MicroRNA-630 may confer favorable cisplatin-based chemotherapy and clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer by targeting Bcl-2.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA-630 (miR-630) plays dual roles in tumor progression in various human cancers. However, the role of miR-630 in chemoresistance and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains to be elucidated. This retrospective study enrolled 114 surgically resected patients with NSCLC who experienced tumor relapse and underwent cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The aim was to examine the possible association between miR-630 (and its targeting of Bcl-2 expression) and the response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Patients with tumors expressing low miR-630, high Bcl-2, and a combination of both were more likely than their counterparts to show unfavorable responses to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis indicated that low miR-630, high Bcl-2, and a combina
