Further cellular behavioral experiments demonstrated that DNACR promoted ROCK1-meidated proliferation and metastasis through decoying both miR-335-5p and miR-1972.
Furthermore, the expression levels of miR-335 were significantly lower in HCC tumors with distant metastasis compared to those without distant metastasis (P=0.02).
In conclusion, our data suggest that miR-335 plays a significant role in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of OS and may serve as a therapeutic target for OS treatment.
In conclusion, our results demonstrate that miR-335 functions as a tumor suppressor and play a role in inhibiting metastasis of CRC cells through targeting ZEB2.
In conclusion, our results suggest that miR-335-5p and miR-15b-5p down-regulation results in TRIM29 over-expression, which induces proliferation, EMT and metastasis of NPC through the PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
In multivariate survival analysis, clinical stage (P=0.002 for DFS, P=0.015 for OS), distant metastasis (P=0.024 for DFS, P=0.002 for OS), low expression of miR-335 (P<0.001 for DFS, P=0.002 for OS) and combined depressed miR-335 and elevated Rock1 (P=0.021 for DFS, P=0.050 for OS) expression remained as the independent prognostic factors for DFS and OS.
Moreover, cells were co-transfected with miR-335 inhibitor and Twist1 siRNA, and then cell growth and metastasis were re-evaluated. miR-335 overexpression inhibited cell viability, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptotic cells rate. miR-335 overexpression up-regulated E-Cadherin, while down-regulated N-Cadherin, Vimentin and Snail.
Next, SGC-7901 cells presenting with the lowest LINC00319 expression and the highest <i>miR-335-5p</i> expression were transfected with LINC00319, <i>miR-335-5p</i> inhibitor or <i>ADCY3</i> vector to examine their roles in growth and metastasis of GC cells, which was further ascertained by <i>in vivo</i> experiments.
Of these microRNAs, miR-126 restoration reduces overall tumour growth and proliferation, whereas miR-335 inhibits metastatic cell invasion. miR-335 regulates a set of genes whose collective expression in a large cohort of human tumours is associated with risk of distal metastasis. miR-335 suppresses metastasis and migration through targeting of the progenitor cell transcription factor SOX4 and extracellular matrix component tenascin C. Expression of miR-126 and miR-335 is lost in the majority of primary breast tumours from patients who relapse, and the loss of expression of either microRNA is associated with poor distal metastasis-free survival. miR-335 and miR-126 are thus identified as metastasis suppressor microRNAs in human breast cancer.
Our previous study has indicated that miR-335-5p expression was significantly down-regulated and acted as a vital player in the metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however the underlying mechanism remained unclear.
Overexpression of miR-335 suppressed gastric cancer cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo, but has no significant effects on cell proliferation.
Performing a PCR array on cells transfected with miR-335, 19 (30.6%) out of 62 genes involved in metastasis and tumor invasion showed decreased transcription levels.
Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase l (ROCK1) is characterized as pivotal downstream effectors of the small GTPase RhoA and reported to participate in tumor metastasis. miR-335-5p acts as tumor suppressor microRNA and is identified to be downregulated in tumor tissues. miR-335-5p/ROCK1 axis has been demonstrated to promote cell proliferation and metastasis in gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and so on.
Specific miRNAs (mir-10, mir-21, mir-155, mir-373, mir-30b, mir-126, mir-17p, mir-335) are associated with tumor metastasis and other clinical characteristics for BC, facilitating identification of individuals who are at risk.
The aim of the paper was to study the expression of miR335 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and miR335's relation to the metastasis, invasion, and apoptosis in lung cancer cells A549 and H1299. qRT-PCR was used to identify the miR-335 expression.
Turning to its clinical significance, the low expression of miR-335 was significantly associated with high Gleason Score (P = 0.04), advanced clinical stage (P = 0.04), and positive metastasis (P = 0.02), but not with prognosis in PCa patients.
