Our study uncovers a novel molecular mechanism for regulating <i>pd-l1</i> mRNA stability and expression via ATG7/autophagy/FOXO3A/miR-145 axis and reveals the potential for using combination treatment with autophagy inhibitors and PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade to enhance therapeutic efficacy for human BCs.
CircCEP128 and MYD88 were overexpressed in bladder cancer based on microarray analysis and miR-145-5p was a potential targeting factor in bladder cancer.
Circ_0058063 acted as a sponge of miR-145-5p to promote BC progression by regulating CDK6 expression, which provided some potential targets for BC treatment.
Further prognostic analysis showed that circRNA interacted miRNA hsa-miR-106b, hsa-miR-145 and hsa-miR-214 were associated with overall survival in patients with bladder cancer (P < 0.05).
In addition, the high expression of TAGLN2 promoted cell proliferation and migration in BC. miR-145-5p appeared to regulate TAGLN2 in BC, and it also inhibited the cell proliferation and migration.
The results of the present study indicated that miRNA‑145 may function as a tumor suppressor and may have a potential to be a diagnostic and predictive biomarker, and a therapeutic target for treatment of BC.
A Novel Combination RNAi toward Warburg Effect by Replacement with miR-145 and Silencing of PTBP1 Induces Apoptotic Cell Death in Bladder Cancer Cells.
Luciferase assay results showed that miR-145 directly bound to 3'UTR of KLF4, which was shown to be overexpressed in the clinical BC samples using Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional significance of miR-145-3p and BC oncogenic pathways and targets regulated by miR-145-5p/miR-145-3p.
Furthermore, we also observed a positive correlation between lncRNA-UCA1 and ZEB1/2 expression, and a negative correlation between lncRNA-UCA1 and hsa-miR-145 expression in bladder cancer specimens.
Micro-RNA analyses of BC tissue revealed that miR-145 and miR-29c* function as tumor suppressors, whereas miR-183 and miR-17-5p function as oncogenic miRNAs.
By using transwell invasion assay and western blotting analysis, we investigated the effects of miR-145 and PAK1 on bladder cancer cell invasion and expression of invasion marker genes.
Several studies have demonstrated the potential of miRNAs for providing prognostic information. miR-145 is the most frequently downregulated miRNA in bladder cancer and has been shown to significantly inhibit proliferation, migration and invasion.
miR-10b, 19a, 126, 145, 221, 296-5p and 378 were significantly down-regulated in bladder cancer compared to adjacent normal urothelium. miR-145 was the most down-regulated microRNA of this group. miR-19b, 21, 205 and 210 showed no significant difference between the 2 tissue types.
We also demonstrate mRNA co-targeting by a cluster of non-family miRNAs, and suggest miR-145 and PAI-1 as clinically relevant biomarkers in bladder cancer.
