“…A similar study [37] based on TCGA database analysis also reported 44 upregulated and 14 downregulated miRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma samples with metastasis, and miR-133a expression was significantly associated with OS in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Meanwhile, NSCLC patients with high miR-133a expression had a better prognosis than those with low expression [22,23]. Furthermore, based on our analysis of TCGA data, we found that miR-133a-3p expression had a high diagnostic value for NSCLC.…”

“…As shown in Supplemental Table 2 (www.karger.com/?DOI=492343) , 4 studies provided sufficient OS data for this meta-analysis and 2 studies achieved statistical significance correlating high expression of miR-133a with better survival outcome in NSCLC patients [22,23]; the remaining 2 studies reported no statistical significance in relation to miR-133a expression and survival time [24,25]. The combined HR based on the included studies was 0.561 (95% CI 0.396-0.794, p = 0.001, I 2 = 0%) (fig.…”

“…In the previous meta-analysis [31], no statistical significance was detected for the prognostic value of miR-133a expression in NSCLC, likely due to the limited scale with only 169 patients involved in the 2 included studies [22,25]. Our main aim in the current meta-analysis including 5 original studies with 364 patients [22,23,24,25,26]was to investigate the correlation between miR-133a expression and survival time in NSCLC. We found that miR-133a might serve as a prognostic biomarker, and high expression of miR-133a was also correlated with a better OS outcome for NSCLC patients.…”

“…Likewise, the function of miR-133a in NSCLC is also inconsistent, with increased expression of miR-133a having been linked to favorable survival outcome and prognosis in some studies [22,23] but not others [24,25]. Meanwhile, the correlation of miR-133a with clinicopathologic parameters such as distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis, T stage, and clinical stage is also controversial in NSCLC [23,26]. …”

Background: The role of microRNA-133a (miR-133a) in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) is controversial. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive study based on meta-analysis and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Methods: Publications were searched in both English and Chinese databases, and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0. The clinical value of miR-133a in NSCLC was investigated by collecting and calculating data from the TCGA database, and the statistical analysis was performed in R 3.5.0. Results: 5 studies with 364 cases were included in this meta-analysis. The combined pooled result showed that high expression of miR-133a was associated with a favorable survival outcome in NSCLC patients (hazard ratio 0.561, 95% confidence interval 0.396-0.794, p = 0.001). Meanwhile, a total of 984 NSCLC patients were extracted from the TCGA database. Results showed an area under the ROC curve value for miR-133a-3p of 0.902, and the expression of miR-133a-3p was linked with clinicopathologic parameters of NSCLC (p < 0.05), including sex, age, social status, and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Our study indicated that miR-133a might act as a tumor suppressor and be a valuable independent prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for NSCLC, and NSCLC patients with high expression of miR-133 might have a better prognosis.

Objectives: Asbestos causes lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma in humans, but the precise mechanism has not been well understood. MicroRNA (miRNA) is a short non-coding RNA that suppresses gene expression and participates in human diseases including cancer. In this study, we examined the expression levels of miRNA and potential target genes in lung tissues of asbestosexposed mice by microarray analysis. Methods:We intratracheally administered asbestos (chrysotile and crocidolite, 0.05 or 0.2 mg/instillation) to 6-week-old ICR male mice four times weekly. We extracted total RNA from lung tissues and performed microarray analysis for miRNA and gene expression. We also carried out real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry to confirm the results of microarray analysis.Results: Microarray analysis revealed that the expression levels of 14 miRNAs were significantly changed by chrysotile and/or crocidolite (>2-fold, P < .05).Especially, miR-21, an oncogenic miRNA, was significantly upregulated by both chrysotile and crocidolite. In database analysis, miR-21 was predicted to target tumor suppressor genes programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) and reversioninducing-cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (Reck). Although real-time PCR showed that Pdcd4 was not significantly downregulated by asbestos exposure, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealed that PDCD4 expression was reduced especially by chrysotile. Reck was significantly downregulated by chrysotile in real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry.Conclusions: This is the first study demonstrating that miR-21 was upregulated and corresponding tumor suppressor genes were downregulated in lung tissues of asbestos-exposed animals. These molecular events are considered to be an early response to asbestos exposure and may contribute to pulmonary toxicity and carcinogenesis.

According to recent studies, long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) is involved in the development and progression of many malignant tumors including pancreatic cancer. We validated the detailed role of XIST in human pancreatic cancer (PC) cell lines and PC tissues so as to determine its exact function and the mechanism by which it affected PC proliferation. In our research, lncRNA-XIST was specifically upregulated in PC tissues and cell lines, and high XIST expression in PC was related to poorer prognosis (larger tumor size, perineural invasion, lymph node micrometastases, and shorter overall survival). XIST augmented PC cell proliferation. Recently, the interaction between lncRNA and miRNA has been frequently reported to play major role in several biological processes. In the present study, XIST and miR-133a reciprocally inhibited each other in PC cells. Exogenous miR-133a expression significantly inhibited PC cell proliferation. Moreover, as exhibited by luciferase reporter gene assays, miR-133a bound to XIST and the 3'UTR of EGFR by direct targeting. In PC tissues, miR-133a expression was down-regulated and EGFR expression was up-regulated; miR-133a was inversely correlated with EGFR and XIST, respectively; XIST was positively correlated with EGFR. Taken together, these findings will shed light on the role and mechanism of XIST/miR-133a/EGFR in regulating PC cells proliferation. XIST may serve as a potential therapeutic target in PC in the future. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 3349-3358, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
