Research has shown reduced expression levels of miR-154 in prostate cancer (CaP). However, the function and molecular mechanisms of miR-154 in this cancer type remains unknown.
The aims of this study were to examine the functional significance of miR-154 in CaP cells and to identify the novel molecular targets regulated by miR-154.
miR-154 expression significantly decreased in primary CaP samples compared with nonmalignant samples measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Restoration of miR-154 lowered the potential of CaP cell lines to grow and proliferate in vitro evaluated by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. miR-154 down-regulated the expression of CCND2 by binding to its 3'-untranslated region by luciferase reporter assay.
miR-154 plays a prominent role in CaP proliferation by suppressing CCND2, and it may provide a new approach to the treatment of CaP.
研究表明,前列腺癌(CaP)中 miR-154 的表达水平降低。然而,miR-154 在这种癌症类型中的功能和分子机制尚不清楚。
本研究旨在探讨 miR-154 在 CaP 细胞中的功能意义,并鉴定由 miR-154 调控的新的分子靶标。
通过定量逆转录聚合酶链反应测量,miR-154 在原发性 CaP 样本中的表达水平明显低于非恶性样本。通过 CCK-8 测定、集落形成测定和流式细胞术评估,miR-154 的恢复降低了 CaP 细胞系在体外生长和增殖的潜力。通过荧光素酶报告基因测定证实,miR-154 通过结合其 3'-非翻译区下调 CCND2 的表达。
miR-154 通过抑制 CCND2 在 CaP 增殖中发挥重要作用,它可能为 CaP 的治疗提供新的方法。
