Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRs) function as oncogenes and tumor suppressors, and have roles in most cellular processes. To date, the possible role of miR-27a, which is part of the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster, in malignant gliomas has remained elusive. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the role of miR-27a in glioma and its potential target. Through transfection with miR-27a inhibitor or oligonucleotide mimics, the impact of miR-27a silencing or overexpression on the growth, apoptosis, cell cycle and invasiveness of U251 and U87MG cells was examined in vitro. The present study initially identified the potential target of miR-27a in glioma cells through a bioinformatics analysis, which was used for screening of the literature on the proteomics of gliomas. Prohibitin (PHB) was then confirmed as a target by absolute luciferase reporter assays, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Treatment with miR-27a mimics oligonucleotides suppressed U251 cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis by inducing G2/M phase arrest, and impaired the invasive potential of U251 cells in vitro. In addition, miR-27a expression was downregulated in glioma tissues. A PHB-3'-untranslated region luciferase reporter assay confirmed...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
