Zusammenfassung: | Muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is characterized by a poor overall survival rate in patients. Therefore, innovation and evaluation of idea anti-cancer compounds is of importance for reducing the mortality of MIBCs. The chemotherapeutic activity of ChlA-F, a novel C8 fluoride derivative of cheliensisin A with potent anti-neoplastic properties, was barely investigated. We reported here that ChlA-F treatment significantly induced miR-494 expression and suppressed cell invasion in human MIBC cells. Our results indicated that miR-494 was downregulated in M1 metastatic BC patients in comparison to non-metastatic (M0) BC patients, and such downregulation was also well correlated with over survival rate for MIBC patients. Mechanistically, ChlA-F-induced upregulation of miR-494 was due to a HuR-mediated increase in JunB mRNA stabilization and protein expression, which led to an increase in miR-494 transcription via directly binding to the miR-494 promoter region, while the upregulated miR-494 was able to bind the 3′-UTR region of c-Myc mRNA, resulting in decreased c-Myc mRNA stability and protein expression and further reducing the transcription of c-Myc-regulated MMP-2 and ultimately inhibiting BC invasion. Our results provide the first evidence showing that miR-494 downregulation was closely associated with BC metastatic status and overall BC survival, and ChlA-F was able to reverse the level of miR-494 with a profound inhibition of human BC invasion in human invasive BC cells. Our studies also reveal that ChlA-F is a promising therapeutic compound for BCs and miR-494 could also serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of MIBC patients.
