Coordinated Regulation of ATF2 by miR-26b in γ-Irradiated Lung Cancer Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
MicroRNA regulates cellular responses to ionizing radiation (IR) through translational control of target genes. We analyzed time-series changes in microRNA expression following γ-irradiation in H1299 lung cancer cells using microarray analysis. Significantly changed IR-responsive microRNAs were selected based on analysis of variance analysis, and predicted target mRNAs were enriched in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Concurrent analysis of time-series mRNA and microRNA profiles uncovered that expression of miR-26b was down regulated, and its target activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) mRNA was up regulated in γ-irradiated H1299 cells. IR in miR-26b overexpressed H1299 cells could not induce expression of ATF2. When c-Jun N-terminal kinase activity was inhibited using SP600125, expression of miR-26b was induced following γ-irradiation in H1299 cells. From these results, we concluded that IR-induced up-regulation of ATF2 was coordinately enhanced by suppression of miR-26b in lung cancer cells, which may enhance the effect of IR in the MAPK signaling pathway.

Overexpression of miR-26b decreases the cisplatin-resistance in laryngeal cancer by targeting ATF2
Cisplatin is a common used chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of laryngeal cancer. However, drug-resistance is a major obstacle in platinum-based chemotherapy for laryngeal cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated that dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is responsible for chemoresistance in multiple cancers including laryngeal cancer, but the potential mechanisms are required to be explor...
متن کاملmiR-26b enhances radiosensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by targeting EphA2
Objective(s): Although low-dose radiotherapy (RT) that involves low collateral damage is more suitable for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than traditional high-dose RT, but to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect with low-dose RT, it is necessary to sensitize HCC cells to irradiation. This study was aimed to determine whether radiosensitivity of HCC cells can be enhanced using miR-26b by tar...
متن کاملMicroRNA-26b suppresses autophagy in breast cancer cells by targeting DRAM1 mRNA, and is downregulated by irradiation
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small RNAs that do not code for proteins, but instead decrease the stability and suppress the translation of target mRNAs by binding with complementary sequences in their 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs). In the present study, it is reported that breast cancer tumor tissue, as well as irradiated MCF7 breast cancer cells, exhibit decreased levels of miR-26b expression compa...
متن کاملHuaier suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in human pulmonary cancer cells via upregulation of miR-26b-5p.
Various studies have reported that Huaier possesses anti-tumor effects. However, the mechanisms are not completely elucidated. Here, we found 66 differentially expressed miRNAs in Huaier-treated pulmonary adenocarcinoma A549 cells, with upregulation of miR-26b-5p. Transfection of A549 cells with miR-26b-5p mimic inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis, while transfection of Huaier-treated...
متن کاملDown‐regulation of miR‐26b induces cisplatin resistance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by repressing JAG1
Therapy against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is hurdled by chemoresistance. Recent studies found that microRNA (miRNA) are important regulators of cancer resistance. In this study, we aimed to explore the role and mechanism of miR-26b in regulating NPC cisplatin (CDDP) resistance. Real-time PCR was used to evaluate miR-26b levels in CDDP-resistant and CDDP-sensitive NPC cells, as well as huma...
