Abstract:
:MicroRNA-302a-5p (miR-302a-5p) has been implicated in several cancers; however, its role in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains unknown. In this study, we showed that miR-302a-5p is downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays showed that overexpression of a miR-302a-5p mimic suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation, which was confirmed by the results of a cell cycle assay. Overexpression of miR-302a-5p also reduced the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Additionally, miR-302a-5p overexpression significantly inhibited NSCLC growth and metastasis in a mouse xenograft model. With regard to the underlying mechanism, integrin α6 (ITGA6) mRNA was shown to be a novel target of miR-302a-5p, and overexpression of ITGA6 attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-302a-5p on the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells. In clinical NSCLC samples, miR-302a-5p expression was negatively correlated with ITGA6 expression, which was high in the samples. Collectively, these results indicate that miR-302a-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC by directly targeting ITGA6 mRNA and may be useful as a theranostic biomarker of NSCLC.
