MicroRNA-544 promotes colorectal cancer progression by targeting forkhead box O1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dysregulation of microRNAs has been confirmed to serve an important role in cancer development and progression. However, the role of microRNA (miR)-544 in colorectal cancer progression remains unknown. In the present study, it was observed that the expression level of miR-544 was increased in breast cancer cell lines and tissues using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Overexpression of miR-544 promoted cell proliferation and invasion in colorectal cancer, whereas inhibition of miR-544 suppressed colorectal cancer progression as determined using MTT, colony formation and Transwell assays. Furthermore, forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) was a direct target of miR-544. FOXO1 mediated miR-544-regulated colorectal cancer progression and cell cycle distribution. In conclusion, the results of the present study revealed that miR-544 serves an important role in promoting human colorectal cancer cell progression.

متن کاملThe Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Signaling Pathways Promoting Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Various factors are involved in the development and progression of this disease. One of these agents is cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-2 is a product of the PTGS2 gene and converts free arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. COX-2 is not naturally expressed in most normal cells. Noticeably, the increased expression of COX-2 has been ...
