Abstract

microRNAs (miRNAs) were known as transcriptional regulators to regulate the repertoires of target genes during the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-4262 in the process of HCC. Our results showed that miR-4262 is overexpressed in HCC tissues and hepatoma cell lines (HepG2 and Sk-hep-1). We also found that miR-4262 enhanced the process of cell cycle and inhibited the apoptosis leading to promoted cell proliferation and activity. Moreover, the 3'UTR of PDCD4 was complementary to miR-4262 seed region and we confirmed that PDCD4 is the direct target of miR-4262 with 3'UTR luciferase assay. qPCR and WB analysis revealed that the level of PDCD4 was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-4262 in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that miR-4262-promoted cell proliferation was mediated by PDCD4 and miR-4262 can activate the NF-κB pathway to promote the accumulation of nuclear NF-κB/P65. All of these findings suggested miR-4262 may play a role in the development of HCC.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

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.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a malignant cancer in liver epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on Hepatocellular Carcinoma here.

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
