MicroRNA-1469, a p53-responsive microRNA promotes Genistein induced apoptosis by targeting Mcl1 in human laryngeal cancer cells.

In this study, we report that miR-1469 was induced by genistein in laryngeal cancer. Elevated miR-1469 promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited Mcl1 expression. In addition, we also observed that tumor suppressor p53 was increased under genistein treatment. Elevation of p53 promoted miR-1469 expression, leading to miR-1469 increase and Mcl1 decrease. Therefore, our findings suggest that genistein can suppress laryngeal cancer cell survival through p53 -miR-1469-Mcl1pathway. PMID: 29990856 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
