A Key Role of microRNA-29b for the Suppression of Colon Cancer Cell Migration by American Ginseng

چکیده
Metastasis of colon cancer cells increases the risk of colon cancer mortality. We have recently shown that American ginseng prevents colon cancer, and a Hexane extract of American Ginseng (HAG) has particularly potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Dysregulated microRNA (miR) expression has been observed in several disease conditions including colon cancer. Using global miR expression profiling, we observed increased miR-29b in colon cancer cells following exposure to HAG. Since miR-29b plays a role in regulating the migration of cancer cells, we hypothesized that HAG induces miR-29b expression to target matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) thereby suppressing the migration of colon cancer cells. Results are consistent with this hypothesis. Our study supports the understanding that targeting MMP-2 by miR-29b is a mechanism by which HAG suppresses the migration of colon cancer cells.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a small, non-coding RNAs and it could post-transcriptionally related gene expression by negatively regulating the stability or translational efficiency of their target genes. Previous studies have reported the antineoplastic effect of microRNA-29b (miR-29b) in several kinds of cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of miR-29b in human osteosarco...

Objective(s): Despite the good results of anticancer activities by curcumin, there are some hurdles that limit the use of curcumin as an anticancer agent. Many methods were examined to overcome this defect like the use of the dendrosomal curcumin (DNC). There is increasing evidence that miRNAs play important roles in biological processes. In this study, we focus on the roles of microRNA-21 in t...

MicroRNAs (miRs) have been demonstrated to play promoting or tumor suppressive roles in various human cancers, but the regulatory mechanism of miR-29b underlying gastric cancer development and progression still remains largely unclear. In the present study, we found that miR-29b was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. Low expression of miR-29b was significantly...
