Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common types of cancers in the whole world with a poor prognosis. Finding out how the cancer form and develop is the most important way to cure this cancer. miRNAs, 21-22 nucleotides regulatory small non-coding RNAs, have been found to be critical involved in the growth of pancreatic cancer. In this study, we found that miR-92a was up regulated in three kinds of human pancreatic cancer cell lines. There is a correlation between miR-92a and malignant degree of human pancreatic cancer cell lines. Then we found that miR-92a was essential for promoting cell proliferation in human pancreatic cancer. Inhibition of the function of miR-92a repressed the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. Further, we found that miR-92a enhanced the activation of JNK signalling pathway by directly targeting the JNK signalling inhibitor DUSP10. DUSP10 is responsible for miR-92a induced JNK signalling and cell proliferation. Altogether, our study showed a miR-92a/DUSP10/JNK signalling pathway that plays an important role in regulating the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells.
胰腺癌是全世界最常见的癌症类型之一,预后较差。了解癌症的形成和发展是治愈这种癌症的最重要途径。miRNAs 是 21-22 个核苷酸的调节性小非编码 RNA,已被发现与胰腺癌的生长密切相关。在本研究中,我们发现 miR-92a 在三种人类胰腺癌细胞系中上调。miR-92a 与人类胰腺癌细胞系的恶性程度之间存在相关性。然后,我们发现 miR-92a 对促进人类胰腺癌细胞增殖是必需的。抑制 miR-92a 的功能会抑制胰腺癌细胞的增殖。此外,我们发现 miR-92a 通过直接靶向 JNK 信号通路抑制剂 DUSP10 增强 JNK 信号通路的激活。DUSP10 负责 miR-92a 诱导的 JNK 信号和细胞增殖。总之,我们的研究表明,miR-92a/DUSP10/JNK 信号通路在调节胰腺癌细胞增殖中起着重要作用。
