Abstract Numerous studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) are dysregulated in osteosarcoma (OS), implicating miRNAs in OS initiation and progression. Therefore, knowledge of aberrantly expressed miRNAs in OS may provide novel mechanistic insights into the tumorigenesis and tumor development of OS and facilitate therapeutic methods for patients with this aggressive bone neoplasm. In this study, data obtained from reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) revealed that miR-935 was significantly decreased in OS tissues and cell lines. Restoration expression of miR-935 obviously restricted proliferation and invasion of OS cells. In addition, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)… More >

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be involved in many human cancers and tumor progression. The dysregulation of miR-449a is found in many types of malignancies and is associated with tumor growth, migration, and invasion. However, its expression and function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) still remains unclear. In our study, miR-449a was found to be downregulated in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and low miR-449a expression was obviously associated with tumor differentiation, TMN stage, and poor overall survival (OS). Moreover, we demonstrated that miR-449a could inhibit tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion in More >
