miR-26 suppresses renal cell cancer via down-regulating coronin-3.

miR-26 suppresses renal cell cancer via down-regulating coronin-3. Mol Cell Biochem. 2019 Oct 08;: Authors: Wang XJ, Yan ZJ, Luo GC, Chen YY, Bai PM Abstract Coronin-3 (coronin-1C), a homotrimer F-actin-binding protein, has been reported to be important for metastasis in several types of cancers such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer. Here, we present an investigation of the expression and function of coronin-3 in renal cell cancer for the first time. We also confirmed that miR-26 directly targets coronin-3 and down-regulates its expression by western blot assay and dual-luciferase reporter system. The results of MTT and colony formation assay showed that miR-26 suppressed cell proliferation. Wound healing and transwell assay revealed that miR-26 inhibited migration and invasion of renal cancer cell. Moreover, overexpression of coronin-3 could reverse the miR-26-induced inhibition in cell growth and metastasis. Thus, our study suggests that coronin-3 should serve as a potential therapeutic target in renal cell cancer and provide a candidate for miRNA therapy.
