Abstract

MiR-195-5p has been shown to have a regulatory role in a variety of cancers. Its influence on colorectal cancer (CRC), however, has never been evaluated. In the present study, we found that miR-195-5p expression was significantly decreased as compared to paired, tumor-adjacent normal colorectal tissues. We demonstrated that miR-195-5p inhibited the stem-like capacity of CRC cells. We established 5-FU-resistant SW620 and HT-29 cell lines and performed a variety of functional assays following exposure to miR-195-5p and anti-miR-195-5p. In 5-FU-resistant cells, expression of miR-195-5p, P-gp and ABCG2 was decreased. MiR-195-5p significantly increased cancer cell apoptosis and decreased tumor sphere formation. In order to determine the mechanism by which miR-195-5p reduced CRC cell stemness and chemoresistance, we first identified potential targets of miR-195-5p. The 3' UTR of Notch signaling proteins Notch2 and RBPJ, which are essential genes in CRC cell stemness and chemoresistance, possessed double putative binding sites of miR-195-5p. qRT-PCR and western blot assays demonstrated significant decreases in Notch2 and RBPJ when CRC cell lines were exposed to miR-195-5p and significant increases when exposed to anti-miR-195-5p.

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

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.
