The connection between microRNA expression and lung cancer development has been identified in recent literature. However, the mechanism of microRNA has been poorly elucidated in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Comparing with adjacent tissues (n=75), miR-30c has a lower expression in lung cancer specimens (n=75). The knockdown of miR-30c enhanced the invasion of A549 cells; meanwhile, the overexpression of miR-30c could reverse the effect of the knockdown of miR-30c in vitro. A luciferase assay revealed that miR-30c was directly bound to the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTR) of MTA1. QRT-PCR and western blot shows MTA1 was up-regulated in mRNA and protein levels. The effect taken on the invasion of NSCLC by overexpression of MTA1 works the same as down-regulated miR-30c.
miR-30c may play a pivotal role in controlling lung cancer invasion through regulating MTA1in NSCLC.
近期文献已证实微小RNA(miRNA)表达与肺癌发展之间存在关联。然而,在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中,miRNA的作用机制尚未完全阐明。
与癌旁组织(n = 75)相比,miR-30c在肺癌组织标本(n = 75)中的表达较低。敲低miR-30c可增强A549细胞的侵袭能力;同时,在体外过表达miR-30c可逆转敲低miR-30c的作用。荧光素酶报告基因检测显示,miR-30c直接与MTA1的3'-非翻译区(3'-UTR)结合。实时定量聚合酶链反应(QRT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法显示,MTA1的mRNA和蛋白质水平均上调。过表达MTA1对NSCLC侵袭的影响与下调miR-30c相同。
在NSCLC中,miR-30c可能通过调控MTA1在控制肺癌侵袭中发挥关键作用。
