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