MiRNA-26a Contributes to the Acquisition of Malignant Behaviors of Doctaxel-Resistant Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells through Targeting EZH2

Abstract

Our data revealed that overexpression of miR-26a in docetaxel-resistant LAD cells could decrease the proliferation, increase the apoptosis rate and reverse EMT to MET of docetaxel-resistant LAD cells both in vivo and vitro and such function is partially exerted via downregulating EZH2. MiR-26a/EZH2 signal pathway makes contribute to the malignant phenotype of docetaxel-resistant of LAD cells which indicated that miR-26a exerts pivotal functions in the molecular etiology of chemoresistant lung adenocarcinoma.
