MicroRNA-199a-5p (miR-199a-5p) was reported to play crucial roles in cancer progression. However, its role in glioma remains largely unknown.
RT-qPCR was employed to analyze miR-199a-5p expression level in glioma cell lines. The effects of miR-199a-5p on cell proliferation and invasion were investigated in vitro.
We showed that miR-199a-5p expression level was significantly downregulated in glioma cell lines compared with a normal cell. In addition, miR-199a-5p overexpression suppresses glioma cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. Bioinformatic analysis and Luciferase assay suggested that the membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger 8 (MARCH8) was a target of miR-199a-5p. Furthermore, MARCH8 overexpression could partially reverse the effects of miR-199a-5p on glioma cells.
These findings suggested that miR-199a-5p may function as a tumor suppressor in glioma by targeting MARCH8.
MicroRNA-199a-5p(miR-199a-5p)在癌症进展中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,其在神经胶质瘤中的作用仍知之甚少。
采用 RT-qPCR 分析神经胶质瘤细胞系中 miR-199a-5p 的表达水平。在体外研究 miR-199a-5p 对细胞增殖和侵袭的影响。
我们发现与正常细胞相比,miR-199a-5p 在神经胶质瘤细胞系中的表达水平显著下调。此外,miR-199a-5p 的过表达可抑制体外神经胶质瘤细胞的增殖和侵袭。生物信息学分析和荧光素酶报告基因实验表明,膜相关环-CH 型手指 8(MARCH8)是 miR-199a-5p 的靶基因。此外,MARCH8 的过表达可以部分逆转 miR-199a-5p 对神经胶质瘤细胞的作用。
这些发现表明,miR-199a-5p 可能通过靶向 MARCH8 在神经胶质瘤中发挥肿瘤抑制作用。
