Nowadays, the role of miRNA in tumorigenesis has been largely reported. It was found that miR-506 might be associated with tumorigenesis of various cancers. The present study was aimed to investigate the character of miR-506 and some related factors in human osteosarcoma (OS) carcinogenesis. The expression level of miR-506 was downregulated in OS compared with the normal control group by RT-PCR, both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, IL-1β stimulation decreased the expression of miR-506. MiR-506 interfered with JAG1 gene transcription throughmiR-506 binding to the 3'-UTR region of JAG1 gene. Further siRNA strategy suggested that IL-1β may regulate miR-506 level via NF-κB, and then alter the JAG1 expression. Besides, the suppression of JAG1 by miR-506 inhibited OS cell proliferation. Taken together, our data indicate a process of NF-κB-induced miR-506 suppression and JAG1 upregulation upon IL-1β induction, which can be regarded as a new pathway for modulating cell proliferation via miR-506. It may be of clinical value in treating OS in the future.
如今,miRNA 在肿瘤发生中的作用已被大量报道。研究发现,miR-506 可能与多种癌症的肿瘤发生有关。本研究旨在探讨 miR-506 及其在人类骨肉瘤(OS)发生中的一些相关因素的特征。通过 RT-PCR,无论是在体内还是体外,OS 中的 miR-506 表达水平均低于正常对照组。此外,IL-1β 刺激可降低 miR-506 的表达。miR-506 通过与 JAG1 基因 3'-UTR 区域结合干扰 JAG1 基因的转录。进一步的 siRNA 策略表明,IL-1β 可能通过 NF-κB 调节 miR-506 水平,从而改变 JAG1 的表达。此外,miR-506 对 JAG1 的抑制作用抑制了 OS 细胞的增殖。总之,我们的数据表明,在 IL-1β 诱导下,NF-κB 诱导的 miR-506 抑制和 JAG1 上调是一个新的途径,可以通过 miR-506 调节细胞增殖。这在未来治疗骨肉瘤方面可能具有临床价值。
