Abstract

MicroRNA‑7 (miR‑7) is a non‑coding RNA that inhibits colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation, migration and invasion. miR‑7 effectively silences TYRO3 expression, and the close association between TYRO3 and CRC has previously been reported. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the roles and molecular mechanisms of TYRO3 and miR‑7 in the development of CRC. The expression levels of miR‑7 and TYRO3 in CRC tissues and cell lines were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A dual‑luciferase reporter assay was also performed to confirm whether TYRO3 was a target of miR‑7. The effect of miR‑7 and TYRO3 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion was detected in vitro with MTT, wound healing and cell invasion assays, respectively. The expression of proteins associated with the phosphoinositide 3‑kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway was detected by western blot analysis. The results indicated that the expression of miR‑7 was downregulated and the levels of TYRO3 were gradually increased in CRC tissues and cell lines. TYRO3 was identified as a functional target of miR‑7, and its expression was negatively regulated by miR‑7 in CRC cell lines. The fun...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer. Discover the latest research on cell signaling and RTK 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.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.
