Abstract

Significance: Aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression is involved in tumorigenesis, and miR-224 was observed to be up-regulated in certain tumor types. However, the role of miR-224 in the pathogenesis of lung cancer remains poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively analyzed and revealed mechanisms of miR-224 up-regulation and its oncogenic role in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We showed that miR-224 promotes cellular migratory, invasive, and proliferative capacity and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we identified TNFα-induced protein 1 and SMAD4 as targets of miR-224 . In addition, up-regulated miR-224 expression in NSCLC is partially controlled by its promoter region’s hypomethylation and activated ERK signaling. Our finding suggests that targeting miR-224 might be a promising therapeutic strategy in the treatment of NSCLC.

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.
