Identification of multiple organ metastasis-associated hub mRNA/miRNA signatures in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Metastasis remains major cause of treatment failure in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A comprehensive characterization of the transcriptomic landscape of NSCLC-cells with organ-specific metastatic potentials would advance our understanding of NSCLC metastasis process. In this study, we established NSCLC bone-metastatic (BoM), brain-metastatic (BrM), and lymph-metastatic (LnM) cells by an in vivo spontaneous metastatic model. Subsequently, by analyzing the entire transcriptomic profiles of BoM, BrM, LnM, LuM, in comparison with their parental cell line L9981, we identified miR-660-5p as a key driver that is associated with NSCLC progression and distant metastasis, potentially through its targeting of LIMCH1, SMARCA5 and TPP2. In addition, a six-gene signature (ADRB2, DPYSL2, IL7R, LIMC
