Abstract

Lung adenocarcinoma (LA) is a common non‑small cell lung cancer, but effective biomarkers to diagnose early LA are still lacking. Increasing evidence has indicated that the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in LA progression. miR‑339‑5p has been recently confirmed to exert crucial functions in various cancers. Nevertheless, molecular mechanisms and effects of miR‑339‑5p on LA development still remain vague. In the present research, miR‑339‑5p expression was downregulated in human LA tissues. miR‑339‑5p overexpression in LA cells could remarkably suppress the LA cell invasion and migration. In addition, further studies indicated that miR‑339‑5p overexpression downregulated both the B‑cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) mRNA and protein expressions by targeting the BCL6 3'‑UTR directly. Moreover, BCL6 knockdown could partially lessen the function of miR‑339‑5p in LA invasion and migration. In conclusion, the present data identified miR‑339‑5p as a novel LA suppressor which exerted its functions partly by negatively regulating BCL6.
