The biological role of miR-500a-5p has not yet been reported in the context of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we show that miR-500a-5p expression is decreased in CRC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Low miR-500a-5p expression is associated with malignant progression. Moreover, transfection of CRC cells with miR-500a-5p induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibits their growth and migration. Mechanistically, miR-500a-5p directly targets HDAC2 and inhibits HDAC2-mediated proliferation in CRC in nude mice. Furthermore, YY1 binds to the promoter of miR-500a-5p and negatively regulates its transcription. Restoration of miR-500a-5p expression is up-regulated via the p300/YY1/HDAC2 complex. Besides, therapeutic delivery of miR-500a-5p significantly suppresses tumour development in a xenograft tumour model and a HDAC2 inhibitor FK228-treated CRC model. Our studies demonstrate that miR-500a-5p functions as a tumour suppressor in CRC by targeting the p300/YY1/HDAC2 axis, which contributes to the development of and provides new potential candidates for CRC therapy.
miR-500a-5p 在结直肠癌(CRC)中的生物学作用尚未见报道。在这里,我们发现与相邻正常组织相比,CRC 组织中 miR-500a-5p 的表达降低。低表达 miR-500a-5p 与恶性进展有关。此外,miR-500a-5p 转染 CRC 细胞可诱导 G0/G1 细胞周期停滞,并抑制其生长和迁移。机制上,miR-500a-5p 可直接靶向 HDAC2 并抑制 CRC 裸鼠中 HDAC2 介导的增殖。此外,YY1 结合 miR-500a-5p 的启动子并负调控其转录。通过 p300/YY1/HDAC2 复合物可上调 miR-500a-5p 的表达恢复。此外,miR-500a-5p 的治疗性传递可显著抑制异种移植肿瘤模型和 HDAC2 抑制剂 FK228 处理的 CRC 模型中的肿瘤发展。我们的研究表明,miR-500a-5p 通过靶向 p300/YY1/HDAC2 轴在 CRC 中发挥肿瘤抑制作用,这有助于 CRC 的发展,并为 CRC 治疗提供了新的潜在候选药物。
