MiR-629-5p Promotes Prostate Cancer Development and Metastasis by Targeting AKAP13.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) has become the most frequently occurring cancer among western men according to the latest report, and patients' prognosis is often poor in the event of tumor progression, therefore, many researches are devoted to exploring the molecular mechanism of PCa metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRNA) have proved to play an important role in this process. In present study, by combining clinical samples with public databases, we found that miR-629-5p increased to varying degrees in primary localized PCa tissues and metastatic PCa tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues, and bioinformatics analysis suggested that high level of miR-629-5p was related to poor prognosis. Functionally, miR-629-5p drove PCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and promoted growth o
