ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer are the most common, malignant and lethal tumors in men, and the complexity of prostate cancer (CaP) is also due to the diverse metastasis profile. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been reported to have potent antitumor activity, but whether it impacted the tumor metastasis is not fully clear. Here, we confirmed that SeNPs could inhibit the CaP cell migrations and invasions. Combined with our previous findings, we identified a series of microRNAs that could be upregulated significantly under SeNP treatment, among which miR-155-5p acts as a key component in mediating the SeNP-inhibited migration and invasion of CaP cells, through directly targeting IκB kinase ɛ and Sma- and Mad-related protein 2. The cell-based results were proved in xenograft mice modeling. These results have evidently signified the antitumor potential of SeNPs in the treatment of prostate cancer.
