miR‑21‑5p induces cell proliferation by targeting TGFBI in non‑small cell lung cancer cells

Abstract: The mortality rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains high worldwide. miR-21-5p plays an important part in many cancer types, including NSCLC. However, the effect of miR-21-5p in NSCLC tumorigenesis remains poorly understood. The present study investigated whether miR-21-5p promoted NSCLC cell proliferation in vitro. In order to study the molecular mechanism by which miR-21-5p contributes to NSCLC progression, three bioinformatics algorithms were used to predict the genes which miR-21-5p targeted. T… Show more

“…Also, it was reported that miR-21 targets transforming growth factor b-induced gene (TGFB1), which encodes the same protein with recognized functions in cell proliferation. Specifically, in A549 cells TGFB1 overexpression reduces cell proliferation and overexpression of miR-21 decreases TGFB1 levels, thus promoting aberrant cell proliferation and highlighting the function of miR-21 as an oncomiR in NSCLC (75). Also, there is solid evidence that miR-21 regulates radiosensitivity in lung cancer cells, and the mechanism reported by Jiang et al indicate the interference with PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling by inhibiting the transcription of pathway programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) gene (76) (Figure 6).…”

“…Previous studies have shown that miR-21-5p is significantly increased in NSCLC cell lines and tissues (20)(21)(22); this is positively associated with tumor size, metastasis and poor prognosis of patients with NSCLC (23,24), indicating the oncogenic properties of miR-21-5p. miR-21-5p has been shown to promote NSCLC cell proliferation in vitro (23,25). However, the involvement and mechanisms of miR-21-5p in NSCLC metastasis have yet to be fully elucidated.…”

“…The FASN-3'-UTRluciferase assay was successfully performed to validate the ability of miR-150-5p to target FASN in the mice experiment 52 . MiR-21 was able to induce the tumor growth by targeting TGFBI in non-small cell lung cancer cells 53 and pancreatic cancer cells 54 , demonstrating the relative stability of our predictions though experimental investigation in BLCA is demanded.…”
