Abstract

To clarify the relative expression and molecular function of microRNA (miR)-145 in esophageal cancer and understand its mechanistic involvement in this disease. The relative expression of miR-145 in clinical samples was analyzed using the public GSE43732 dataset. The prognostic analysis with respect to miR-145 expression was performed with Kaplan-Meier plot. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the anchorage-independent growth was evaluated by soft agar assay. The migration and invasion of esophageal cancer cells were measured using transwell chamber. The regulatory effect of miR-145 on SMAD5 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The endogenous SMAD5 protein was measured by Western blot. We demonstrated high expression of miR-145 associated with late stage and unfavorable prognosis of esophageal cancer. Ectopic expression of miR-145 mimic significantly stimulated cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Furthermore, high level of miR-145 significantly promoted both migration and invasion in vitro. Notably, we identified SMAD5 as direct target of miR-145, the suppressed expression of which consequently led to increased cell proliferation and migration/invasion. Our study uncovered the crucial role...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
