analyse the association of APC gene mutation and miR-21 expression with clinical outcome in CRC patients; APC gene mutation and expression of APC and miR-21 were analysed by direct DNA sequencing and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; APC gene expression was low in CRC and negatively correlated with miR-21 expression and gene mutation; In Taiwan downregulation of the APC gene in CRC correlated with gene mutation and miR-21 upregulation; APC mutation and miR-21 expression could be used to predict the clinical outcome of CRC especially in patients with advanced disease;MicroRNA 21 promotes tumour malignancy via increased nuclear translocation of β catenin and predicts poor outcome in APC mutated but not in APC wild type colorectal cancer; However in our preliminary data the prognostic value of miR-21 levels was observed only in adenomatous polyposis coli APC-mutated tumours not in APC-wild-type tumours; We enrolled 165 colorectal tumour to determine APC mutation miR-21 levels and nuclear β-catenin expression by direct sequencing real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry staging; colorectal cancer;colorectal cancer hsa-miR-21-5p APH1B

up-regulation could be achieved by miR-21 overexpression which prevented T24 cells from apoptosis induced by doxorubicin; Furthermore the miR-21 induced BCL-2 up-regulation could be cancelled by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002;Meanwhile miR-21 loss reduced STAT3 and Bcl-2 activation causing an increase in the apoptosis of tumour cells in CAC mice;Changes in the sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells to CDDP were examined after transfection with miR-21 mimics or anti-miR-21 or bcl-2 siRNA in combination with CDDP;Resveratrol induces apoptosis of pancreatic cancers cells by inhibiting miR 21 regulation of BCL 2 expression; We also used Western blot to measure BCL-2 protein levels after down-regulation of miR-21 expression; Besides down-regulation of miR-21 expression can inhibit BCL-2 expression in PANC-1 CFPAC-1 and MIA Paca-2 cells; Over-expression of miR-21 expression can reverse down-regulation of BCL-2 expression and apoptosis induced by resveratrol; In this study we demonstrated that the effect of resveratrol on apoptosis is due to inhibiting miR-21 regulation of BCL-2 expression;Tumors harvested from these lungs have elevated levels of oncogenic miRNAs miR-21 and miR-155; are deficient for p53-regulated miRNAs; and have heightened expression of miR-34 target genes such as Met and Bcl-2;Bcl 2 upregulation induced by miR 21 via a direct interaction is associated with apoptosis and chemoresistance in MIA PaCa 2 pancreatic cancer cells; However the roles and mechanisms of miRNA miR-21 in regulation of Bcl-2 in pancreatic cancer remain to be elucidated; Then luciferase activity was observed after miR-21 mimics and pRL-TK plasmids containing wild-type and mutant 3'UTRs of Bcl-2 mRNA were co-transfected; Cells transfected with miR-21 inhibitor revealed an opposite trend. There was a significant increase in luciferase activity in the cells transfected with the wild-type pRL-TK plasmid in contrast to those transfected with the mutant one indicating that miR-21 promotes Bcl-2 expression by binding directly to the 3'UTR of Bcl-2 mRNA; Upregulation of Bcl-2 directly induced by miR-21 is associated with apoptosis chemoresistance and proliferation of MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells ;;;;;;drug resistance breast cancer;bladder cancer;colorectal cancer;sarcoma;pancreatic cancer;lung cancer;pancreatic cancer

were much higher than those without mutation;Thus the miR-21 inhibitor might interrupt the activity of EGFR pathways independently of PTEN status;Further the expression of miR-21 is regulated by EGFR via the activation of β-catenin and AP-1; These data indicate that a feedback loop exists between miR-21 and EGFR; These results clarify a novel association between miR-21 and EGFR in the regulation of cancer cell progression;MiR 21 overexpression is associated with acquired resistance of EGFR TKI in non small cell lung cancer;Higher expression levels of miR-21 AmiR-27a and miR-218 detected in this study suggest potential roles of these miRNAs in primary resistance to EGFR-TKI in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion mutations;MiR 21 is an EGFR regulated anti apoptotic factor in lung cancer in never smokers; The changes in expression of some of these miRNAs including miR-21 were more remarkable in cases with EGFR mutations than in those without these mutations; In the never-smoker-derived lung adenocarcinoma cell line H3255 with mutant EGFR and high levels of p-EGFR and miR-21 antisense inhibition of miR-21 enhanced AG1478-induced apoptosis; In a never-smoker-derived adenocarcinoma cell line H441 with wild-type EGFR the antisense miR-21 not only showed the additive effect with AG1478 but also induced apoptosis by itself; These results suggest that aberrantly increased expression of miR-21 which is enhanced further by the activated EGFR signaling pathway plays a significant role in lung carcinogenesis in never-smokers as well as in smokers and is a potential therapeutic target in both EGFR-mutant and wild-type cases;Nickel may contribute to EGFR mutation and synergistically promotes tumor invasion in EGFR mutated lung cancer via nickel induced microRNA 21 expression;Downregulation of miR 21 inhibits EGFR pathway and suppresses the growth of human glioblastoma cells independent of PTEN status ;;progression;drug

apoptosis of A549 cells induced by IR accompanied by decreased phosphorylated-Akt protein level; However PI3K activator IGF-1 reversed suppression of phosphorylated-Akt protein level and promotion of apoptosis of A549 cells after IR caused by miR-21 knockdown; Silencing miR-21 in radioresistant NSCLC A549 cells sensitized them to IR by inhibiting cell proliferation and enhancing cell apoptosis through inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway;In addition we also demonstrated that miR-21 confers decreased autophagy in cervical cancer cells after IR via the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway;In this study we found that miR-21 expression was upregulated in response to ionizing radiation IR in U251 cells which suggested that miR-21 could be involved in the response of U251 cells to radiation; We

Programmed cell death 4 PDCD4 is an important functional target of the microRNA miR 21 in breast cancer cells;We also demonstrated that BMP-6-induced downregulation of miR-21 modified the activity of PDCD4 3'UTR and inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell invasion;The results indicated that the miR-21 inhibition could induce the cell cycle arrest in G1 phase upregulate the expression of Programmed Cell Death Protein 4 PDCD4 and thus active the caspase-3 apoptosis pathway;Induction of miR-21 may enable cancer cells to elude DNA damage-induced apoptosis and enhance the metastatic potential of breast cancer cells through repressing expression of PTEN and PDCD4;The effects were accompanied by up-regulation of tumor suppressor PDCD4 a known miR-21 target; as well as up-regulation of cofilin and profilin two key proteins involved in actin polymerization and cytoskeleton maintenance as a consequence of miR-182 down-regulation;Increased levels of miR-21 in turn downregulate the expression of the metastasis-suppressor protein programmed cell death 4 PDCD4 a validated miR-21 target;Fenhexamid and fludioxonil stimulated miR-21 expression in a concentration-dependent manner and reduced the expression of miR-21 target Pdcd4 protein; Antisense to miR-21 blocked the increase in Pdcd4 protein by fenhexamid and fludioxonil;This process leads to microRNA-21 miR-21 production and a tumor suppressor protein e.g PDCD4 program cell death 4 reduction; Transfection of MCF-7 cells with PKCepsilon or Nanog-specific small interfering RNAs effectively blocks HA-mediated PKCepsilon-Nanog signaling events abrogates miR-21 production and increases PDCD4 expression/eIF4A binding;Through dual-luciferase method it was verified that PDCD4 and PDCD10 were real target genes of miR-21 and miR-200c respectively;We identified miR-21 was directly downregulated by RBP2 and found that miR-21 downregulated PDCD4 expression in leukemia cells;MTCs were consistently associated with miR-21 up-regulation P < .0016 and featured significant PDCD4 nuclear down-regulation; An inverse correlation emerged between miR-21 overexpression and PDCD4 down-regulation P = .0013; This study showed in MTCs that miR-21 regulates PDCD4 expression and also that the miR-21/PDCD4 pathway correlates with clinicopathological variables and prognosis;Although microRNA-21 miR-21 is emerging as an oncogene and has been shown to target several tumor suppressor genes including programmed cell death 4 PDCD4 its precise mechanism of action on cancer stem cells CSCs is unclear; Herein we report that FOLFOX-resistant HCT-116 and HT-29 cells that are enriched in CSCs show a 3- to 7-fold upregulation of pre- and mature miR-21 and downregulation of PDCD4; Likewise overexpression of miR-21 in HCT-116 cells achieved through stable transfection led to the downregulation of PDCD4 and transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 TGFβR2;Prognostic significance of PDCD4 expression and association with microRNA 21 in each Dukes' stage of colorectal cancer patients; Furthermore relationships between the PDCD4 mRNA and microRNA-21 miR-21 were evaluated; The PDCD4 mRNA was investigated by the quantitative real-time RT-PCR method and miR-21 was examined by TaqMan microRNA assays; Significant inverse correlations were demonstrated between PDCD4 and miR-21;miR 21 promotes migration and invasion by the miR 21 PDCD4 AP 1 feedback loop in human hepatocellular carcinoma; The expression level of miR-21 was inversely correlated with the protein expression level of a previously identified

amidoamine PAMAM dendrimer alone or in combination; Interestingly the above data suggested that in both the PTEN mutant and the wild-type GBM cells miR-21 blockage increased the chemosensitivity to

techniques include microRNA microarrays cDNA microarrays qRT-PCR for miR and mRNA expression transfection of MKN28 with miR-21 inhibitor or Serpini1 followed by Western blotting cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry and luciferase reporter assay; This search identified Serpini1 as a putative miR-21 target; Luciferase assays demonstrated direct interaction between miR-21 and Serpini1 3'UTR miR-21 and Serpini1 expression levels were inversely correlated in a subgroup of gastric cancers suggesting a regulatory mechanism that included both of these molecules; Taken together these data suggest that in a subgroup of gastric cancers miR-21 is upregulated inducing downregulation of Serpini1 which in turn releases the G1-S transition checkpoint with the end result being increased tumour growth

II TGFBR2 expression in prostate cancer; Our results revealed that miR-21 suppresses TGFBR2 levels by binding to its 3'-UTR and AR signaling further potentiates this effect in both untransformed and transformed human prostate epithelial cells as well as in human prostate cancers; Manipulation of androgen signaling or the expression levels of AR or miR-21 negatively altered TGFBR2 expression in

oncogenic effects in prostate tumors by downregulating TGFBR2 hence inhibiting the tumor-suppressive activity of TGFβ pathway prostate cancer hsa-miR-21-5p TGFBR3 -0.142759573450327 0.928848736959803

related to miR 21 regulation of TIMP 3 in translation; The aim of this study is to determine whether microRNA-21 miR-21 a specific microRNA implicated in multiple aspects of carcinogenesis promoted breast cancer metastasis by regulating the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP-3 gene; Correlation analysis was performed between miR-21 and TIMP-3; There was significantly inverse correlation between miR-21 and TIMP-3 extracted from tissue;The aim of this study was to determine whether microRNA-21 miR-21 a specific microRNA implicated in multiple aspects of carcinogenesis impacts breast cancer invasion by regulating the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP3 gene; In addition the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 TIMP3 by miR-21 was evaluated by western blotting and luciferase assays; Evaluation of TIMP3 protein levels a peptidase involved in extarcellular matrix degredation inversely correlated with miR-21 expression; As knockdown of miR-21 increased TIMP3 protein expression and luciferase reporter activity our data suggests that miR-21 could promote invasion in breast cancer cells via its regulation of TIMP3;The effect of TIMP3 on miR-21-induced cell survival was determined by transfection with TIMP3 lacking 3' untranslated region and miR-21;We verified that HMGB1-induced expression of miR-21 in HCC provides a posttranscriptional repression of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP inhibitors RECK and TIMP3 which are known to impact HCC progression and metastases; Finally we found that inhibition of miR-21 in murine HMGB1-overexpressing HCC xenografts led to reduced tumor MMP activity through released repression of the miR-21 targets RECK and TIMP3 which ultimately impeded tumor progression;It was previously shown by our group that miR-21 a potential regulator of TIMP3 is over-expressed in cutaneous melanoma; It was therefore hypothesized that increased levels of miR-21 expression would lead to decreased expression of TIMP3 and thereby enhance the invasiveness of melanoma cells; Reduced expression of TIMP3 was achieved by siRNA knockdown and significantly enhanced invasion of melanoma cell lines mimicking the effects of miR-21 over-expression; Treatment of tumor cells with a linked nucleic acid antagomir to miR-21 inhibited tumor growth and increased tumor expression of TIMP3 in vivo in 01B74 Athymic NCr-nu/nu mice; This data shows that increased expression of miR-21 enhanced the invasive potential of melanoma cell lines through TIMP3 inhibition
