MiR-203 Determines Poor Outcome and Suppresses Tumor Growth by Targeting TBK1 in Osteosarcoma.

چکیده
BACKGROUND/AIMS Increasing evidence has shown that miR-203 plays important role in human cancer progression. However, little is known about the function of miR-203 in osteosarcoma (OS). METHODS The expression of miR-203 in OS tissues and cell lines were examined by qRT-PCR. The biological role of miR-20 in OS cell proliferation was examined in vitro and in vivo. The targets of miR-203 were identified by a luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS miR-203 was down regulated in OS tissues and cell lines; decreased miR-203 was associated with a poor overall survival in OS patients. Restoration of miR-203 expression reduced cell growth in vitro and suppressed tumorigenicity in vivo. In contrast, inhibition of miR-203 stimulated OS cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) was identified as a direct target of miR-203; overexpression of TBK1 partly reversed the suppressive effects of miR-203. Furthermore, TBK1 was found up-regulated and inversely correlated with miR-203 in OS tissues. CONCLUSION Taken together, these findings suggest that miR-203 acts as a tumor suppressor via regulation of TBK1 expression in OS progression, and miR-203 may be a promising therapeutic target for OS.

MicroRNA-203 suppresses gastric cancer growth by targeting PIBF1/Akt signaling
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proved involved in many tumorigenic behaviors including tumor growth. But, the clinical significance and functions of miRNA-203 in gastric cancer (GC) remain elusive. RESULTS Decreased expression of miRNA-203 was correlated with tumor size, poor prognosis and recurrence in GC patients. Overexpression of miR-203 or knockdown of its target progesterone im...
متن کاملMicroRNA-144 suppresses osteosarcoma growth and metastasis by targeting ROCK1 and ROCK2
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary tumor of bone. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenously expressed small non-coding RNAs that are strongly implicated in cancerous processes. However, our current understanding of the biological role of miRNAs in OS remains incomplete. In the present study, miR-144 was markedly downregulated in OS cell lines and clinical specimens. Low-level exp...

Dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in osteosarcoma (OS) progression. In the present study, we investigate the clinical significance of serum miR-491 level and the potential role of miR-491 in OS lung metastasis and chemoresistance. Clinical data show that the level of miR-491 was decreased in serum from OS patients compared with healthy control subjects, and that a decreased...

MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs and have key roles in various cancer types. Recently, miR-503 has been reported to act as a tumor suppressor in osteosarcoma. However, the detailed mechanism of the regulatory role of miR-503 in osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion has largely remained elusive. The present study found that miR-503 was significantly downregulated in o...
