Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | melanoma |
| ICD-0-3 | NA |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, RIP, Cell proliferation assay etc. |
| Sample | melanoma tissues, cell lines (A375 and SK-MEL-2) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | In our experiments, UCA1 expression was discovered to be upregulated in melanoma tissues and cells, while the depletion of UCA1 led to the inhibition of cell proliferation, invasion and cell cycle arrest. To further our understanding of the mechanisms of UCA1, a system of experiments was built. We found that miR-507 could directly bind to UCA1 at the miRNA recognition site, and that there was a negative correlation between miR-507 and UCA1. Additionally, FOXM1 is a target of miR-507 and can be downregulated by either miR-507 overexpression or UCA1 depletion. Downregulated FOXM1 was analogous to the depletion of UCA1 and the overexpression of miR-507. |
