MiR‐634 sensitizes glioma cells to temozolomide by targeting CYR61 through Raf‐ERK signaling pathway

چکیده
Glioma is the most common intracranial malignant tumors, accounting for about 40% of intracranial tumors. Primary or secondary drug resistance is one of the main reasons for the failure of treatment. The oncogenic or tumor-suppressive roles of miR-634 have been revealed in different types of cancer. However, the role of miR-634 in glioma remains unknown and whether miR-634 could sensitize glioma cells to temozolomide also is unclear. Here, we aim to investigate the biological function of miR-634 and the possible mechanisms in glioma. In this study, we found that miR-634 was downregulated in glioma tissues compared with normal brain tissues, and its expression was associated with tumor size and WHO grade. Importantly, glioma patients with low miR-634 expression showed a shorter survival time than patients which had high expression of miR-634. This study also showed that miR-634 was decreased in temozolomide-resistant glioma cells, and restoration of miR-634 could sensitize the resistant cells to temozolomide by targeting CYR61 through Raf-ERK signaling. Our study provides a potential target for overcome drug resistance in glioma.

MiR-143 acts as a tumor suppressor by targeting N-RAS and enhances temozolomide-induced apoptosis in glioma
Therapeutic applications of microRNAs (miRNAs) in RAS-driven glioma were valuable, but their specific roles and functions have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we firstly report that miR-143 directly targets the neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (N-RAS) and functions as a tumor-suppressor in glioma. Overexpression of miR-143 decreased the expression of N-RAS, inhibited PI3K/AKT, MAPK/ER...

Introduction: Malignant astrocytic gliomas are the most common and lethal brain malignancies due to their refractory to the current therapies. Nowadays, molecular targeted therapy has attracted great attention in treatment of glioma. Connexin 43 (Cx43) and micro ribonucleic acid- 21(miR-21) are among molecules that are involved in glioma development and progression. These molecules showed...
متن کاملDifferential Effects of MicroRNAs on Glioblastoma Growth and Migration
Glioblastoma multiforme is characterized by rapid proliferation, aggressive metastatic potential, and resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. The matricellular protein CYR61 regulates cellular proliferation and migration and is highly expressed in Glioblastomas. MicroRNAs are 22-nucleotides long RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Here, we utilized the LN229 glioblastoma c...

LAT-derived microRNAs in HSV-1 target SMAD3 and SMAD4 in TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway
Background: During its latent infection, HSV-1 produces only a miRNA precursor called LAT, which encodes six distinct miRNAs. Recent studies have suggested that some of these miRNAs could target cellular mRNAs. One of the key cell signaling pathways that can be affected by HSV-1 is the TGF-β/Smad pathway. Herein, we investigated the potential role of the LAT as well as three LAT-derived miRNAs ...
