Hsa-miR-181a-2-3p inhibits the oncogenicity of colon cancer by directly targeting STING.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal system, which is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression and biological role of miR-181a-2-3p in colon cancer and to investigate the molecular mechanism of its regulatory effect on colon cancer through stimulator of interferon genes (STING).

Methods

Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was used to detect the expression of miR-181a-2-3p in colon cancer cell lines and normal intestinal epithelial cells. After overexpression of miR-181a-2-3p in colon cancer cell lines SW480 and HT29, cells were examined by CCK8, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays for alterations in proliferation, migration, apoptosis, an
