Abstract

MicroRNA (miR)-494 has been identified as a predictor and inhibitor in pancreatic cancer. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-494 in pancreatic cancer cells, and the regulation of glioma-associated oncogene 3 (Gli3) by miR-494. The mRNA level of Gli3 in 99 pairs of pancreatic cancer and correspondingly adjacent tissues was monitored by qRT-PCR. Correlation of Gli3 expression with miR-494 level was assessed by Pearson χ2 test. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect whether Gli3 was a target of miR-494. Following miR-494 mimics and miR-494 inhibitor transfection, the changes in cell viability and migration were detected by using CCK-8 and Transwell chamber. Furthermore, Gli3 siRNA was co-transfected with miR-494 inhibitor, and then cell viability and migration were redetected. Result showed that, the mRNA level of Gli3 in tumor tissues was higher than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.01). There were 45 in 99 patients with pancreatic cancer expressed Gli3, and significant correlations were observed between the Gli3 level and vascular invasion (P = 0.04), distant metastasis (P = 0.001), and histologic grade (P = 0.03). Gli3 was a direct target of miR-494 (P < 0.01) and it was negatively related by miR-494 (P < 0.01...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.
