MiRNA-300 suppresses proliferation, migration and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer via targeting ETS1.

OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the biological function of microRNA-300 (miRNA-300) in influencing the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS:The relative level of miRNA-300 in NSCLC tissues and cells was determined by quantitative Real (qRT-PCR). The influences of miRNA-300 on the proliferative, migratory, and invasive potentials of A549 cells were assessed. The binding relationship between miRNA-300 and ETS1 was verified by the Dual-Luciferase Assay. Finally, the regulatory effect of the interactive miRNA-300 and ETS1 on the progression of NSCLC was identified. RESULTS:MiRNA-300 was downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. The overexpression of miRNA-300 suppressed A549 cells to proliferate, migrate, and invade. MiRNA-300 could bind to ETS1 3'UTR and suppress its level in A549 cells. Notably, the knockdown of miRNA-300 could reverse the regulatory role of ETS1 in the cellular behaviors of NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS:MiRNA-300 suppresses NSCLC to proliferate, migrate, and invade by targeting ETS1.
