MiR‐145 inhibits human colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion via PAK4‐dependent pathway

چکیده
MicroRNA-145 (miR-145), as a tumor-suppressive miRNA, has been demonstrated down-regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and could inhibit CRC cells growth. However, the molecular pathway in which miR-145 modulates CRC malignant transformation has not been fully revealed. Here, we reported an intense correlation between the expressions of PAK4 and miR-145 in human CRC cell lines. Transwell assay verified overexpression of miR-145, as well as knockdown of PAK4, significantly suppressed cell migration and invasion ability. The impaired migration and invasion ability of SW1116 cells was affected through the down-regulation of phosphorylation level of LIMK1 and cofilin in a PAK4-dependent manner. Collectively, we have demonstrated that miR-145 suppressed CRC migration and invasion through PAK4 pathway, which provides an attractive microRNA-based therapeutic target for CRC.

BACKGROUND The extraordinary invasive capability is a major cause of treatment failure and tumor recurrence in lung cancer. Evidence in other cell systems has implicated the regulatory role of microRNA-145 in cell motility and invasion, which promotes us to investigate the biological functions of miR-145 in lung cancer in this regard. RESULTS We have found that miR-145 is dramatically down-re...

MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is a direct transcriptional target of p53, and is downregulated in several different types of cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of the miR-34a effects in colorectal cancer is not well understood. In this study, we explored the role of miR-34a in cell invasion, migration, and apoptosis. Transient overexpression of miR-34a in SW480 cells caused a severe decrease in ...
