Yu Ma, Xuena Li, Song Chen, Bulin Du, Yaming Li Department of Nuclear Medicine, The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang 110001, Liaoning Province, China Purpose: Increasing studies have shown that microRNA-4458 (miR-4458) is associated with human cancer progression. However, the molecular mechanism of miR-4458 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains largely unknown. This study aims to reveal the biological function of miR-4458 in NSCLC.Materials and methods: The expression of miR-4458 in NSCLC cells was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation and migration assay were carried out in vitro after transfection. A luciferase reporter andWestern blot assay were performed to identify the functional target of miR-4458.Results: The study indicated that miR-4458 was markedly downregulated in NSCLC cells. Overexpression of miR-4458 strongly reduced the proliferation and migration in NSCLC cell lines. In addition, miR-4458 inhibited the progression of migration and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the PI3K/AKT pathway. Luciferase report assay demonstrated that HMGA1 was a target gene for miR-4458.Conclusion: The results indicate that miR-4458 participated in the process of migration and EMT via directly targeting HMGA1 and miR-4458 might be a potential novel therapeutic target in NSCLC. Keywords: HMGA1, migration, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, miR-4458, NSCLC
