miR‐29a suppresses tristetraprolin, which is a regulator of epithelial polarity and metastasis

Abstract

Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been described as crucial regulators of epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis. By comparing the expression profiles of miRNAs, we found upregulation of miR‐29a in mesenchymal, metastatic RasXT cells relative to epithelial EpRas cells. Overexpression of miR‐29a suppressed the expression of tristetraprolin (TTP), a protein involved in the degradation of messenger RNAs with AU‐rich 3′‐untranslated regions, and led to EMT and metastasis in cooperation with oncogenic Ras signalling. We also observed enhanced miR‐29a and reduced TTP levels in breast cancer patient samples, indicating relevance for human disease. Previously, miR‐29 family members were shown to have tumour‐suppressive effects in haematopoietic, cholangiocytic and lung tumours. Therefore, miRNAs can act as either oncogenes or tumour suppressors, depending on the context.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
