Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are dysregulated in cancers, including human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The function of MicroRNA-107-5p (miR-107-5p) in NSCLC is not fully elucidated. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a cancer-driven gene in tumorigenesis. In this study, we found that miR-107-5p was significantly decreased in NSCLC tissues and NSCLC cell lines. Moreover, our results indicated that miR-107-5p could suppress cell proliferation, inhibit metastasis, impede cell cycle, and promote apoptosis via directly targeting EGFR. We also investigated roles of miR-107-5p in vivo. The results showed that it could inhibit tumor growth. Therefore, our study demonstrated that miR-107-5p not only suppressed the progression in NSCLC cells by inhibiting the expression of EGFR, but also could be a promising and a new potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.
