Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly invasive, and an increasing number of studies report that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in CRC cell invasion and metastasis. However, these studies focus on miRNAs with clear functional targets, often overlooking obscure miRNAs. Using TCGA data analysis, we compared differentially expressed miRNAs in colon and rectal adenocarcinoma (stages N0 and N1/N2) to identify miRNAs involved in invasion and metastasis; one identified candidate miRNA was miR-7702. Bioinformatics analysis identified TADA1 as a possible target gene of miR-7702. The relationship between TADA1 and miR-7702 was analyzed using the Oncomine database, CRC tissues at different stages, and CRC cell lines with different metastatic properties. We used a dual luciferase-reporter assay to verify the interaction between miR-7702 and TADA1. We altered miR-7702 and TADA1 expression levels using transfection, and measured cell migration and invasion abilities. The results revealed a negative correlation between miR-7702 and TADA1 in CRC. miR-7702 was significantly downregulated in human CRC cell lines with high invasion capacity. Its overexpression suppressed human CRC cell migration and invasion by directly inhibiting TADA1. This regulat...Continue Reading
