MicroRNA-1 targets Slug and endows lung cancer A549 cells with epithelial and anti-tumorigenic properties
7 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNA-1 (miR-1) has recently been suggested to function as a tumor suppressor. Its functional relevance was assessed by exploring structural and tumorigenic properties of lung cancer A549 cells stably transduced with retrovirus containing pre-miR-1. A549 cells overexpressing miR-1 exhibited a significant morphological change from a mesenchymal to an epithelial phenotype characterized by cell polarization and...
