Abstract

Previous studies have reported that microRNA‑133a (miR‑133a) is involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. This study investigated the effect of miR‑133a on cell proliferation in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of miR‑133a and YES proto‑oncogene 1 (YES1) was detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) assay. The CCK‑8 assay was used to measure cell proliferation. The relationship between miR‑133a and YES1 was confirmed by dual luciferase assay. Downregulation of miR‑133a was identified in NSCLC and correlated with poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. Moreover, the overexpression of miR‑133a inhibited proliferation of NSCLC cells. YES1 was also confirmed as a direct target of miR‑133a. Downregulation of YES1 was found to inhibit cell proliferation in NSCLC. By contrast, the upregulation of YES1 abolished the inhibitory effect of miR‑133a on cell proliferation in NSCLC. miR‑133a inhibited cell proliferation in NSCLC by targeting YES1, indicating that miR‑133a can be used as an indicator of prognosis in NSCLC patients.
