The Roles of MicroRNAs in the Cancer Invasion-Metastasis Cascade

Abstract: Cancer metastasis results from a multi-step cascading process that includes: 1) vascularization of the primary tumor; 2) detachment and invasion of cancer cells; 3) intravasation into lymphatic and blood vessels; 4) survival and arrest in the circulation; 5) extravasation into distant organs; and 6) colonization and growth of metastatic tumors. microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in this multi-step process, both promoting and suppressing metastasis. This review updates the progress made in understanding the… Show more

“…The metastatic process of cancer cells is complicated and consists of multiple steps, including detachment, local invasion, motility, angiogenesis, extravasation, and growth in distant organs (2). Better elucidating the mechanisms of metastasis is important for improving the therapeutic efficiencies of gastric cancer (1,2).…”

Better elucidating the mechanisms of metastasis is important for improving the therapeutic efficiencies of gastric cancer (1,2). v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog 1 (Ets1) is a member of the Ets transcription factor family that participates in the migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of cancer cells (3).…”

“…The upregulation of HIST1H4 can be associated with increased Notch1 stimulation, again connected to cancer metastasis, together with angiogenesis and NF-B production [30,44]; NF-B in turn contributes to the progression of colorectal cancer by regulating cell proliferation, angiogenesis and tumor metastasis [45]. Micro-RNA's block mRNA translation and thus impede the synthesis of specific proteins by recruiting the micro-RNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC) to target mRNAs [46]; downregulation of micro-RNA 222 and 644a thus increases KIT and -actin protein expression, respectively, thereby promoting endothelial cell proliferation and migration (angiogenesis) [36,47] and tumor cell invasiveness and motility [34]. -actin can be upregulated through the IL-6 receptor pathway as well: the increased IL-6 expression after quorum sensing peptide treatment, as observed with our cytokine array, activates -actin phosphorylation, again promoting tumor cell migration [48].…”

“…MicroRNA 222 is also highly expressed in endothelial cells, possessing anti-angiogenic properties through its targets c-kit (mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kit, CD117), p27Kip1, p57Kip2 (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C) and cyclin G1 [36]. The downregulation after quorum sensing peptide addition thus initiates angiogenesis.…”
