MiR-29b-1 expression impaired Cancer Stem-Like properties of human osteosarcoma 3AB-OS cells in vitro.
2013
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common type of bone cancer, with a peak incidence in the early childhood. Emerging evidence suggests that treatments targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) within a tumor can halt cancer and improve patient survival. Although microRNAs are frequently dysregulated in human cancers, if they influence OS malignancy and whether or not targeting CSC-associated microRNAs inhibit OS progression remain unclear. Recently (1), we described a predictive network for two downregulated miRNA family (let-7/98 and miR-29a,b,c) and their upregulated anticorrelated mRNAs. Here, we investigated in vitro the role of miR-29b-1 in regulating cell proliferation, clonogenic growth and che…
Suppressive role exerted by microRNA-29b-1-5p in triple negative breast cancer through SPIN1 regulation
2017
MiR-29 family dysregulation occurs in various cancers including breast cancers. We investigated miR-29b-1 functional role in human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) the most aggressive breast cancer subtype. We found that miR-29b-1-5p was downregulated in human TNBC tissues and cell lines. To assess whether miR- 29b-1-5p correlated with TNBC regenerative potential, we evaluated cancer stem cell enrichment in our TNBC cell lines, and found that only MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 produced primary, secondary and tertiary mammospheres, which were progressively enriched in OCT4, NANOG and SOX2 stemness genes. MiR-29b-1-5p expression inversely correlated with mammosphere stemness potential, and miR-29b…
