MiR-144-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocargen cancer cells by targeting COL11A1

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the regulatory relationship between miR-144-3p and COL11A1, and to explore its effect on the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells. A series of methods and experiments were applied. miR-144-3p was downregulated in LUAD tissue and cells, whereas COL11A1 was highly expressed. Overexpressing miR-144-3p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells, which could be reversed by overexpression of COL11A1. Overexpressing miR-144-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells by silencing COL11A1.
