miR-99a and -99b inhibit cervical cancer cell proliferation and invasion by targeting mTOR signaling pathway

TLDR
Results suggested that miR-99a/b directly and negatively regulated mTOR expression in cervical cancer cells, and enforced the importance of miR/b and their targets in the malignant phenotypes of cervical carcinogenesis.
Abstract
MicroRNAs were demonstrated to play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Here, we showed that miR-99a and -99b (miR-99a/b) were down-regulated in human cervical cancer patient tissues and were negatively related with lymphatic metastasis. In addition, overexpression of miR-99a/b inhibited cell growth and invasion, whereas suppression of miR-99a/b yielded the reverse phenotype. Dual luciferase report assay revealed that mTOR was identified as a novel target gene of both miR-99a and -99b. Altogether, these results suggested that miR-99a/b directly and negatively regulated mTOR expression in cervical cancer cells, and enforced the importance of miR-99a/b and their targets in the malignant phenotypes of cervical carcinogenesis.

Human adipose mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal-miRNAs are critical factors for inducing anti-proliferation signalling to A2780 and SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that human adipose MSC (hAMSC)-derived conditioned medium (CM) exhibited inhibitory effects on A2780 human ovarian cancer cells by blocking the cell cycle, and activating mitochondria-mediated apoptosis signalling, and sequencing of exosomal RNAs revealed a rich population of microRNAs, which exhibit anti-cancer activities by targeting different molecules associated with cancer survival.

The coordinate regulation of the p53 and mTOR pathways in cells.

TL;DR: The results presented here demonstrate that activation of p53 inhibits mTOR activity and regulates its downstream targets, including autophagy, a tumor suppression process, and that p53 and mTOR signaling machineries can cross-talk and coordinately regulate cell growth, proliferation, and death.
