miR-150 Suppresses Tumor Growth in Melanoma Through Downregulation of MYB

miR-150 has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor progression in various human cancers, including colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and thyroid cancer. However, the role of miR-150 in melanoma remains to be determined. In this study, we found that miR-150 was underexpressed in melanoma tissues and cell lines. Through transfection of miR-150 mimics, we found that miR-150 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells. In mechanism, we found that MYB was a target of miR-150 in melanoma cells. Overexpression of miR-150 significantly inhibited mRNA and protein levels of MYB in melanoma cells. Moreover, there was an inverse correlation between the expression of miR-150 and MYB in melanoma tissues. We also showed that MYB was upregulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines. Through functional experiments, we found that restoration of MYB in miR-150-overexpressed melanoma cells rescued the proliferation, migration, and invasion. Therefore, our findings demonstrated that miR-150 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of melanoma cell by downregulating MYB.     

The oncogenic impact of RNF2 on cell proliferation,invasion and migration through EMT on mammary carcinoma

Mammary carcinoma (MC) is one of most common malignancy in women, and ring finger protein 2 (RNF2) possesses various roles in vast human tumors. In MC tissues as well as in cell lines RNF2 exhibited high expression, had significant association with tumor size, lymph node status, TNM stage, patients’ poor survival, and promoted cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration and invasion of MC cell lines which was mediated by downregulation of E-cadherin protein. These data reveal that RNF2 protein plays a vital role in the development of MC and may be a potential therapy target of MC.     

肿瘤相关巨噬细胞促进宫颈癌侵袭转移的机制研究

 目的 研究肿瘤相关巨噬细胞（tumor-associated macrophages, TAMs）对宫颈癌侵袭转移的影响及分子机制。方法 免疫组织化学法检测宫颈病变组织TAMs的浸润情况。对人单核巨噬细胞系THP1进行体外诱导分化，使其转化为M2型TAMs。取TAMs上清液刺激宫颈癌细胞SiHa和C33a。划痕法、Transwell法分别检测TAMs对宫颈癌细胞系迁移和侵袭能力的影响。Western blot检测刺激后宫颈癌细胞上皮间质转化进程及MMP-9的表达。结果 TAMs浸润数目与宫颈病变进展呈正相关。TAMs上清液刺激后，SiHa和C33a细胞出现间质样改变，而且迁移和侵袭能力显著增强（均P<0.5）。TAMs可下调E-Cadherin的表达，上调N-Cadherin、Vimentin及MMP-9的表达。结论 TAMs浸润与宫颈上皮恶性转化和进展密切相关，TAMs可能通过上调MMP-9的表达促进宫颈癌细胞侵袭转移。     

miR-363-3p Inhibits Osteosarcoma Cell Proliferation and Invasion via Targeting SOX4

miR-363-3p has been shown to suppress tumor growth and metastasis in various human cancers. However, the function of miR-363-3p in osteosarcoma (OS) has not been determined. In our study, we found that the expression of miR-363-3p was significantly downregulated in OS tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. miR-363-3p expression was associated with the poor overall survival rate of OS patients. Moreover, we found that overexpression of miR-363-3p markedly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of U2OS and MG63 cells. Moreover, we found that SOX4 was a direct target of miR-363-3p in OS cells. Overexpression of miR-363-3p significantly inhibited the expression of SOX4. Expression levels of miR-363-3p and SOX4 were negatively correlated in OS tissues. Finally, we found that restoration of SOX4 attenuated the suppressive effects of miR-363-3p on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of U2OS and MG63 cells. Therefore, our findings demonstrated that miR-363-3p served as a tumor suppressor in OS tissues by targeting SOX4.
