MicroRNAs have been reported to play critical roles in various cancers, but there has been no study on the role of miR-889 in cancers. Here, we report that over-expression of miR-889 leads to rapid proliferation of EC109 and EC9706 cells in vitro and in vivo by inducing cells into S-phase. Using bioinformatics methods, DAB2IP was further confirmed to be a direct target of miR-889. In addition, the expression of DAB2IP, which was negatively correlated with that of miR-889, was significantly associated with clinicopathological features of ESCC patients. In conclusion, miR-889 is an important regulator in ESCC and both miR-889 and DAB2IP may serve as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets in patients with ESCC.
据报道,微小RNA在多种癌症中发挥关键作用,但尚无关于miR - 889在癌症中作用的研究。在此,我们报告miR - 889的过表达通过诱导细胞进入S期,导致EC109和EC9706细胞在体外和体内快速增殖。使用生物信息学方法,进一步证实DAB2IP是miR - 889的直接靶标。此外,与miR - 889表达呈负相关的DAB2IP表达与ESCC患者的临床病理特征显著相关。总之,miR - 889是ESCC中的重要调节因子,miR - 889和DAB2IP均可能作为ESCC患者有前景的生物标志物和治疗靶点。
