MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, evolutionarily conserved small non -coding RNA molecules that mediate the posttranscriptional process of target gene, leading to translational repression or degradation of target mRNAs. A series of studies have indicated that miRNAs play an important role in tumor initiation, development and progression. In this study, we found that down regulation of miR-598 was a frequent event in CRC tissues compared to the paracarcinoma tissues. And the study demonstrated that miR-598 was implicated in CRC metastasis. Transwell migration assay revealed that elevated miR-598 expression reduces CRC cell migration. Moreover, our study showed that suppression of miR-598 expression induces CRC cell epithelialmesenchymal transition(EMT) and overexpression of miR-598 inhibits CRC cell EMT. In addition, bioinformatics target prediction identified JAG! as a putative target of miR-598. Knockdown of miR-598 was shown to upregulate JAG! expression. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-598 suppressed the expression of JAG1. Consistent results were also obtained when the regulation of JAG1 expression by miR-598 was further specified in CRC tissues. Moreover, overexpression of JAG1 induces epithelialmesenchymal transition(EMT) and promotes the metastasis of CRC cells. Decreased Notch2 expression suppresses CRC cells metastasis and EMT. Together, these results indicate that miR-598 is a novel regulator of colorectal cancer metastasis. Our data suggest miR-598 is implicated in regulating Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions by directly suppressing its downstream target gene JAG! to inactivate Notch signaling pathway.
