| Abstract | Cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to the cancer initiation, metastasis and drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we identified a miR-221/222 cluster as a novel regulator of CSCs in NSCLC. Targeted overexpression or knockdown of miR-221/222 in NSCLC cells revealed the essential roles of miR-221/222 in regulation of lung cancer cell proliferation, mammosphere formation, subpopulation of CD133+ CSCs and the expression of stemness genes including OCT4, NANOG and h-TERT. The in vivo animal study showed that overexpression of miR-221/222 significantly enhanced the capacity of lung cancer cells to develop tumor and grow faster, indicating the importance of miR-221/222 in tumorigenesis and tumor growth. Mechanistically, Reck was found to be a key direct target gene of miR-221/222 in NSCLC. Overexpression of miR-221/222 significantly suppressed Reck expression, activated Notch1 signaling and increased the level of NICD. As an activated form of Notch1, NICD leads to enhanced stemness in NSCLC cells. In addition, knockdown of Reck by siRNA not only mimicked miR-221/222 effects, but also demonstrated involvement of Reck in the miR-221/222-induced activation of Notch1 signaling, verifying the essential roles of the miR-221/222-Reck-Notch1 axis in regulating stemness of NSCLC cells. These findings uncover a novel mechanism by which lung CSCs are significantly manipulated by miR-221/222, and provide a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
