miR-7-5p overexpression

Finally, we discovered that patients with CRC who had developed cetuximab resistance or disease progression had remarkably decreased serum miR-7-5p levels. PA-MSHA controlled the miR-7-5p/Akt3/Wnt-β-catenin pathway to provide substantial efficacy against cetuximab-resistant CRC.

The findings suggest that hsa-circ-0013561 downregulation inhibits HNSCC metastasis and progression through PDK3 expression and miR-7-5p binding modulation.

Through the regulation of the Rb/E2F1 signaling pathway, the overexpression of miR-7-5p mitigated HQ-induced malignant phenotype in TK6 cells by impeding cell cycle progression. In conclusion, miR-7-5p overexpression appears to be involved in HQ-induced malignant transformation by suppressing Rb/E2F1 signaling pathway, resulting in a deceleration of the cell cycle progression.

Additionally, circ_0005785 inhibition hindered the tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, circ_0005785 aggravated the CRC progression by increasing the level of DNMT3A via adsorbing miR-7-5p.

Ingenuity pathway analysis predicted miR-7-5p to inhibit the mRNA expression of Krüppel-like factor 4, epidermal growth factor receptor, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 and insulin receptor substrate ½, and insulin receptor, while metformin activated these miRNAs via transforming growth factor-β1 and Smad2/3. We proved the pro-atherogenic effect of miR-7-5p that maybe used as a prognostic biomarker.

Tail vein injection of magnetic nanoparticles carrying miR-7-5p mimics into the PDX mice significantly inhibited tumor growth with or without irradiation treatment in vivo. Our current studies not only demonstrate an anti-cancer function of miR-7-5p in regulating CSC properties and radiosensitivity in colorectal cancer, but also provide a novel potential strategy for delaying or reverse radiation resistance in preoperative radiotherapy of CRC patients.

Furthermore, overexpression of RHPN1-AS1 promoted phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT and mTOR, inhibited LC3-I to LC3-II conversion and reduced apoptosis in PCa cells, while GSK2126458 (an inhibitor of PI3K) reversed the effect of RHPN1-AS1 on PCa cells. In summary, RHPN1-AS1 acted as a ceRNA of miR-7-5p to upregulate EGFR expression, silencing RHPN1-AS1 suppressed PCa tumor progression by inducing autophagy and apoptosis in PCa cells through the miR-7-5p/EGFR/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Besides, LINC02389 could reverse the inhibitory effect of cisplatin on NSCLC cells, which was partially reversed by attenuating the expression of miR-7-5p. Our research firstly demonstrated that lncRNA LINC02389 acted as an oncogene to promote progression, oxidative stress, and cisplatin resistance through sponging miR-7-5p and may provide therapeutic targets for NSCLC.

Exo-miR-7-5p derived from BMSCs negatively regulates OSBPL11 by suppressing the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting AML proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The data will inform the development of AML therapies based on BMSC-derived exosomes.

Our study not only delineates how acidification directly affects tumorigenesis, but also suggests miR-7 is a novel reliable biomarker for acidic TME and a novel therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Our study opens an avenue to explore the pH-sensitive subcellular components as novel therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

Silencing circ-SFMBT2 can suppress the proliferation, clone formation, invasion ability and induce apoptosis of NSCLC cells by regulating the miR-7-5p/ADAM10 axis.
