Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Notably, miR-155-5p is one of the most amplified miRNAs in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, the role of miR-155-5p in lung cancer metastasis has not been fully evaluated. In the present study, miR-155-5p mimic and inhibitor were used to investigate the effects of miR-155-5p on the metastasis of human lung carcinoma A549 cells. The study indicated that transfection of miR-155-5p mimic significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells, whereas its inhibition significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic application of miR-155-5p in controlling lung cancer metastasis. Moreover, transfection of miR-155-5p mimic suppressed the expression of Smad2/3, ZEB1, ZEB2 and N-cadherin and induced that of E-cadherin, whereas its inhibition significantly upregulated the expression of Smad2/3, ZEB1, ZEB2 and N-cadherin and downregulated that of E-cadherin. Collectively, the findings suggest that miR-155-5p suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells. Therefore, loss of miR-155-5p may serve an essential role in tumorigenesis and tumour...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.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
