Abstract

microRNAs play important roles in numerous biological processes, including tumorigenesis, by modulating critical gene transcripts. In the present study, the role of microRNA‑802 (miR‑802) in lung cancer was investigated. The results of the quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that expression levels of miR‑802 were significantly upregulated in lung cancer tissues. In vitro experiments demonstrated that miR‑802 promoted cell proliferation in A549, NCI‑H358 and NCI‑H1299 cells. Furthermore, it was indicated that miR‑802 promoted the proliferation of lung carcinoma by targeting the tumor suppressor menin. Therefore, these results suggest a previously unknown miR‑802/menin molecular network controlling lung carcinoma development.
