MiR-1976/NCAPH/P65 axis inhibits the malignant phenotypes of lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a malignancy with an abysmal survival rate. High metastasis is the leading cause of the low survival rate of LUAD. NCAPH, an oncogene, is involved in the carcinogenesis of LUAD. However, the regulation of NCAPH in LUAD remains controversial. In this work, we identified an up-regulation of NCAPH in LUAD tissues. Patients who expressed more NCAPH had shorter overall survival (OS). Furthermore, NCAPH overexpression promoted LUAD cell migration while inhibiting apoptosis. MiR-1976 and miR-133b were predicted to target NCAPH expression by searching TargetScan and linkedomics databases. Following that, we confirmed that miR-1976 suppressed NCAPH by directly targeting a 7-bp region of NCAPH 3' untranslated regions (UTR). In addition, increased expression of miR-1976
