Kinesin family member 11 is a potential therapeutic target and is suppressed by microRNA-30a in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) is a plus end-directed kinesin indispensable for the formation of the bipolar spindle in metaphase, where it objects to the action of minus end-directed molecular motors. Here, we hypothesize that KIF11 might be a therapeutic target of breast cancer and regulated by miR-30a. Cell Counting Kit 8 assays were used to investigate cell proliferation. Invasion assays were used to survey the motility of cells. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional analyses were employed for this outcome study. The prognostic significance and performance of KIF11 were validated on 17 worldwide independent microarray datasets and two The Cancer Genome Atlas-Breast Invasive Carcinoma sets. microRNA was predicted targeting KIF11 through sequence alignment in microRNA.org and confirmed by
