چکیده
Heparanase is a mammalian endoglycosidase that degrades heparan sulfate at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. The expression of heparanase was detected in a wide variety of human malignant tumors and closely associated with tumor invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. However, the specific roles of heparanase and its mechanisms of regulating the malignant potential of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells still remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of heparanase was down-regulated in NSCLC cell line by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide. Results showed that down-regulation of heparanase led to significant inhibition of invasive and proliferative potentials of A549 cells in vitro and in vivo. Further research demonstrated that down-regulation of heparanase significantly inhibited the angiogenic potential of A549 cells, which might be the mechanism responsible for the inhibition of A549 cell proliferation in BALB/c nude mice in vivo. These findings demonstrate that heparanase plays essential roles in regulating the invasion, proliferation, and angiogenesis of A549 cells.

Long non-coding RNA FOXO1 inhibits lung cancer cell growth through down-regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Objective(s): Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, which seriously threatens the health and life of the people. Recently, a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) termed lncFOXO1 was found and investigated in breast cancer. However, the effect of lncFOXO1 on lung cancer is still ambiguous. The current study aimed to uncover the functions of lncFOXO1 in l...

Objective(s):N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a candidate gene for tumor suppression. The expression of NDRG2 is down-regulated in several tumors including lung cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of NDRG2 overexpression on invasion, migration, and enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Ma...

The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...
