MicroRNA‑542‑3p represses OTUB1 expression to inhibit migration and invasion of esophageal cancer cells.

Abstract:

:Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is involved in the pathogenesis of esophageal cancer. miRNA (miR)‑542‑3p is a tumor suppressor in multiple types of cancer. However, whether and how miR‑542‑3p contributes to the progression of esophageal cancer remains unknown, and this is the aim of the present study. In the current study, decreased expression of miR‑542‑3p was detected in tumor tissues compared with normal tissues from patients with esophageal cancer, and miR‑542‑3p expression was negatively correlated with mRNA expression levels of ovarian tumor domain‑containing ubiquitin aldehyde‑binding protein 1 (OTUB1) in tumor tissues from patients with esophageal cancer. In KYSE150 human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells, overexpression of miR‑542‑3p significantly decreased OTUB1 at mRNA and protein levels, whereas downregulation of miR‑542‑3p significantly increased OTUB1 expression. Using a dual‑luciferase assay, OTUB1 was validated to be a target gene of miR‑542‑3p in KYSE150 cells. Functionally, miR‑542‑3p significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of KYSE150 cells by repression of OTUB1 expression. These results demonstrated that miR‑542‑3p may promote the metastasis of esophageal cancer cells, and indicated that miR‑542‑3p may be a treatment target for esophageal cancer.

  • microRNA‑202 suppresses MYCN expression under the control of E2F1 in the neuroblastoma cell line LAN‑5.

    abstract::microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non‑coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to the untranslated regions (UTRs) of target mRNAs. Bioinformatic software predicted that MYCN, a gene overexpressed in aggressive neuroblastoma cells, is a target gene of miRNA‑202 (miR‑202) and that the promoter region of miR‑202 c...
