Abstract

Glioma is a common and fatal intracranial tumor. Both miR-377 and lncRNA MEG3 are tumor suppressors. This study was performed to investigate the association between miR-377 and lncRNA MEG3 in glioma cells. U118 and U251 cell lines were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with miR-377 mimics, MEG3 siRNA (si-MEG3) and/or MEG3 overexpression plasmids (pc-MEG3) for 48 h. Cell migration, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution and the expression of E26 tansformation-specific-1 (ETS-1), phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), E-cadherin, N-cadherin and β-catenin were detected. MiR-377 mimics increased MEG3 expression and decreased the number of migrated and invaded U118 and U251 cells, without influence on apoptosis in both cell lines. Si-MEG3 transfection increased U118 cell migration and invasion and rescued miR-377 mimics-induced inhibitory in cell migration and invasion. Si-MEG3 decreased U118 cell apoptosis and induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and pc-MEG3 increased U251 cell apoptosis via arresting cell cycle at G2/M phage. MiR-377 mimics and si-MEG3 increased the relative expression level of N-cadherin mRNA, and both si-MEG3 and pc-MEG3 increased E-cadherin in glioma cells. MiR-377 mimics increase...Continue Reading

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. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins 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
