Therefore, our data suggest that circHIPK3 regulates the function of NSCLCs through miR-149-mediated FOXM1 expression regulation, potentially providing a novel insight into the pathogenesis of NSCLC.
In conclusion, our findings clarified the biologic significance of the HNF1A-AS1/miR-149-5p/Cdk6 axis in NSCLC progression and provided novel evidence that HNF1A-AS1 may be a new potential therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC.
In summary, the present study indicated that downregulation of miR-149 in NSCLC predicted poor clinical outcomes. miR-149 suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in NSCLC by inhibiting the FOXM1/cyclin D1/MMP2 signaling pathway.
These results suggest that miR-149 and miR-196a may be involved in the pathogenesis of NSCLC, and that rs2292832 and rs11614913 can be used as prognostic markers for patients with surgically resected early-stage NSCLC.
Here, we evaluated 101 paired samples (cancer and normal tissues) from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients to study the genotype distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miR-146a (rs2910164 C-G), miR-149 (rs2292832 C-T), miR-196a2 (rs11614913 C-T) and miR-499 (rs3746444 G-A) and their influence on the expression of respective miRNAs.
