MicroRNA-1285-5p influences the proliferation and metastasis of non-small-cell lung carcinoma cells via downregulating CDH1 and Smad4 by Shixia Zhou, Zhongmian Zhang, Pengyuan Zheng, Wenchao Zhao, Na Han

“…Mechanism analyses revealed that silence of Smad4 and CDH1 significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of LV-anti-miR-1285-5p on non-small-cell lung carcinoma growth and invasion. Taken together, our data suggest that miR-1285-5p functions as a tumor promoter in the development of non-small-cell lung carcinoma by targeting Smad4 and CDH1, indicating a novel therapeutic strategy for non-small-cell lung carcinoma patients.…”
