miR-34a inhibits migration and invasion by regulating the SIRT1/p53 pathway in human SW480 cells

چکیده
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 cell migration and invasion (both, p<0.05) compared to the control groups. Combining miR-34a transfection with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment further enhanced the inhibition in SW480 cell migration and invasion (both, p<0.05) compared to 5-FU treatment alone. These cellular changes were associated with upregulation of acetylated‑p53 (ac-p53) and p21 and downregulation of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). These data demonstrate that miR-34a regulates the expression of a number of critical proteins involved in apoptosis, proliferation and the response to chemotherapy. In summary, miR-34a increases the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU treatment through specific regulation of the SIRT1/p53 pathway.

miR-34a repression of SIRT1 regulates apoptosis.
MicroRNA 34a (miR-34a) is a tumor suppressor gene, but how it regulates cell proliferation is not completely understood. We now show that the microRNA miR-34a regulates silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) expression. MiR-34a inhibits SIRT1 expression through a miR-34a-binding site within the 3' UTR of SIRT1. MiR-34 inhibition of SIRT1 leads to an increase in acetylated p53 and expression of ...
متن کاملActivation of the miR-34a/SIRT1/p53 Signaling Pathway Contributes to the Progress of Liver Fibrosis via Inducing Apoptosis in Hepatocytes but Not in HSCs
Liver fibrosis results from a sustained wound healing response to chronic liver injury, and the activation of nonparenchymal hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the pivotal process. MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is the direct target gene of p53 and activates p53 through sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) simultaneously. The miR-34a/SIRT1/p53 signaling pathway thus forms a positive feedback loop wherein p53 induces miR-34...

MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a), a transcriptional target of p53, is a well-known tumor suppressor gene. Here, we identified Fra-1 as a new target of miR-34a and demonstrated that miR-34a inhibits Fra-1 expression at both protein and messenger RNA levels. In addition, we found that p53 indirectly regulates Fra-1 expression via a miR-34a-dependant manner in colon cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-34a s...

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) participate in the regulation of several biological processes, including cell differentiation. Recently, miR-34a has been implicated in the differentiation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells, human erythroleukemia cells, and mouse embryonic stem cells. In addition, members of the miR-34 family have been identified as direct p53 targets. However, the functi...

Backgrounds: SIRT1 plays an important role in many physiological processes, including metabolism, neuronal protection, senecence and inflammatory, by staging histones and multiple transcription factors. However, the complex mechanisms of SIRT1 signaling in tumors are not yet fully understood, as it acts as both an oncogen and a tumor suppressor. On the other hand, it has been shown that the Lnc...
