MicroRNA‐374b mediates the initiation of non‐small cell lung cancer by regulating ITGB1 and p53 expressions

Background Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of human cancers. This study aims to clarify the role of miR‐374b in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods In this study, RT‐qPCR and western blot analysis were used to measure mRNA and prot...

Description
Summary:Background Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of human cancers. This study aims to clarify the role of miR‐374b in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods In this study, RT‐qPCR and western blot analysis were used to measure mRNA and protein expression. The regulatory mechanism of miR‐374b/ITGB1 was investigated by dual‐luciferase reporter, CCK‐8, and transwell assays. Results MiR‐374b expression was reduced in NSCLC tissues and associated with lymph node metastasis, tumor stage and prognosis in NSCLC patients. Functionally, overexpression of miR‐374b inhibited cell viability and metastasis in NSCLC. In addition, miR‐374b blocked EMT and promoted p53 expression in NSCLC. MiR‐374b was found to directly target ITGB1. Furthermore, upregulation of ITGB1 weakened the antitumor effect of miR‐374b in NSCLC. Conclusions MiR‐374b inhibits the tumorigenesis of NSCLC by downregulating ITGB1 and upregulating p53.
