The involvement of miR-335 in csolorectal cancer (CRC) development remains controversial. Here, we found that miR-335 was highly up-regulated in CRC specimens relative to normal mucosa, and high miR-335 expression level was markedly associated with the tumour size and differentiation of CRC. The overexpression of miR-335 in CRC cells facilitated cell proliferation in vitro and tumour growth in vivo. RASA1 was validated as a target of miR-335 that was downregulation in CRC. Forced expression of miR-335 silenced RASA1 and triggered Ras/ERK cascade in CRC. Together, miR-335-RASA1 contributes to cell growth in CRC, and elucidation of downstream pathway will provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of CRC progression.
miR - 335在结直肠癌(CRC)发展中的作用仍存在争议。在此,我们发现相对于正常黏膜,miR - 335在CRC标本中高度上调,且miR - 335高表达水平与CRC的肿瘤大小和分化显著相关。miR - 335在CRC细胞中的过表达促进了体外细胞增殖和体内肿瘤生长。RASA1被验证为miR - 335的靶标,其在CRC中表达下调。miR - 335的强制表达使RASA1沉默并在CRC中触发Ras/ERK级联反应。总之,miR - 335 - RASA1促进CRC中的细胞生长,阐明其下游通路将为CRC进展的分子机制提供新见解。
