چکیده

microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a role in cancer. Antisense oligonucleotides can bind directly to miRNAs and block their activity, which are generally named anti-miRNAs. To suppress A549 cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo by anti-miRNAs, an anti-miR-150 expression vector (PR-ASO-150), regulated by the H1 promoter and containing a 'TTTTT' sequence following a hairpin to stop transcription, was constructed. A549 cell proliferation in vitro or in nude mice was observed after PR-ASO-150 treatment. Our results showed that miR-150 expression was inhibited and the growth inhibition rate of A549 cells was higher in the PR-ASO-150-treated group compared with the control, which indicated that PR-ASO-150 could inhibit A549 cell proliferation by regulating miR-150 expression. Following establishment of A549 cancer cell xenografts in nude mice, PR-ASO-150 was delivered intratumorally to investigate the suppressive action to tumor proliferation by regulating miR-150 expression. The results indicate that the tumor volume and weight were lower compared to the control group. Our results further showed that p53 expression was higher after tumor tissue was treated with PR-ASO-150, indicating that up-regulation of p53 contributed to the suppression to tumor growth. Our study provides a novel strategy for cancer therapy through the development of anti-miRNAs.

Curcumin inhibits lung cancer invasion and metastasis by attenuating GLUT1/MT1-MMP/MMP2 pathway.

Glucose transporter (GLUT) 1 is found highly expressed in malignant tumors and considered a mediator inducing cancer metastasis. Curcumin is a natural product which exerts anti-invasion and metastasis effects in cancer. This study aimed at evaluating whether attenuating GLUT1 was involved in curcumin's anti-invasion and metastasis effects. In the in vitro part, constricted pcDNA3.1-GLUT1 vector...

Overexpression of the Lung Cancer-Prognostic miR-146b MicroRNAs Has a Minimal and Negative Effect on the Malignant Phenotype of A549 Lung Cancer Cells

INTRODUCTION Expression levels of miR-146b-5p and -3p microRNAs in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with recurrence of the disease after surgery. To understand this, the effect of miR-146b overexpression was studied in A549 human lung cancer cells. METHODS A549 cells, engineered with lentiviruses to overexpress the human pre-miR-146b precursor microRNA, were examined fo...

N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 overexpression reduces matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 activities and cell invasion of A549 lung cancer cell line in vitro

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...
