE 1

Table 1 Shows the interaction between CBP (CAB39) with miRNAs.

CircGSK3B (hsa_circ_0003763) is a circRNA that has indirect interaction with CAB39. This circRNA has been found to be up-regulated in hepatocellular cancer tissues and cell lines. In addition, expression levels of circGSK3B have been correlated with tumor bulk and vascular invasion. Functional studies have indicated the role of circGSK3B in the enhancement of proliferation, migratory potential, and invasiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma. Mechanistically, circGSK3B sponges miR-1265 to up-regulate expression of CAB39 (Figure 2). This circRNA has a role in reprogramming of glutamine metabolism. Taken together, circGSK3B/miR-1265/CAB39 axis has a role in enhancing proliferation, migration, invasion of this kind of cancer (11). HOTAIR is an example of lncRNAs that activates AMPKα via EZH2/miR-451/CAB39 axis regulation. CAB39 is involved in regulation of oxidative stress and cardiac myocyte apoptosis during ischemia/reperfusion injury (12). Table 2 summarizes CAB39-interacting lncRNAs/circRNAs.

Non-Coding RNAs and S100A4

S100A4 is a member of the S100 CBP family, which is produced by tumor cells as well as stromal cells. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of several kinds of cells and participate in the regulation of cell cycle transition and differentiation. The genes coding members of S100 family are clustered on chromosome 1q21 (13). This CBP has been shown to support tumorigenesis through stimulation of angiogenesis. A number of miRNAs have been shown to inhibit the expression of S100A4. For instance, miR-187-3p by targeting S100A4 could inhibit the metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of hepatocellular carcinoma (14). Expression of S100A4 has been shown to be increased in ovarian cancer in association with clinical stage of these patients. Down-regulation of this CBP has reduced the mobility of ovarian cancer cells and their metastatic ability, while up-regulation of S100A4 has increased the invasive aptitude of these cells. miR-296 has been identified as an important upstream regulator of this CBP (Figure 3). Dysregulation of miR-296/S100A4 axis could facilitate EMT (15). Another study in bladder cancer has revealed that miR-149-3p could inhibit proliferation, migration, and invasion of malignant cells through targeting S100A4 (16). In colorectal cancer cells, miR-325-3p/S100A4 (17), miR-520c/S100A4 (18) and miR-296/S100A4 (19) have been identified as molecular axes that affect carcinogenesis. Table 3 shows S100A4-interacting miRNAs.

TABLE 3

Table 3 S100A4-interacting miRNAs.

A number of lncRNAs have been found to affect miRNA/S100A4 axes. These lncRNAs mainly act as molecular sponges for S100A4-interacting miRNAs, thus releasing S100A4 from inhibitory effects of these miRNAs. For instance, HOXA-AS2 through regulating miR-520c-3p/S100A4 (23) and miR-520c-3p/S100A4 (24) axes could affect pathogenesis of papillary thyroid cancer and acute myeloid leukemia, respectively. Moreover, Linc01833 via regulation of miR-519e-3p/S100A4 axis could enhance progression of lung cancer (25). Table 4 shows S100A4-interacting lncRNAs.

Table 4 S100A4-interacting lncRNAs.

Non-Coding RNAs and S100A7

S100A7 is another member of the S100 family of proteins which contains 2 EF-hand domains. S100A7 differs from the other members of this family in the absence of calcium binding capacity in one of its EF-hand domains, which is located at the N-terminus. S100A7 has been shown to regulate metastatic ability of ovarian cancer cells and chemoresistance phenotype through modulation of MAPK pathway (Figure 3). This CBP has been shown to be targeted by miR-330-5p (26). Moreover, S100A7 has been found to be a direct target of miR-26b-5p. In fact, miR-26b-5p can suppress proliferation, migration and invasiveness of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells through deceasing expression of S100A7 (27). Table 5 shows S100A7-interacting miRNAs.

TABLE 5

Table 5 S100A7-interacting miRNAs.

Non-Coding RNAs and S100A1

Similar to the majority of S100 proteins, binding of S100A1 with calcium results in great conformational alterations which facilitate interaction of this CBP with several protein targets. Targets of this CBP are those participating in calcium-related signal transduction, neurotransmitter release, cytoskeletal and filament associated proteins, transcription factors, a number of different proteins with enzymatic functions, and other CBPs, particularly S100B, S100A4 and S100P (28). Suppression of S100A1 expression has been suggested as a therapeutic modality for treatment of various disorders such as neurological disorders, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and numerous kinds of malignancies (28). FOXD2-AS1 is the only lncRNA whose interactions with S100A1 have been verified. This lncRNA through modulation of S100A1/Hippo (29) and miR-363-5p/S100A1 pathways (30) can participate in the pathogenesis of breast cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, respectively (Table 6).

Table 6 S100A1-interacting lncRNAs.

Non-Coding RNAs and S100P

S100P is another member of S100 CBPs that mediate calcium-dependent signal transduction (31). S100P has been primarily isolated from the placenta (32). From an evolutionary point of view, S100P is regarded as a novel gene, existing only in the vertebrate genomes (33). As S100P is expressed in the uterus during the rhythmic hormonal changes, it might be associated with embryonic implantation/development (33). Yet, the role of S100P has been mostly investigated in the context of cancer (33). Two independent studies have assessed association between S100P and non-coding RNAs in pancreatic cancer. First, miR-495 has been shown to suppress pancreatic carcinogenesis by targeting S100P (34). Secondly, circ_0092314 has been shown to induce EMT in this type of cancer through sponging miR-671 and releasing S100P from its inhibitory effects (35). Table 7 shows S100P-ineracting miRNAs and circRNAs.

TABLE 7

Table 7 S100P-ineracting miRNAs and circRNAs.

Non-Coding RNAs and Other Calcium Binding Proteins

S100A8, S100A9, S100A10, S100A11, S100A14, S100A16, NECAB3 and SMOC2 are other CBPs whose interactions with non-coding RNAs have been verified in the context of human disorders (Tables 8 and 9). LINC00174 via targeting regulates miR-320/S100A10 axis could increase malignant phenotypes (40). SNHG8 is another lncRNA which serves as a sponge for miR-1270 to up-regulate expression of S100A11 and promote progression of ovarian cancer (41). In the context of lung cancer, CASC9 has been found to sponge miR-335-3p and induce expression of S100A14 (42). In addition, GNAS-AS1 serves as a sponge for miR-4319 to increase expression of NECAB3 and regulate macrophage polarization (43).

Discussion

The interactions between ncRNAs and CBPs have been assessed in different contexts. Most of studies have been conducted in the context of cancer, where CBPs affect malignant features through a variety of mechanisms, particularly induction of EMT. CAB39 is among the mostly assessed CBPs in this regard. Notably, the functional effect of CAB39-interacting miRNAs on the cells is largely mediated through modulation of activity of AMPK/mTOR. S100A4 as another CBP has been shown to affect expression of EMT-markers such as E-cadherin, Vimentin, N-cadherin and Snail1. A number of miRNAs such as miR-187-3p, miR-296, miR-149-3p, miR-19a, miR-325-3p, miR-520c and miR-296 have been shown to affect carcinogenesis through modulation of expression of S100A4. Thus, S100A4-interacting non-coding RNAs are putative targets for design of novel therapeutic options against tumor metastasis and EMT. S100P and S100A16 are other CBPs whose interactions with non-coding RNAs are implicated in the process of EMT. In fact, miRNAs that affect expression of CBPs have been shown to bind with 3’ UTR of mRNAs coding for CBPs.

circRNAs and lncRNAs that affect expression of CBPs mainly act as molecular sponges for miRNAs. For instance, circGSK3B/miR-1265/CAB39, circ_0092314/miR-671/S100P, HOXA-AS2/miR-520c-3p/S100A4, HOXA-AS2/miR-520c-3p/S100A4, Linc01833/miR-519e-3p/S100A4, LINC00174/miR-320/S100A10, SNHG8/miR-1270/S100A11, CASC9/miR-335-3p/S100A14 and GNAS-AS1/miR-4319/NECAB3 are examples of these regulatory axes which are involved in the pathoetiology of human disorders, particularly cancers.

The regulatory effects of some miRNAs on their specific CBPs have been verified in different contexts. For instance, the inhibitory impact of miR-451 on CAB39 has been shown to be implicated in drug-associated cardiac toxicity as well as lung cancer. Similarly, CAB39 has been found as a target of miR-107 in both osteoblasts and colorectal cancer cells. Finally, S100A4 has been shown to be targeted by miR-296 in both ovarian and colorectal cancer cells. For other miRNAs, regulatory effects have been confirmed only in a single context.

Taken together, several miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs can regulate expressions of CBPs and participate in the etiology of human disorders via this route. Identification of this type of interactions has practical significance in design of disorders which are associated with abnormal calcium signal transduction. Research in this field is still in its infancy and the functional associations between non-coding RNAs and several members of CBP family need to be clarified.
