MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be critical regulators in many types of tumors. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of miR-760 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We demonstrated that the expression of miR-760 was downregulated in NSCLC tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues. We also demonstrated that the expression of miR-760 was downregulated in the NSCLC cell lines. Overexpression of miR-760 suppressed the NSCLC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and migration. Moreover, we identified that ROS1 was a direct target of miR-760 in the NSCLC cell. Elevated expression of miR-760 suppressed ROS1 expression in the NSCLC cell. We also demonstrated that the expression of ROS1 was higher in the NSCLC tissues than in the adjacent lung tissues. MiR-760 expression level was reversely associated with the expression level of ROS1 in the NSCLC tissues. In summary, we showed that miR-760 suppressed the NSCLC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and migration through regulating the ROS1 expression. These data suggested that miR-760 may act as a tumor suppressor gene in the NSCLC partly through regulating ROS1 expression.
