  • Abstract:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of microRNA-497 (miR-497) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and cell lines, and to investigate possible mechanisms associated with its regulatory role on cell behaviors. The expression level of miR-497 was evaluated in 15 cases of NSCLC tissues and 8 adjacent normal tissues, and in 8 NSCLC cell lines, including H1975, A549, H358, H1650, H460, Calu-1, H1299 and H292, by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Effects of miR-497 overexpression on cell proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and radiosensitivity were examined with a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, Matrigel assay, flow cytometry and a clone formation assay in vitro, respectively, and in an in vivo ectopic tumor nude mice model. A dual luciferase reporter assay was employed for interaction between miR-497 and its target gene kinase insert domain receptor (KDR). A significantly decreased level of miR-497 was determined in NSCLC tissues, compared with adjacent normal tissues, and Calu-1 and H1975 exhibited the lowest miR-497 expression among the 8 NSCLC cell lines. miR-497 overexpression could inhibit cell proliferation and invasion, promote cancer cell apoptosis and decrease cell clone formation following radiation treatment in vitro, and decrease tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, a dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that KDR as the target gene for miR-497. It was demonstrated that miR-497 was downregulated in NSCLC specimens. Additionally, miR-497 directly targeted and downregulated KDR expression, and inhibited malignant behaviors of NSCLC cells. These data indicated that miR-497 could serve as a tumor suppressor gene involved in NSCLC pathogenesis.
