miR-155 regulates the proliferation and cell cycle of colorectal carcinoma cells by targeting E2F2

Abstract: MicroRNAs play important roles in carcinogenesis by negatively regulating the expression of target genes. Here we explore the biological function of miR-155 and the underlying mechanism in colorectal carcinoma. We validate, for the first time, that E2F2 is a direct target of miR-155 using western blot and a luciferase reporter assay and that miR-155 regulates the proliferation and cell cycle of colorectal carcinoma cells by targeting E2F2 using siRNA technology. We also found, for the first, time that E2F2 act… Show more

“…In addition, it contributed to the proliferation of prostate cancer cells via targeting annexin 7 (23). Furthermore, miR-155 was shown to regulate the proliferation and cell cycle distribution of colorectal cancer cells by targeting E2F transcription factor 2 (27). Each miRNA can have multiple targets, which vary depending on the cell type in which a given miRNA is expressed.…”

“…The ratio between the net intensity of each sample divided by the β-actin internal control was calculated as densitometric arbitrary units (A.U.)) which served as an index of relative expression of a protein of interest [42, 44]. …”

“…Upregulation of miR-155 has also been found in several other types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and lymphoma. [62][63][64] miR-210 has been reported to function as an oncogene and have applications as a potential serum biomarker in RCC. Interestingly, miR-210 has been reported to be a hypoxia-inducible miRNA.…”
