MicroRNA-18a-5p functions as an oncogene by directly targeting IRF2 in lung cancer

Abstract: Lung cancer is the major form of cancer resulting in cancer-related mortality around the world. MicroRNAs are endogenous small non-coding single-stranded RNAs, which can engage in the regulation of gene expression. In this study, miR-18a-5p significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and NSCLC cell lines, suggesting an oncogenic function in lung cancer. Additionally, miR-18a-5p can promote carcinogenesis by directly targeting interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2). Further experiment… Show more

“…4A, by comparing the correlations of predicted target genes versus nontarget genes, we identified 19 miRNAs as potential key regulators across cancer types by using the KS-testbased approach (see Methods). The top two frequently observed miRNAs is hsa-miR-18a-5p (in seven cancer types), which has been reported to function as an oncogene in renal cell carcinoma (17) and lung cancer (18) and hsa-miR-532-5p (in five cancer types), a tumor suppressor in liver cancer (19). These results supported their regulatory roles in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma (Fig.…”

“…For instance, miR-494 suppressed the proliferation and induced apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells, through negatively regulating the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 oncogene (18). By contrast, several highly expressed miRNAs function as oncogenes during tumor development by repressing tumor suppressor genes (19)(20)(21). For instance, miR-130a enhances the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by targeting transforming growth factor β receptor (TGFβR) 2 (22).…”

“…In this study, we demonstrated that MT1JP bound to miR-18a-5p to facilitate the expression of FBP1. MiR-18a-5p belongs to miR-17-92 cluster, plays tumor-promoting roles in colorectal cancer, lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma cells [15][16][17]. However, one study reported that miR-18a-5p was downregulated in breast cancer tissues, and inhibited migration and invasion in breast cancer cells [18].…”
