Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Increasing evidence suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in tumorigenesis. Decreased expression of miRNA-139-5p has been observed in various types of cancers. However, the biological function of miRNA-139-5p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still largely unknown. METHODS: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to explore the expression level of miRNA-139-5p in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Then, we investigated the role of miRNA-139-5p to determine its potential roles on lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. A luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the target gene of miRNA-139-5p and the results were validated in renal cancer cells. RESULTS: miRNA-139-5p was significantly decreased in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Over-expression of miRNA-139-5p could inhibit lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, we identified insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) as a target of miR-139-5p and miR-139-5p function as a tumor suppressor via targeting IGF1R in NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that miR-139-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC partially via down-regulating IGF1R expression.
