Abstract
Background. ANLN and miR-30a-5p may be involved in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, their underlying mechanism in LUAD has not been completely comprehended. Methods. Differential expression analysis, binding site prediction, and survival analysis were conducted by bioinformatics approaches. ANLN mRNA and miR-30a-5p expression were detected by qRT-PCR. ANLN protein expression was detected by western blot. Cell behaviors in LUAD were examined by functional experiments. Results. ANLN was activated in LUAD cells in terms of mRNA and protein. High ANLN level was positively correlated with poor prognosis. Enforced ANLN stimulated protumorigenesis LUAD cell behaviors. miR-30a-5p could target ANLN mRNA, as revealed and verified through assays. Remarkably low miR-30a-5p expression was observed in LUAD cells, and it could repress ANLN expression. The accelerated cell behaviors by overexpression of ANLN were counteracted by upregulating miR-30a-5p. Conclusion. Overall, miR-30a-5p remarkably restrained the malignant progression of LUAD cells by constraining ANLN expression. Thus, ANLN and miR-30a-5p could be novel therapeutic targets of LUAD.
