Regulation of KIF23 by miR-107 controls replicative tumor cell fitness in mouse and human hepatocellular carcinoma

20246 citationsOpen accessSouth Valley University

Abstract

Our study revealed the central role of the miR-107/KIF23 axis in controlling tumor cell fitness and hepatocellular carcinoma progression. The results demonstrate that the overexpression of miR-107 or silencing of its target, KIF23, markedly suppresses the proliferation, survival, and motility of human and mouse hepatoma cells. In this work, we demonstrate that the disruption of miR-107/Kif23 signaling effectively protects mice from an aggressive form of oncogene-induced liver cancer in vivo, implying that targeting miR-107/KIF23 might be a novel therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma in humans.
