ABSTRACT
Despite substantial advancements in screening, surgery, and chemotherapy, colorectal cancer remains the second most lethal form of the disease. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling is a critical driver facilitating the malignant transformation of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. In this study, deregulated miRNAs that could play a role in colon cancer are analyzed and investigated for specific functions in vitro using cancer cells and in vivo using a subcutaneous xenograft model. miRNA downstream targets are analyzed, and predicted binding and regulation are verified. miR-1262, an antitumor miRNA, is downregulated in colon cancer tissue samples and cell lines. miR-1262 overexpression suppresses colon cancer malignant behaviors in vitro and tumor development and metastasis in a subcutaneous xenograft model and a lung metastasis mouse model in vivo. miR-1262 directly targets fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and inhibits FGFR1 expression. FGFR1 overexpression shows oncogenic functions through the regulation of cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration; when cotransfected, lv-FGFR1 partially attenuates the antitumor effects of agomir-1262. NF-κB binds to the miR-1262 promoter region and inhibits transcription activity. The NF-κB inhibitor CAPE exerts antitumor effects; miR-1262 inhibition partially reverses CAPE effects on colon cancer cells. Conclusively, miR-1262 serves as an antitumor miRNA in colon cancer by targeting FGFR1. The NF-κB/miR-1262/FGFR1 axis modulates colon cancer cell phenotypes, including proliferation, invasion, and migration.
