circRNA_101277 Influences Cisplatin Resistance of Colorectal Cancer Cells by Modulating the miR-370/IL-6 Axis by Qing Lv, Qinghua Xia, Anshu Li, Zhiyong Wang

“…Results. circRNA_101277 was increased in CRC tissues compared with control samples. circRNA_101277 overexpression was evident in CRC cells, and knockdown of this circRNA suppressed cellular proliferation and cisplatin resistance in these cancer cells. At a mechanistic level, circRNA_101277 was found to function by sequestering miR-370, thereby upregulating the miR-370 target gene IL-6 and promoting cisplatin resistance via this miR-370/IL-6 axis. …”

miR-224 activates cancer-associated fibroblasts to enhance lung cancer cell migration and invasion by targeting Akirin1 by Seonyeong Oh, Sieun Lee, Inyoung Cheon, Young-Ho Ahn

“…In addition, LFs depleted of Akirin1 by siRNAs stimulated the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells compared to control LFs. Overall, these findings indicate that miR-224 induces CAF activation and promotes the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells by targeting Akirin1 in co-culture systems.…”

CRYβB2 alters cell adhesion to promote invasion in a triple-negative breast cancer cell line by Amr A. Waly, London Harper, Jodie M. Fleming, Lindsey M. Costantini

“…RNA sequencing analysis indicated that CRYβB2 overexpression modulated cell-cell adhesion and extracellular matrix organization pathways, which are critical to invasion of cancer cells. Specifically, CRYβB2 suppressed the expression of key cell-cell adhesion genes known as clustered protocadherins and promoted the expression of PCDH7, a nonclustered protocadherin with known oncogenic roles in various cancers. …”
