It is known that microRNA-219 (miR-219) expression is downregulated in medulloblastoma. In the present study, we investigated the expression, targets and functional effects of miR-219 in D283-MED medulloblastoma cells. We first demonstrated that miR-219 not only inhibits proliferation, but also suppresses the invasion and migration of D283-MED cells. Moreover, the knockdown of miR-219 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of the D283-MED cells. Secondly, we predicted that miR-219 targets the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of CD164 and orthodenticle homeobox 2 (OTX2) and then confirmed that it significantly downregulated the protein expression of CD164 and OTX2 in D283-MED cells. Finally, we demonstrated that the proliferation, invasion and migration of D283-MED cells were promoted by theectopic expression of CD164. These results indicate that miR-219 suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of medulloblastoma cells by targeting CD164. The results also suggest that miR-219 may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for medulloblastoma.
已知微小 RNA-219(miR-219)在髓母细胞瘤中的表达下调。在本研究中,我们研究了 miR-219 在 D283-MED 髓母细胞瘤细胞中的表达、靶标和功能效应。我们首先证明 miR-219 不仅抑制增殖,还抑制 D283-MED 细胞的侵袭和迁移。此外,miR-219 的敲低促进了 D283-MED 细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。其次,我们预测 miR-219 靶向 CD164 和同源盒蛋白 2(OTX2)的 3'非翻译区(3'UTR),然后证实它显著下调了 D283-MED 细胞中 CD164 和 OTX2 的蛋白表达。最后,我们证明 CD164 的异位表达促进了 D283-MED 细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移。这些结果表明,miR-219 通过靶向 CD164 抑制髓母细胞瘤细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。结果还表明,miR-219 可能作为髓母细胞瘤的一种潜在治疗剂。
