Reactive oxygen species regulate ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression via miR‐199a/125b and DNA methylation

TLDR
It is shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce both ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression in vitro and in vivo, and that ERBB 2 and ER BB3 expression is regulated by ROS via miR‐199a and miR-125b downregulation and DNA hypermethylation.
Abstract
Overexpression of ERBB2 or ERBB3 is associated with cancer development and poor prognosis. In this study, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce both ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression in vitro and in vivo. We also identify that miR-199a and miR-125b target ERBB2 and/or ERBB3 in ovarian cancer cells, and demonstrate that ROS inhibit miR-199a and miR-125b expression through increasing the promoter methylation of the miR-199a and miR-125b genes by DNA methyltransferase 1. These findings reveal that ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression is regulated by ROS via miR-199a and miR-125b downregulation and DNA hypermethylation.

Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Cancer Progression: Molecular Mechanisms and Recent Advancements.

TL;DR: The major issue is targeting the dual actions of ROS effectively with respect to the concentration bias, which needs to be monitored carefully to impede tumor angiogenesis and metastasis for ROS to serve as potential therapeutic targets exogenously/endogenously.
