چکیده
Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) is a highly expressed anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein in cancer. Therefore, inhibition of its expression induces apoptosis in cancer cells and enhances sensitivity to cancer treatment. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether Mcl-1 affects the oncogenic behaviors of colorectal cancer cells, and to document the relationship of its expression with various clinicopathological parameters in colorectal cancer. Mcl-1 knockdown induced apoptosis by activating cleaved caspase-3 and -9, and increasing the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein, PUMA. Mcl-1 knockdown induced cell cycle arrest by decreasing cyclin D1, CDK4 and 6, and by increasing p27 expression. Mcl-1 knockdown decreased both endothelial cell invasion and tube formation, and decreased the expression of VEGF. The phosphorylation level of STAT3 was decreased by Mcl-1 knockdown. The mean apoptotic index value of Mcl-1 positive tumors was significantly lower than that of Mcl-1 negative tumors. The mean microvessel density value of Mcl-1 positive tumors was significantly higher than that of negative tumors. Mcl-1 expression was significantly increased in colorectal cancer, also associated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor survival. These results indicate Mcl-1 is associated with tumor progression through its inhibition of apoptosis and enhancement of angiogenesis in colorectal cancer.

Background: ncRNAs have been identified as oncogenic drivers and tumor suppressors in any type of cancer. Although many classes of ncRNAs have been reported, most studies have been performed on microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs can regulate several target genes and affect important processes such as homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Located in the p75NTR ge...
