| Detail Description: | MiR-202 suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells by downregulating Gli2.. Accumulating data have shown that microRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. miR-202 has been confirmed to be downregulated in several types of human cancer. However, the expression and biological role of miR-202 in osteosarcoma (OS) carcinogenesis and progression remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-202 expression is significantly decreased in human OS cell lines and specimens. Restoration of miR-202 expression could inhibit OS cell proliferation, induce cell apoptosis, and suppress tumor growth in nude mice models. We subsequently identified the transcription factor Gli2 as a direct target of miR-202. Overexpression of Gli2 blocked the inhibitory function of miR-202. Taken together, our results indicate that miR-202 acts as a novel tumor suppressor to regulate OS cell proliferation and apoptosis through downregulating Gli2 expression. |
The 'First Node' or 'Second Node' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with the first or second interaction node,
the 'Both the Nodes' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with both of interaction nodes.
The 'First Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct interacting with the center node,
the 'Second Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct or second step interacting with the center node.
Interaction sub-network based on the two nodes of this interaction may help the researchers represents all interacting partners immediately.
