FOXO1 is downregulated in a number of cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we report that the expression of miR-370 was upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines and gastric cancer tissues. Overexpression of miR-370 in gastric cancer cells promoted the cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth, while silencing of miR-370 showed opposite effects. miR-370-induced proliferation was correlated with the downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, p27(Kip1) and p21(Cip1), and the upregulation of the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1. Furthermore, we identified that FOXO1 is the functional target of miR-370. Restored expression of FOXO1 together with miR-370 strongly abrogated miR-370-induced cell proliferation. Taken together, our results revealed a novel mechanism of FOXO1 suppression mediated by miR-370 in gastric cancer.
FOXO1 在多种癌症中下调。然而,其潜在机制尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们报告 miR-370 的表达在胃癌细胞系和胃癌组织中上调。miR-370 在胃癌细胞中的过表达促进了细胞增殖和非锚定依赖性生长,而 miR-370 的沉默则显示出相反的效果。miR-370 诱导的增殖与细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制剂 p27(Kip1)和 p21(Cip1)的下调以及细胞周期调节剂 cyclin D1 的上调相关。此外,我们鉴定出 FOXO1 是 miR-370 的功能靶标。FOXO1 的恢复表达与 miR-370 一起强烈阻断了 miR-370 诱导的细胞增殖。总之,我们的结果揭示了 miR-370 在胃癌中介导 FOXO1 抑制的新机制。
