Research Abstract |
To elucidate how miR-203 is related to proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of esophageal cancer, we performed the expression and functional analysis of miR-203. We found that the expression of miR-203 may be related to invasion, and metastasis of esophageal cancer cell. In further investigation, We also identified 22 genes controlled by miR-203 in esophageal cancer cell using DNA microarray analysis. We found that LASP1, which was one of 22 genes that we identified in our study, was directly controlled by miR-203, and might be related to the mechanism of invasion, and metastasis in esophageal cancer cell. From these results, we concluded the difference of miR-203 expression in esophageal cancer cell may influence the outcome of treatment of the patients with esophageal cancer.
