Abstract

Forkhead box F2 transcription factor (FoxF2) has been described to promote organ development, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and epithelial-mesenchymal interaction. Although recent studies reported decreased FoxF2 expression in several types of cancers, indicating its potential role in carcinogenesis, the mechanistic role of FoxF2 is yet to be explored. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are strongly implicated in carcinogenesis. The oncogenetic properties of miR-182 have been described in multiple cancers. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-182 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and identify the regulation of FoxF2 by miR-182. Bioinformatic analyses on gene expression profiling datasets showed decreased FoxF2 expression in colorectal adenomas, primary tumors compared to normal colon epithelial and a negative association between FoxF2 and β-catenin expression. Restoration of FoxF2 in CRC cells suppressed β-catenin expression and simultaneously inhibited cell growth and invasion. Furthermore, we observed that miR-182 was aberrantly upregulated in CRC. Knockdown of miR-182 in CRC cells impeded cell growth and invasion. The direct binding of miR-182 to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of FoxF2 mRNA was confirmed using a...Continue Reading

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.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.
