miRNAs have been shown to play pivotal roles in the establishment and progression of colon cancer, but their underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. N-acetyltransferase NAA10 participates in many cellular processes, including tumorigenesis. Here we showed that miR-342-5p and miR-608 suppressed the tumorigenesis of colon cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by targeting NAA10 mRNA for degradation. Overexpression of miR-342-5p or miR-608 decreased NAA10 mRNA and protein levels and thereby suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and cell-cycle progression, as well as promoted apoptosis in SW480 and SW620 cells. More importantly, miR-342-5p and miR-608 significantly decreased the tumorigenic capacity of SW480 and SW620 cells in a mouse xenograft model. We also observed an inverse correlation between the expression of NAA10 and that of both miRNAs. Our results implicate miR-342-5p and miR-608 in colon cancer development and unveil the underlying mechanism of this phenomenon, which involves NAA10.
微小RNA(miRNAs)已被证明在结肠癌的发生和发展中起关键作用,但其潜在机制尚未完全阐明。N-乙酰转移酶NAA10参与包括肿瘤发生在内的许多细胞过程。在此,我们表明miR-342-5p和miR-608通过靶向NAA10 mRNA进行降解,在体外和体内抑制结肠癌细胞的肿瘤发生。miR-342-5p或miR-608的过表达降低了NAA10 mRNA和蛋白质水平,从而抑制了SW480和SW620细胞的增殖、迁移和细胞周期进程,并促进了细胞凋亡。更重要的是,在小鼠异种移植模型中,miR-342-5p和miR-608显著降低了SW480和SW620细胞的致瘤能力。我们还观察到NAA10的表达与这两种miRNA的表达呈负相关。我们的结果表明miR-342-5p和miR-608参与结肠癌的发展,并揭示了这一现象的潜在机制,其中涉及NAA10。
