Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can participate in multiple cancers, including breast cancer. Increasing circRNAs are recognized in various cancers because of the high-throughput sequencing. However, the potential physiological effect of hsa_circ_0136666 in breast cancer progression is unknown. In our study, the biological role of hsa_circ_0136666 in breast cancer development was studied. It was displayed that hsa_circ_0136666 was greatly increased in breast cancer. In addition, overexpression of hsa_circ_0136666 was able to promote Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF7) and BT474 cell proliferation and triggered cell cycle in G2/M phase. microRNA plays critical role in tumor development and they can act as direct targets of circRNAs. miR-1299 has been implicated as a famous tumor suppressor in many cancers. Here, miR-1299 was predicted as the target of hsa_circ_0136666. Meanwhile, its Upregulation repressed breast cancer proliferation, migration and invasion capacity, which could be reversed by the increase of hsa_circ_0136666. Furthermore, Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) was speculated as the downstream target of miR-1299. In MCF7 and BT474 cells, CDK6 was greatly overexpressed and it was shown that CDK6 contributed a lot to breast cancer progression. Subsequently, it was implied that hsa_circ_0136666 could modulate CDK6 levels positively in vitro. In conclusion, it was revealed that Upregulation of hsa_circ_0136666 promoted breast cancer progression by sponging miR-1299 and targeting CDK6. 相似文献

Growing evidence indicates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has biological function in oncogenesis. METTL3, the catalytic component, is the most important part of methyltransferase complex and plays a crucial role in cancers. However, the biological function of circRNAs derived from METTL3 in breast cancer and the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we report circMETTL3, which has not been explored in breast cancer, and it is markedly upregulated in breast cancer. Moreover, we uncovered that circMETTL3 could facilitate cell proliferation, migration and invasion in breast cancer. Mechanism investigation showed that circMETTL3 might act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-31-5p and upregulate its target cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK1). Moreover, m6A modification of circMETTL3 might affect its expression. Taken together, our results elucidate that circMETTL3 promotes breast cancer progression through circMETTL3/miR-31-5p/CDK1 axis. Moreover, METTL3, the host gene of circMETTL3, may regulate circMETTL3 expression in an m6A-dependent manner, while circMETTL3 has no effect on METTL3 expression, providing a new relationship between the circRNA and the corresponding host gene. Thus, it may serve as a new therapeutic target for breast cancer. 相似文献

Gene amplification and protein overexpression of erbB2 (Her2/neu) has been observed in approximately 20–30% of breast cancers. ErbB2-positive breast cancer is tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer and therefore further investigation on the signaling pathways of erbB2 is needed for the therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment. Here we report that microRNA-205 (miR-205), a molecule also reported to be associated with breast cancer, is negatively regulated by erbB2 overexpression. Breast epithelial cells exogenously overexpressed with erbB2 decreased the expression of miR-205, whereas increased the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6). The decreased expression of miR-205 slightly increased by the transfection of erbB2 siRNA into the erbB2-overexpressing breast cancer epithelial cells. Overexpression of erbB2 enabled breast epithelial cells to grow anchorage-independently in soft agar, and the transfection of the precursor of miR-205 into the cells leaded to the decrease in the ability to grow in soft agar. These results suggest that down-regulation of miR-205 in erbB2-overexpressing breast epithelial cells is essential for erbB2-induced tumorigenesis, and miR-205 may have the potential to be a novel important alternative therapeutic target for erbB2-positive breast cancer. 相似文献

Breast cancer is one of the major malignancies threatening women's health worldwide, and chemotherapy tolerance has become a severe limitation of clinical treatment. Recent findings have revealed that resveratrol, as a dietary agent with antitumour activity, could prevent cancer progression by regulating microRNAs (miRNAs). Additionally, dysregulated miRNAs have been found to contribute significantly to chemoresistance by an increasing number of studies. In this study, experiments were designed to study the functional role of resveratrol in MCF-7 cells (low-invasive breast cancer) in chemosensitivity to adriamycin and to determine the targeted miRNAs of resveratrol and their key target proteins linked to cell activity. We demonstrated that in resveratrol-induced chemosensitivity, cell cycle and apoptosis were arrested in adriamycin-resistant breast cancer cells after modulation of the critical suppresser, miR-122-5p. Further miRNA modulation with miR-122-5p mimics or miR-122-5p inhibitors indicated a major effect of miR-122-5p on the regulation of key antiapoptotic proteins (B-cell lymphoma 2 [Bcl-2]) and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6) in drug-resistant breast cancer cells in response to resveratrol. In conclusion, our results indicate that resveratrol acts as a potential inducer to enhance the chemosensitivity of breast cancer and also suggest that miR-122-5p is involved in the pathway of cell-cycle arrest by targeting Bcl-2 and CDKs. 相似文献

The importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human malignancies has been well recognized. Here, we report that the expression of microRNA-210 (miR-210) is down-regulated in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and derived cell lines. Marked decreases in the level of miR-210 were observed especially in poorly differentiated carcinomas. We found that miR-210 inhibits cancer cell survival and proliferation by inducing cell death and cell cycle arrest in G(1)/G(0) and G(2)/M. Finally, we identified fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (FGFRL1) as a target of miR-210 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and demonstrated that FGFRL1 accelerates cancer cell proliferation by preventing cell cycle arrest in G(1)/G(0). Taken together, our findings show an important role for miR-210 as a tumor-suppressive microRNA with effects on cancer cell proliferation. 相似文献

Recently, increasing evidence has indicated lncRNAs are powerful regulators in the progression of multiple tumors. Dysregulation of lncRNA NEAT1 has been recognized in many cancer types. Meanwhile, the studies on NEAT1 function have suggested that NEAT1 can serve as a crucial oncogene. Nevertheless, the investigation of NEAT1 in colon cancer is still few. In our study, the function of NEAT1 was studied in colon cancer. As we observed, NEAT1 level was obviously elevated in colon cancer cells. Then, HCT-116 and SW620 cells were stably infected with shRNA-NEAT1 for 48 hr. As exhibited, silence of NEAT1 could greatly repress colon cancer cell progression. Apoptosis of colon cancer cells was triggered and the cell cycle progression was remarkably inhibited by downregulation of NEAT1. Interestingly, as exhibited, miR-495-3p was obviously decreased in colon cancer cells and it significantly suppressed colon cancer progression. Subsequently, miR-495-3p was predicted as a target of NEAT1. CDK6 was speculated as the target of miR-495-3p and miR-495-3p modulated its expression negatively. Finally, it was indicated that NEAT1 promoted colon cancer development through modulating miR-495-3p and CDK6 in vivo. Taken these together, we reported that NEAT1 could sponge miR-495-3p to contribute to colon cancer progression through activating CDK6. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most common malignant diseases in women. miR-148a plays an important role in regulation of cancer cell proliferation and cancer invasion and down-regulation of miR-148a has been reported in both estrogen receptor (ER) positive and triple-negative (TN) breast cancer. However, the regulation mechanism of miR-148a is unclear. The role of estrogen signaling, a signaling pathway is important in development and progression of breast cancer. Therefore, we speculated that E2 may regulate miR-148a through G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER). To test our hypothesis, we checked the effects of E2 on miR-148a expression in ER positive breast cancer cell MCF-7 and TN cancer cell MDA-MB-231. Then we used GPER inhibitor G15 to investigate whether GPER is involved in regulation of E2 on miR-148a. Furthermore, we analyzed whether E2 affects the expression of HLA-G, which is a miR-148a target gene through GPER. The results showed that E2 induces the level of miR-148a in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, GPER mediates the E2-induced increase in miR-148a expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and E2-GPER regulates the expression of HLA-G by miR-148a. In conclusion, our findings offer important new insights into the ability of estrogenic GPER signaling to trigger HLA-G expression through inhibiting miR-148a that supports immune evasion in breast cancer. 相似文献

Eye absent (Eya) proteins are involved in cell fate determination in a broad spectrum of cells and tissues. Aberrant expression of Eya2 has been documented in a variety of cancers and correlates with clinical outcome. However, whether microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate Eya2 expression remains unknown. Here, we show that miR-30a represses Eya2 expression by binding to the 3′-untranslated region of Eya2. Overexpression of Eya2 in miR-30a-transfected breast cancer cells effectively rescued the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration caused by miR-30a. Knockdown of Eya2 by small-interfering RNA (siRNA) in breast cancer cells mimicked the effect induced by miR-30a and abolished the ability of miR-30a to regulate breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. The miR-30a/Eya2 axis could regulate G1/S cell cycle progression, accompanied by the modulation of expression of cell cycle-related proteins, including cyclin A, cyclin D1, cyclin E, and c-Myc. Moreover, miR-30a expression was downregulated in breast cancer patients, and negatively correlated with Eya2, which was upregulated in breast cancer patients. These data suggest that the miR-30a/Eya2 axis may play an important role in breast cancer development and progression and that miR-30a activation or Eya2 inhibition may be a useful strategy for cancer treatment. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Nevertheless, its underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. LINC00152 are recently investigated in several cancer types. In our current investigation, we observed LINC00152 was obviously upregulated in HCC cells. LINC00152 was significantly downregulated by infecting LV-shLINC00152 in HepG2 and SNU449 cells. Loss of LINC00152 remarkably repressed HCC cell proliferation, cell colony formation, induced cell apoptosis, and restrained cell migration/invasion. Growing evidence has reported long noncoding RNAs can sponge microRNAs to modulate cancer process. Here, we indicated miR-215 was greatly decreased in HCC and LINC00152 regulated HCC development via sponging miR-215. For another, the binding association between LINC00152 and miR-215 was proved by a series of functional assays. CDK13 was predicted as the target of miR-215. Upregulation of miR-215 greatly depressed CDK13 in HCC cells. Subsequently, the in vivo results demonstrated that silence of LINC00152 restrained HCC development via modulating miR-215 to up-regulate CDK13. Therefore, it was revealed that LINC00152 contributed to the progression of HCC by the modulation of miR-215 and CDK13. 相似文献

MicroRNA-567 (miR-567) plays a decisive role in cancers whereas its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unexplored. This study was therefore planned to explore the regulatory function of miR-567 in A549 NSCLC cells and investigate its possible molecular mechanism that may help in NSCLC treatment. In the current study, miR-567 expression was examined by quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in different NSCLC cell lines in addition to normal cell line. A549 NSCLC cells were transfected by miR-567 mimic, miR-567 inhibitor, and negative control siRNA. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and 5-bromo-2′deoxyuridine assays. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were studied by flow cytometry. Bioinformatics analysis programs were used to expect the putative target of miR-567. The expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) gene at mRNA and protein levels were evaluated by using qRT-PCR and western blotting. Our results found that miR-567 expressions decreased in all the studied NSCLC cells as compared to the normal cell line. A549 cell proliferation was suppressed by miR-567 upregulation while cell apoptosis was promoted. Also, miR-567 upregulation induced cell cycle arrest at sub-G1 and S phases. CDK8 was expected as a target gene of miR-567. MiR-567 upregulation decreased CDK8 mRNA and protein expression while the downregulation of miR-567 increased CDK8 gene expression. These findings revealed that miR-567 may be a tumor suppressor in A549 NSCLC cells through regulating CDK8 gene expression and may serve as a novel therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment. 相似文献

Growing evidence has demonstrated that the aberrant expression of miRNA is a hallmark of malignancies, indicating the important roles of miRNA in the development and progression of cancer. MiR-7 is considered as a tumor suppressor miRNA in multiple types of cancer. However, the role of miR-7 in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its underlying mechanism remain elusive. In this study, we found that overexpression of miR-7 arrested cell cycle at G1 to S transition in HCC. By combinational use of bioinformatic prediction, reporter assay, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, we confirmed that CCNE1, an important mediator in G1/S transition is one of new direct target genes of miR-7. Further studies revealed that silencing of CCNE1 recapitulated the effects of miR-7 overexpression, whereas enforced expression of CCNE1 reversed the suppressive effects of miR-7 in cell cycle regulation. Finally, analysis of qRT-PCR showed a reciprocal relationship between miR-7 and CCNE1 in clinical cancer tissues and multiple types of tumor cell lines. These findings indicate that miR-7 exerts tumor-suppressive effects in hepatocarcinogenesis through the suppression of oncogene CCNE1 expression and suggest a therapeutic application of miR-7 in HCC. 相似文献

Although bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) has been identified as a tumor suppressor associated with breast cancer differentiation and metastasis, the potential roles of BMP-6 in regulating cell cycle progression have not been fully examined. In the present study, we provide the novel finding that induction of BMP-6 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells significantly inhibits cell proliferation by decreasing the number of cells in S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in inhibition of tumorigenesis in a nude mouse xenograft model. Further investigation indicated that BMP-6 up-regulates the expression of microRNA-192 (miR-192) in MDA-MB-231 cells. Elevated expression of miR-192 caused cell growth arrest, which is similar to the effect of BMP-6 induction. Importantly, depletion of endogenous miR-192 by miRNA inhibition significantly attenuated BMP-6-mediated repression of cell cycle progression. In breast cancer tissue, miR-192 expression is significantly down-regulated in tumor samples and positively correlates with the expression of BMP-6, demonstrating the inhibitory effect of BMP-6 on cell proliferation through miR-192 regulation. Additionally, using the RT2 Profiler PCR Array, retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) was identified as a direct target of the BMP-6/miR-192 pathway in regulating cell proliferation in breast cancer. In conclusion, we have identified an important role for BMP-6/miR-192 signaling in the regulation of cell cycle progression in breast cancer. Furthermore, BMP-6/miR-192 was expressed at low levels in breast cancer specimens, indicating that this pathway might represent a promising therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment. 相似文献

MicroRNAs are a class of noncoding RNAs that are ∼22 nucleotides in length. MicroRNAs have been shown to play important roles in cell differentiation and in cancer. Recently, studies have shown that miR-372 is tumorigenic in human reproductive system cancers. However, we provide evidence that miR-372 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in cervical carcinoma. miR-372 was found down-regulated in cervical carcinoma tissues as compared with adjacent normal cervical tissues. Growth curve and FACS assays indicated that ectopic expression of miR-372 suppressed cell growth and induced arrest in the S/G2 phases of cell cycle in HeLa cells. We used bioinformatic predictions to determine that CDK2 and cyclin A1 were possible targets of miR-372 and confirmed this prediction using a fluorescent reporter assay. Taken together, these findings indicate that an anti-oncogenic role of miR-372 may be through control of cell growth and cell cycle progression by down-regulating the cell cycle genes CDK2 and cyclin A1. 相似文献

MicroRNA-107 (miR-107) has been demonstrated to regulate proliferation and apoptosis in many types of cancers. Nevertheless, its biological function in gastric cancer remains largely unexplored. Here, we found that the expression level of miR-107 was increased in gastric cancer in comparison with the adjacent normal tissues. The enforced expression of miR-107 was able to promote cell proliferation in NCI-N87 and AGS cells, while miR-107 antisense oligonucleotides (antisense miR-107) blocked cell proliferation. At the molecular level, our results further revealed that expression of FOXO1 was negatively regulated by miR-107. Therefore, the data reported here demonstrate that miR-107 is an important regulator in gastric cancer, which will contribute to a better understanding of the important mis-regulated miRNAs in gastric cancer. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer pathogenesis are only partially understood. Here, in this study, we found that P2X7R was up-regulated and miR-216b was down-regulated in breast cancer cell lines and tissues. Using bioinformatic analysis and 3′UTR luciferase reporter assay, we determined P2X7R can be directly targeted by miR-216b, which can down-regulate endogenous P2X7R mRNA and protein levels. Ectopic expression of miR-216b mimics leads to inhibited cell growth and apoptosis, while blocking expression of the miR-216b results in increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that knockdown of P2X7R promotes apoptosis in breast cancer cells through down-regulating Bcl-2 and increasing the cleavage caspase-3 protein level. Finally, we confirmed that down-regulation of miR-216b in breast cancer is inversely associated with P2X7R expression level. Together, these findings establish miR-216b as a novel regulator of P2X7R and a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. 相似文献

MicroRNA-181 (miR-181) is a multifaceted miRNA that has been implicated in many cellular processes such as cell fate determination and cellular invasion. While miR-181 is often overexpressed in human tumors, a direct role for this miRNA in breast cancer progression has not yet been characterized. In this study, we found this miRNA to be regulated by both activin and TGFβ. While we found no effect of miR-181 modulation on activin/TGFβ-mediated tumor suppression, our data clearly indicate that miR-181 plays a critical and prominent role downstream of two growth factors, in mediating their pro-migratory and pro-invasive effects in breast cancer cells miR-181 acts as a metastamir in breast cancer. Thus, our findings define a novel role for miR-181 downstream of activin/TGFβ in regulating their tumor promoting functions. Having defined miR-181 as a critical regulator of tumor progression in vitro, our results thus, highlight miR-181 as an important potential therapeutic target in breast cancer. 相似文献
