microRNA在肿瘤细胞耐药中的作用

The role of microRNAs in tumor cells chemoresistance

microRNA Target genes Effect Ref
miR-24 DHFR The single base mutation 829C-T in DHFR 3’UTR, interferes the normal pairing between miR-24 and DHFR’mRNA, which make the expression of dihydrofolate reductase increased, and cause the methotrexate resistant phenotype. [24]
miR-519c BCRP
ABCG2
The ABCG2 3’UTR of the S1MI80 cell contained a 1, 500 bp deletion, which includes the miR-519c reactive sites. This mutation make the expression of the drug efflux pump gene: ABCG2 cann’t reduced, and cause the multidrug resistance phenotype. [25]
Abnormal expression
miR-15a/16 BCL2 The overexpression of miR-15a/16 can reduce the expression of the tamoxifen-induced BCL2, and enhance the resistance of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen. [26]
miR-20 BNIP2 miR-20 can modify the sensitivity of colorectal cancer cell lines SW620, SW480 to 5-FU, oxaliplatin and teniposide, overexpression of miR-20 induced SW480 drug-resistance, downexpression of it can increase the drug-sensitivity of SW620. [27]
miR-21 BCL2
MMR
BCL2
PTEN
PI3K/Akt
The overexpression of miR-21 could interfere the colorectal cancer cells G/M arrest and apoptosis induced by 5-FU, that drug-resistant appears by reducing the expression of mutated mismatch repair gene MMR. The overexpression of miR-21 mediates the BCL2/PTEN expression, which caused the DDP-resistance of NSCLC cell. The overexpression of miR-21 can reactivate the expression of tumor suppressor gene PTEN and reduces the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, then increase the sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. Abnormal expression of miR-21 could lead the sensitive response of CML chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562 to the DNR by changing PTEN expression directly by PI3K/AKT pathway. [28-32]
miR-27a HIPK2,
MDR1, P-gp
The overexpression of miR-27a which by regulating the target gene of HIPK2, could regulate the expression of MDR1 and P-gp indirectly, which influence ovarian cancer resistant to paclitaxel. [33]
miR-34 BCL2
CCND1
MAGE-A
HuR
SIRT1
miR-34 suppressed the expression of target genes: BCL2/CCND1, which is leading to the resistance of MCF-7 to docetaxel. The overexpression of miR-34 suppress the expression of MAGE-A, then increasing the expression of P53, and upregulate the expression of miR-34 by positive feedback regulation mechanism, which increases the sensitivity of tumor cells to mitomycin and cisplatin. The overexpression of miR-34 could downregulate the expression of SIRT1 and BCL2 directly or by suppressing the expression of HuR, and weaken the resistance hormone-independent prostate cancer PC3 cells to paclitaxel. [34-36]
miR-34a MYC
Sirt1/E2F3
The low-expression of miR-34a can increase the expression of myc, and transform the sensitivity of P493-6 cells to brotezomib. Overexpression of miR-34a can antagonist the apoptosis induced by bortezomib. The overexpression of miR-34a can reverse the drug-resistance of DLD-1 cells by suppressing the expression of Sirt1/E2F3. [37, 38]
miR-199a-3p Target of rapamycin c-Met miR-199a-3p can affect the sensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to doxorubicin by direct role in the target of rapamycin and c-Met, and maintain the low level expression of miR-199a-3p could improve the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin. [39]
miR-125 Bak1 The high-level expression of miR-125 endue the tolerance of breast cancer cells to docetaxel by suppressing the expression of Bak1. [40]
miR-130b CSF-1 The low expression of miR-130b reduce the efficiency in binding to CSF-1 3’UTR, thereby reducing the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel. [41]
miR-141 YAP1 The overexpression of miR-141 can suppress the resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to cisplatin which is mediated by YAP1 gene. [42]
miR-143 KRAS miR-143 could increase the drug-sensitivity of prostate cancer by suppressing the expression of target protein KRAS, while the overexpression of miR-143 could also participate the regulation of EGFR/RAS/MAPK pathway and improve the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to docetaxel. [43]
miR-146b-3p K-ras The increase of miR-146b-3p expression could participate the form of in resistance of HCT-116 colon cancer cell to cetuximab. [44]
miR-193a p73 The suppression of miR-193a expression caused by inhibiting p-73-mediated feedback regulatory pathway can induce the sensitivity of head and neck squamous cell JHU-029 to chemotherapeutic drugs. [45]
miR-200c PTEN
Bax
miR-200c could reverse the resistance of the gastric cancer cells SGC7901 to DDP by upregulating the expression of the target protein PTEN/Bax. [46]
miR-200bc/429 Bcl-2
XIAP
The enhanced expression of miR-200bc/429 cluster resulting decrease of BCL-2 and XIAP protein, which make the gastric SGC7901/VCR and lung cancer A549/CDDP became sensitive to VCR/CDDP induced apoptosis. [47]
miR-205/31 BCL2
E2F6
miR-205/31 could suppress the expression of BCL2/E2F6 respectively, and improving the apoptosis of prostate cancer induced by chemotherapy. The downexpression of miR-205/miR-31 plays an important role in the anti-apoptotic function of tumor. [48]
miR-297 MRP-2 In HCT116/L-OHP of the colon cancer cell with multi-drug resistant, the expression of miR-297 was significantly reduced when compared with the parental strain HCT116. Thereby overexpression of miR-297 is expected to improve the drug-resistant of HCT116/LOHP. [49]
miR-328 BCRP
ABCG2
In MCF-7/MX100 of the drug-resistant cell lines, suppress the expression of miR-328 could promote the expression of BCRP/ABCG2, which could increase drug sinotrans and result the generation of drug resistance. [50]
miR-451 MDR1 In the multi-drug resistant cell lines MCF-7/DOX, overexpression of miR-451 may enhance the sensitivity of cells to doxorubicin. [51]
