Up-regulation of microRNA-375 inhibits the proliferation of gastric cancer cell through targeting AEG-1

چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRs) were a series of non-coding RNAs, which could suppress the transcription of mRNAs; the deregulations of miR could regulate the cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. In the present study we try to investigate the biological effect of miR-375 on the gastric cancer cells. RT-PCR result showed that miR-375 expression was significantly decreased in gastric cancer cells compared with normal gastric cells and microRNA mimic transfection assay was used to investigate the biological effect of miR-375 in the gastric cancer cells. MTT results demonstrated that the induction of miR-375 significantly inhibited the gastric cancer cell proliferation and FACS study indicated the cell proliferation inhibition was attributed to the induction of gastric cancer cell apoptosis. Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) was an important oncogene in multiple aspects of cancer development and progression, our further studies indicated that the transfection of miR-375 mimic significantly decreased the expression of AEG-1 gene both in mRNA level and protein level, which suggest miR-375 regulate the gastric cancer cell through the regulation of AEG-1 gene. In conclusion, our findings suggested that miR-375 targeted AEG-1 gene in gastric cancer cell and regulated the gastric cancer cell growth in vitro, which highlight the therapeutic potential of miR-375 in gastric cancer clinical treatment.

microRNA-375 inhibits colorectal cancer cells proliferation by downregulating JAK2/STAT3 and MAP3K8/ERK signaling pathways
MicroRNA-375 is involved in many types of alimentary system cancers. Our previous studies showed that microRNA-375 was significantly down-regulated in carcinoma tissues compared with para-carcinoma tissues, which strongly indicates that microRNA-375 might suppress the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. However, the mechanism underlying the microRNA-375 regulation in colorectal can...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play a critical role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Our previous study showed that miR-375 frequently downregulated in gastric cancer suppresses cell proliferation by targeting Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). Here, we further found that the expression level of miR-375 is significantly decreased in metastatic gastric cancer tissues compared with the non-metast...

Objective(s):MiRNAs have been proposed to be key regulators of tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. However, their effect and prognostic value in gastric cancer is still poorly known. Materials and Methods: Gastric cancer cell lines were cultured. Tissue samples obtained from 36 gastric cancer patients were used for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. The tissue microarrays (T...
متن کاملMicroRNA-375 Functions as a Tumor-Suppressor Gene in Gastric Cancer by Targeting Recepteur d’Origine Nantais
Emerging evidence supports a fundamental role for microRNAs (miRNA) in regulating cancer metastasis. Recently, microRNA-375 (miR-375) was reported to be downregulated in many types of cancers, including gastric cancer. Increase in the expression of Recepteur d'Origine Nantais (RON), a receptor tyrosine kinase, has been reported in tumors. However, the function of miR-375 and RON expression in g...
