microRNAs (miRNAs) can function as a tumor suppressor or oncogenic genes in human cancers. Alternation expression of miR-199a-5p has been revealed in several human cancers. However, its expression pattern and biological roles in glioma remain unclear. Expression levels of miR-199a-5p in glioma were evaluated at first. The effects of miR-199a-5p expression on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were investigated using the MTT assay, wound-healing assay, and transwell invasion assay. The expression of miR-199a-5p was found to be reduced in glioma cell lines. Overexpression of miR-199a-5p inhibits glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, the target of miR-199a-5p was predicted by TargetScan and validated by luciferase activity reporter assay. We found magnesium transporter 1 (MAGT1) was a direct target of miR-199a-5p. Overexpression of MAGT1 reversed the effects of miR-199a-5p on glioma cell behaviors. Taken together, our study revealed that miR-199a-5p and MAGT1 have the potential to be used as a biomarker for glioma.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)可作为人类癌症中的肿瘤抑制基因或癌基因发挥作用。miR-199a-5p 的异常表达已在多种人类癌症中被揭示。然而,其在神经胶质瘤中的表达模式和生物学功能仍不清楚。本研究首先评估了 miR-199a-5p 在神经胶质瘤中的表达水平。通过 MTT 检测、划痕愈合检测和 Transwell 侵袭检测,研究了 miR-199a-5p 表达对细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。结果发现,miR-199a-5p 在神经胶质瘤细胞系中表达降低。miR-199a-5p 的过表达可抑制神经胶质瘤细胞在体外的增殖、迁移和侵袭。此外,通过 TargetScan 预测和荧光素酶活性报告基因检测验证了 miR-199a-5p 的靶基因。我们发现镁转运蛋白 1(MAGT1)是 miR-199a-5p 的直接靶基因。过表达 MAGT1 逆转了 miR-199a-5p 对神经胶质瘤细胞行为的影响。综上所述,我们的研究表明 miR-199a-5p 和 MAGT1 有可能成为神经胶质瘤的生物标志物。
