ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers with significant radioresistance and tumor repopulation after radiotherapy. As a type of short non-coding RNA that regulate various biological and pathological processes, miRNAs might play vital role in radioresistance. We found by miRNA sequencing that microRNA-26a (miR-26a) was upregulated in pancreatic cancer cells after radiation, and returned to normal state after a certain time. miR-26a was defined as a tumor suppressive miRNA by conventional tumor biology experiments. However, transient upregulation of miR-26a after radiation significantly promoted radioresistance, while stable overexpression inhibited radioresistance, highlighting the importance of molecular dynamic changes after treatment. Mechanically, transient upregulation of miR-26a promoted cell cycle arrest and DNA damage repair to promote radioresistance. Further experiments confirmed HMGA2 as the direct functional target, which is an oncogene but enhances radiosensitivity. Moreover, PTGS2 was also the target of miR-26a, which might potentiate tumor repopulation via delaying the synthesis of PGE2. Overall, this study revealed that transient upregulation of miR-26a after radiation promoted radioresistance and potentiated tumor repopulation, highlighting the importance of dynamic changes of molecules upon radiotherapy.
