C-Src promotes tumor progression through downregulation of microRNA-129-1-3p.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) fine-tune cellular signaling by regulating expression of signaling proteins, and aberrant expression of miRNAs is observed in many cancers. The tyrosine kinase c-Src is upregulated in various human cancers, but the molecular mechanisms underlying c-Src-mediated tumor progression remain unclear. In previous investigations of miRNA-mediated control of c-Src-related oncogenic pathways, we identified miRNAs that were downregulated in association with c-Src transformation and uncovered the signaling networks by predicting their target genes, which might act cooperatively to control tumor progression. Here, to further elucidate the process of cell transformation driven by c-Src, we analyzed the expression profiles of miRNAs in a doxycycline-inducible Src expression system. We
