MiR-506: A Multitasker in Suppression of the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
MiRNAs emerge as important regulators of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The Best known EMT regulatory miRNAs are targeting the transcriptional repressors of E-cadherin (E-cad). We identified miR-506 as a key EMT inhibitor through directly targeting the E-cad transcriptional repressor, SNAI2. Our recent studies showed that miR-506 simultaneously suppresses vimentin and N-cad. Thus, miR-506 possesses a multitasking property in the suppression of EMT and metastasis and thus may represent a promising tool in cancer therapeutics.

Suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by Krüppel-like factor 4
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant and lethal human cancers. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enhances the carcinogenesis of HCC, and therapies targeting EMT appear to be promising treatments. We have previously shown that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) suppressed EMT of HCC cells through downregulating EMT-associated proteins. Here, we examined the roles of microR...
متن کاملmiR-506 Regulates Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important parameter related to breast cancer survival. Among several microRNAs predicted to target EMT-related genes, miR-506 is a novel miRNA found to be significantly related to breast cancer patient survival in a meta-analysis. miR-506 suppressed the expression of mesenchymal genes such as Vimentin, Snai2, and CD151 in MDA-MB-231 human breast can...
متن کاملThe role of microRNA-30a and downstream snail1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma tumor
Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulatory network of epithelial-to-mesenchymal and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transitions
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse process, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), play important roles in embryogenesis, stem cell biology, and cancer progression. EMT can be regulated by many signaling pathways and regulatory transcriptional networks. Furthermore, post-transcriptional regulatory networks regulate EMT; these networks include the long non-coding RNA...

Owing to this fact that most of the mortalities in cancers are as a result of metastasis, study on the involved pathways in metastasis including Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) would be so critical and important. Up to date, several extensive studies have been carried out to determine the correlation between EMT and cancer and their results have shown that the EMT plays pivotal role ...
