The epigenetically-regulated miR-34a targeting c-SRC suppresses RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway in K-562 cells
2017
Abstract Previous reports show that miR-34a suppressed K-562 cell proliferation and contributed to megakaryocytic differentiation of K-562 cells. Here, we reported that miR-34a, a tumor suppressor gene, is down-regulated in the K-562 cells and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients due to aberrant DNA hypermethylation. c-SRC is a target of miR-34a. Restoring miR-34a expression resulted in down-regulation of c-SRC and phosphorylated (Tyr416) c-SRC protein in K-562 cells, which consequently triggered suppression of the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway to decrease cell proliferation.
