The regulation of Toll-like receptor 2 by miR-143 suppresses the invasion and migration of a subset of human colorectal carcinoma cells
Abstract Background The Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-driven tissue response may promote
neoangiogenesis and tumour growth by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Methods
We investigated the expression levels of TLR2 and associated-miRNAs in colorectal
carcinoma (CRC) tissues and cell lines using real-time PCR, northern blotting and western
blotting. Survival curver was generated by Log-Rank test and the role of TLR2 signalling in
tumour invasion and migration was determined by transwell analysis kits. Results We …

Background
The Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-driven tissue response may promote neoangiogenesis and tumour growth by mechanisms that are poorly understood.
Methods
We investigated the expression levels of TLR2 and associated-miRNAs in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) tissues and cell lines using real-time PCR, northern blotting and western blotting. Survival curver was generated by Log-Rank test and the role of TLR2 signalling in tumour invasion and migration was determined by transwell analysis kits.
Results
We observed that the tissues from CRC patients express relatively high levels of TLR2. Targeting TLR2 markedly reduces the invasion and migration of CRC cells. We also found that miR-143, a putative tumour suppressor that is down-regulated in CRC tissues, reduces the invasion and migration of CRC cells primarily via TLR2. Utilising a xenograft mouse model, we demonstrated that re-expression of miR-143 inhibits CRC cell colonisation in vivo.
Conclusion
miR-143 blocks the TLR2 signalling pathway in human CRC cells. This knowledge may pave the way for new clinical applications utilising miR-143 mimics in the treatment of patients with CRC.
