Key result

ANGPTL2 upregulation, partly induced by miR-25 downregulation, promotes the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells.

Population

Colorectal cancer tissues and human CRC cell lines (SW620 and HCT-116)

Comparison

Knockdown of ANGPTL2, overexpression or… vs Control cells

Design

Preclinical

Implication

May identify ANGPTL2/miR-25 as a metastasis target in colorectal cancer models; leaves open human translation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
In vitro and ex vivo study utilizing 50 cases of colon adenocarcinoma tissues and human colorectal cancer cell lines to investigate the roles of ANGPTL2 and miR-25.
I
Intervention
Knockdown of ANGPTL2, overexpression or downregulation of miR-25
C
Comparator
Control cells
O
Outcome
Cell migration, invasion, and colony formationsurrogate

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.05

In preclinical models, miR-25 directly targets and downregulates ANGPTL2, thereby reducing the invasive and migratory abilities of colorectal cancer cells.

Cite This Study

Zhou et al. (2014) studied Colorectal cancer (n=50). ANGPTL2 knockdown and miR-25 overexpression vs. Control cells and adjacent normal tissues was evaluated on Cell migration, invasion, and colony formation (p=<0.05). ANGPTL2 upregulation, partly induced by miR-25 downregulation, promotes the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells.
