Abstract

Glioma causes significant mortality worldwide. The currently available treatment strategies are flawed and the therapeutic targets are limited. Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRs) are involved in the development and progression of different cancers. Herein, the therapeutic potential of miR-9 was explored in human glioma cells. The qRT-PCR was used for expression analysis. WST-1 assay was used for determination of cell viability. Acridine orange (AO) / ethidium promide (EB) and annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) were used for the detection of apoptosis. Flow cytometry was used for cell cycle analysis. Wound healing and transwell assays were used to monitor cell migration and invasion. Protein expression was determined by western blot analysis. The results showed that miR-9 is significantly downregulated in glioma cells. Overexpression of miR-9 caused significant inhibition in the proliferation of U87 glioma cells. The miR-9-triggered growth inhibition was mainly due to the induction of apoptosis which was concomitant with increase in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Overexpression of miR-9 also induced arrest of U87 glioma cells at G2/M checkpoint of cell cycle. Additionally, transwell and wound healing assays showed that miR-...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.

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

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.

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.
