miR-26a and its target CKS2 modulate cell growth and tumorigenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
<h4>Background</h4>While many studies have shown that levels of miR-26a are lower in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the role and mechanism of miR-26a in PTC are unclear.<h4>Method</h4>We used database searches to select potential mRNA targets of miR-26a. Anti-miR-26a, miR...

| Sumario: | <h4>Background</h4>While many studies have shown that levels of miR-26a are lower in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the role and mechanism of miR-26a in PTC are unclear.<h4>Method</h4>We used database searches to select potential mRNA targets of miR-26a. Anti-miR-26a, miR-26a mimic, siRNA for CKS2 and their effects on cell growth, cell-cycle distribution and colony formation were evaluated. We also evaluate the over-expressed miR-26a in TPC-1 cells in severe combined immune-deficient mice. We used luciferase reporter assays, real-time PCR and western blot analysis to measure the expression and activity of miR-26a, CKS2, and related factors such as cyclin B1, cyclin A, cdk1, bcl-xl and Akt. Finally, we measured the relationship between the levels of miR-26a and CKS2 in PTC and normal thyroid tissues.<h4>Results</h4>Relative to normal thyroid tissues, miR-26a is consistently down-regulated in TPC specimens, and CKS2 was identified as a potential target. Up-regulated miR-26a expression or down-regulated CKS2 expression in TPC-1 and CGTH W3 cells lines caused G2 phase-arrest. Decreased miR-26a expression or increased CKS2 expression could have inverse function on PTC cell lines. CyclinB1, cyclinA, bcl-xl and AKt are indirectly regulated by miR-26a in a CKS2-dependent manner. Finally, CKS2 is overexpressed in PTC specimens relative to normal thyroid tissue, and a significant inverse correlation exists between miR-26a and CKS2 expression in clinical PTC specimens.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our data indicate that miR-26a functions as a growth-suppressive miRNA in PTC, and that its suppressive effects are mediated mainly by repressing CKS2 expression. |
