Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve important roles in regulating malignant phenotype in numerous cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the role and function of miR-577 in NSCLC remains unknown. In the present study, miR-577 expression levels were observed to be downregulated in NSCLC via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay, and inhibited cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition progress in NSCLC cells. The predicted target genes of miR-577 were determined by enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter assay, RT-qPCR and western blot analyses. miR-577 was demonstrated to suppress the expression of WNT2B by targeting the 3'-untranslated region of WNT2B mRNA in H522 and A549 cells. WNT2B was upregulated in NSCLC cells as observed via RT-qPCR analysis, and the malignant phenotype of H522 and A549 cells were promoted by WNT2B overexpression. In addition, miR-577 inactivated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by targeting WNT2B in NSCLC cells. Collectively, miR-577 may function as a suppressor gene by directly downregulatingWNT2B mRNA and protein expression levels in H522 and A549 cells, and may serve important roles in the malignancy of N...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.

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.

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.

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.
