Özet |
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway plays crucial roles during the carcinogenesis and metastasis. TGF-β receptor 2 (TGFBR2) is a key molecule for the regulation of TGF-β pathway and frequently downregulated or lost in several cancer types including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and TGF-β pathway is often regulated by negative-feedback mechanisms, but little is known about the mechanism of TGFBR2 downregulation in NSCLC. Here, we found that the expression of miR-520e is upregulated in metastatic tumor tissues compared with non-metastatic ones, and its expression is inversely correlated with that of TGFBR2 in clinical samples. We also discovered that TGF-β dramatically increased the expression of miR-520e, which targeted and downregulated TGFBR2, and the suppression of miR-520e significantly impaired TGF-β-induced TGFBR2 downregulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR experiments further showed that miR-520e is transcriptionally induced by SMAD2/3 in response to TGF-β. Our findings reveal a novel negative-feedback mechanism in TGF-β signaling and the expression level of miR-520e could be a predictive biomarker for NSCLC metastasis. |
