In conclusion our data suggest that mUA can suppress cell viability in DU145 cells through modulating miR-21 and its downstream series-wound targets including PTEN Akt and Wnt/β-catenin signaling;In addition treated with 5-AZA resulted in significant increases of miR-21 expression in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells P < 0.01 with the protein level of PTEN increased in MCF-7 cell which was further involved in the downregulation of AKT;microRNA 21 promotes tumor proliferation and invasion in gastric cancer by targeting PTEN; Thus in this study we focused on the expression and significance of miR-21 in gastric cancer tissues and the role of miR-21 in the biological behaviour and the expression of PTEN in gastric cancer cells; Western blotting and the Luciferase Reporter Assay were used to evaluate the change of PTEN expression after lowered expression of miR-21 in gastric cancer cell lines; The western blot results and Luciferase Reporter Assay demonstrated that PTEN expression was remarkably increased after miR-21 inhibition P<0.05 microRNA-21 expression was upregulated in gastric carcinoma tissues and was significantly associated with the degree of differentiation of tumour tissues local invasion and lymph node metastasis;Furthermore we identified that miR-21 overexpression could promote Hela and U2OS cells proliferation by targeting phosphatase-tensin homolog PTEN the result of which can be rescued by miR-21 inhibitor;Inhibition of microRNA-21 mir‑21 induced upregulation of Spry2 and PTEN which underscores the importance of mir-21 in Spry2-associated tumorigenesis of the colon;Bmi-1 also regulates p53 and PTEN via miR-21;Here we demonstrated that miR-21 expression was up-regulated and its function was elevated in HER2+ BT474 SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells that are induced to acquire trastuzumab resistance by long-term exposure to the antibody whereas protein expression of the PTEN gene a miR-21 target was reduced; Rescuing PTEN expression with a p3XFLAG-PTEN-mut construct with deleted miR-21 targeting sequence at its 3' UTR restored the growth inhibition of trastuzumab in the resistant cells by inducing PTEN activation and AKT inhibition; In vivo administering miR-21 antisense oligonucleotides restored trastuzumab sensitivity in the resistant breast cancer xenografts by inducing PTEN expression whereas injection of miR-21 mimics conferred trastuzumab resistant in the sensitive breast tumors via PTEN silence;The expression of miR-21 and its target PTEN was determined by real-time qRT-PCR and western blotting respectively in tumor tissues as well as adjacent non-tumor mucosa; miR-21 was significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues while PTEN was expressed in lower levels compared to non-tumor tissues; A negative correlation between expression of miR-21 and PTEN was established in vivo;MicroRNA 21 inhibitor sensitizes human glioblastoma cells U251 PTEN mutant and LN229 PTEN wild type to taxol; Human glioblastoma U251 PTEN-mutant and LN229 PTEN wild-type cells were treated with taxol and the miR-21 inhibitor in a poly 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 taxol; Thus the miR-21 inhibitor might interrupt the activity of EGFR pathways independently of PTEN status;The effect of ZA on miR-21 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR and the amount of PTEN protein and its targets were analyzed by Western blot;NTR1 activation stimulates expression of miR-21 and miR-155 in colonocytes via Akt and NF-κB to down-regulate PTEN and SOCS1 and promote growth of tumors in mice;Correlations between the expression levels of miR-21 PTEN and p-AKT were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot test in HER2-positive GC cell lines; Overexpression of miR-21 down-regulated PTEN expression increased AKT phosphorylation and did not affect HER2 expression; Inversely suppression of miR-21 increased PTEN expression and down-regulated AKT phosphorylation but still did not affect HER2 expression;MicroRNA 21 promotes TGF β1 induced epithelial mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer through up regulating PTEN expression; In GC tissues the expressions of miR-21 Akt and p-Akt were up-regulated while PTEN expression was down-regulated; These results suggest that miR-21 could promote TGF-β1-induced EMT in GC cells through up-regulating PTEN expression;Expressions of PTEN were significantly down-regulated in CRC tissues and negatively correlated with expressions of Notch-1 r2=0.5207 p<0.01 and miR-21 r2=0.6996 p<0.01; These data indicate that the crosstalk between Notch-1 and miR-21 is involved in CRC development through degradation of PTEN;In the same patients we also compared miR-21 expression with the expression of its presumed target PTEN; miR-21 expression levels were found to significantly correlate with tumour size r = 0.403 p = 0.009; Spearman's rank whereas no relation was found between miR-21 and PTEN expression levels Kruskal-Wallis test;Over-expression of miR-21 suppressed its target PTEN and disrupted acinar morphogenesis;MicroRNA 21 suppresses PTEN and hSulf 1 expression and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through AKT/ERK pathways;There was overexpression of the miR-21 target genes PTEN by 67% and caspase-3 by 15% upon cotreatment;We previously reported that microRNA-21 miR-21 was strongly expressed in melanoma relative to naevi and now sought to further assess the significance of this by assessing its relationship with its putative target PTEN; Clinical melanoma samples were analysed by immunohistochemical analysis for PTEN stem-loop qRT-PCR for miR-21 and PCR for BRAF/NRAS mutation status; miR-21 expression was inversely associated with nuclear PTEN expression but not with cytoplasmic PTEN expression; These data suggest miR-21 may exert an oncogenic effect in melanoma by favouring redistribution of PTEN to the nucleus;Triptolide reduces proliferation and enhances apoptosis of human non small cell lung cancer cells through PTEN by targeting miR 21; To the best of our knowledge the present study is the first to demonstrate that triptolide reduced the proliferation and enhanced the apoptosis of human NSCLC cells through PTEN by targeting miR-21;Quantitative real-time PCR qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of miR-21 and PTEN in HCT116 HT29 Colo32 and SW480 CRC cell lines; Also the expression levels of PTEN mRNA and its downstream proteins AKT and PI3K in HCT116 cells after downregulating miR-21 were investigated; In comparing the levels of PTEN protein and downstream AKT and PI3K in HCT116 cells after downregulation of miR-21 expression the levels of AKT and PI3K protein expression significantly decreased P < 0.05; PTEN is one of the direct target genes of miR-21;The level of miR-21 was reversely correlated with the expression of PTEN and PDCD4 and positive correlated with PI3K/Akt pathway; miR-21 is involved in acquired resistance of EGFR-TKI in NSCLC which is mediated by down-regulating PTEN and PDCD4 and activating PI3K/Akt pathway;MicroRNA 21 modulates chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells to doxorubicin by targeting PTEN; TaqMan RT-PCR or Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of mature miR-21 and tumor suppressor gene PTEN protein; We showed that upregulation of miR-21 in MCF-7/ADR cells was concurrent with downregulation of PTEN protein; Overexpression of PTEN could mimic the same effects of miR-21 inhibitor in MCF-7/ADR cells and PTEN-siRNA could increase the resistance of MCF-7 cells to ADR; MiR-21 inhibitor could increase PTEN protein expression and the luciferase activity of a PTEN 3' untranslated region-based reporter construct in MCF-7/ADR cells; Dysregulation of miR-21 plays critical roles in the ADR resistance of breast cancer at least in part via targeting PTEN;MiR-21 level was inversely correlated with the levels of FOXO1 and PTEN in DLBCL cell lines; MiR-21 also down-regulated PTEN expression and consequently activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway which further decreased FOXO1 expression;In present study we determined the miR-21 levels in TNBC specimens and TNBC cell levels in vitro and then identified the role of miR-21 on tumor cell proliferation apoptosis and then identified PTEN as the possible target of the microRNA;MiR 21 suppresses the anticancer activities of curcumin by targeting PTEN gene in human non small cell lung cancer A549 cells; Transfection of A549 cells with microRNA-21 mimic or PTEN small interfering RNA was performed to modulate the expression of microRNA-21 and PTEN under the treatment of curcumin; Moreover the protein level of PTEN a putative target of microRNA-21 was significantly elevated in curcumin-treated A549 cells as determined by Western blot analysis; Transfection of A549 cells with microRNA-21 mimic or PTEN small interfering RNA significantly P < 0.05 reversed the growth suppression and apoptosis induction by curcumin compared to corresponding controls; Our data suggest a novel molecular mechanism in which inhibition of microRNA-21 and upregulation of PTEN mediate the anticancer activities of curcumin in NSCLC cells;PTEN gene expression was performed as a known target of miR-21;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;PTEN a direct target gene of miR-21 was significantly downregulated in gemcitabine-resistant breast cancer cells and restoration of PTEN expression blocked miR-21-induced EMT and gemcitabine resistance;We also found that Rawq01 up-regulated the expression of PTEN through mir-21 inhibition and therefore inhibited the PI3K-AKT pathway;Moreover we demonstrate that oligonucleotide-mediated miR-21 silencing in U87 human GBM cells resulted in increased levels of the tumor suppressors PTEN and PDCD4 caspase 3/7 activation and decreased tumor cell proliferation;MicroRNA 21 regulates expression of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene in human hepatocellular cancer; PTEN was shown to be a direct target of miR-21 and to contribute to miR-21 effects on cell invasion; Modulation of miR-21 altered focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation and expression of matrix metalloproteases 2 and 9 both downstream mediators of PTEN involved in cell migration and invasion; Aberrant expression of miR-21 can contribute to HCC growth and spread by modulating PTEN expression and PTEN-dependent pathways involved in mediating phenotypic characteristics of cancer cells such as cell growth migration and invasion;Overexpression of miR 21 promotes the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells via the inhibition of PTEN; The aim of this study was to examine the expression of miR-21 and PTEN in cervical cancer specimens using quantitative PCR; miR-21 was upregulated in the cervical cancer specimens negatively correlating with the PTEN mRNA level; Transfection of the miR-21 mimics was markedly promoted whereas the miR-21 inhibitor suppressed the proliferation migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells with a significant inhibition of PTEN expression; The present study showed the upregulation of miR-21 in invasive cervical cancers and confirmed the promotion of miR-21 with regard to the proliferation migration and invasion in cervical cancer cells via inhibiting the PTEN expression;The expressions of miR-21 PTEN PI3K and AKT were detected in 89 esophageal cancer samples and 58 adjacent normal tissues respectively; MiR-21 PI3K and AKT have higher expressions but PTEN has lower expression in esophageal cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues; Further PTEN was a target gene of miR-21;The expression level of miR-21 and PTEN messenger RNA were measured by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; miR-21 was overexpressed and PTEN was suppressed in established radioresistant TE-R60 cells compared with the parent cells 1.3-fold and 70.83%; The inhibition of miR-21 significantly increased the cells' radiosensitivity P < 0.05 and the PTEN protein expression 2.3-fold in TE-1 cells; Knockdown of PTEN in anti-miR-21 TE-1 cells could abrogate the miR-21 inhibition-induced radiosensitization P < 0.05; Inhibition of miR-21 increased radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer TE-1 cells and this effect was possibly through the activation of PTEN;MicroRNA 21 miR 21 expression promotes growth metastasis and chemo or radioresistance in non small cell lung cancer cells by targeting PTEN;
