Nasopharyngeal carcinoma has very high incidence and high mortality worldwide. MiRNA is related to the tumorigenesis and metastasis of a variety of tumors. In the present study, we verify that the expression of miR-494 in NPC tissues and NPC-derived cells was down-regulated, respectively. The proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of NPC-derived cells were suppressed, while the cell apoptosis was promoted, when miR-494 was over-expressed in these cells. GALNT7 and CDK16 were confirmed to be the direct targets of miR-494. These results suggested that miR-494 play an inhibitory role in the tumorigenesis of NPC.
鼻咽癌在全球范围内具有很高的发病率和死亡率。微小RNA(miRNA)与多种肿瘤的发生和转移有关。在本研究中,我们证实miR-494在鼻咽癌组织和鼻咽癌衍生细胞中的表达分别下调。当miR-494在这些细胞中过表达时,鼻咽癌衍生细胞的增殖、集落形成、迁移和侵袭受到抑制,而细胞凋亡则被促进。GALNT7和CDK16被证实是miR-494的直接靶点。这些结果表明,miR-494在鼻咽癌的发生中起抑制作用。
