treRNA is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in cancer progression. In this study, we show that miR-190a can silence treRNA post-transcriptionally. Suppression of treRNA by miR-190a led to significant changes of mesenchymal-epithelial transition markers and impaired migration and invasion capability of hepatoma cells. TCGA data indicated that miR-190a exhibited lower expression in hepatoma tissues, especially from patients with vascular tumor invasion, compared to normal tissues. Our results reveal the involvement of miR-190a-treRNA axis in hepatoma progression and shed light on lncRNA-based cancer therapies for hepatoma patients at high risk of metastasis.
treRNA是一种参与癌症进展的长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)。在本研究中,我们发现miR-190a可在转录后沉默treRNA。miR-190a对treRNA的抑制导致间充质-上皮转化标志物发生显著变化,并损害肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭能力。TCGA数据表明,与正常组织相比,miR-190a在肝癌组织中表达较低,尤其是在伴有血管肿瘤侵犯的患者中。我们的研究结果揭示了miR-190a-treRNA轴参与肝癌进展,并为高转移风险的肝癌患者基于lncRNA的癌症治疗提供了线索。
