MicroRNA-98-5p inhibits proliferation and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer by targeting TGFBR1.


ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have recently emerged as key regulators of various types of cancer, including non?small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The disrupted expression of miRNAs is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that miR?98?5p is downregulated in NSCLC and that miR?98?5p deficiency is associated with an advanced clinical stage and metastasis. A dual?luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm that transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1), a key stimulator of tumor proliferation and metastasis, was a direct target of miR?98?5p. miR?98?5p overexpression resulted in the downregulation of TGFBR1 and the suppression of the viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells. Furthermore, miR?98?5p was demonstrated to be an efficient suppressor of tumor growth in an A549 subcutaneous xenograft tumor mouse model. Finally, miR?98?5p overexpression exerted a significant anti?metastatic effect in a mouse model of pulmonary metastasis. On the whole, the results of the present study suggest that miR?98?5p/TGFBR1 may serve as promising targets for NSCLC therapy.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have recently emerged as key regulators of various types of cancer, including non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The disrupted expression of miRNAs is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that miR‑98‑5p is downregulated in NSCLC and that miR‑98‑5p deficiency is associated with an advanced clinical stage and metastasis.
