microRNA miR-142-3p Inhibits Breast Cancer Cell Invasiveness by Synchronous Targeting of WASL, Integrin Alpha V, and Additional Cytoskeletal Elements. by Alexander Schwickert, Esther Weghake, Kathrin Brüggemann, Annika Engbers, Benjamin F Brinkmann, Björn Kemper, Jochen Seggewiß, Christian Stock, Klaus Ebnet, Ludwig Kiesel, Christoph Riethmüller, Martin Götte

“…While knockdown of WASL significantly reduced the number of membrane protrusions compared to controls, knockdown of ITGAV resulted in a decreased cell volume, indicating differential contributions of these factors to the miR-142-3p-induced phenotype. Our data identify WASL, ITGAV and several additional cytoskeleton-associated molecules as novel invasion-promoting targets of miR-142-3p in breast cancer.…”
