Bladder cancer is the most frequent tumor of the urinary system. Despite variety of new treatment options, bladder cancer remains a main global medical problem. Our purpose was to explore the potential molecular and therapeutic targets of bladder cancer diagnosis.
The qRT-PCR was used to assess the expression of miR-20a in tissues and cell lines. Counting Cell Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was carried out to evaluate cell proliferation. Cell migration was calculated using the transwell assay.
The expression of miR-20a increased and PDCD4 decreased in bladder cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. Overexpression of miR-20a promoted T24 cell proliferation and migration, while miR-20a inhibitor suppressed cell proliferation and migration. MiR-20a targeted PDCD4 to regulate its expression in T24 cells. MiR-20a is inversely related to PDCD4 and PTENPL in bladder cancer tissues. Upregulation of PDCD4 suppressed T24 cell proliferation and migration.
The PTENP1/miR-20a/PTEN axis was involved in the progression of bladder cancer. Our study investigated the function of miR-20a in bladder cancer and provided new insights into the treatment of bladder cancer.
膀胱癌是泌尿系统最常见的肿瘤。尽管有多种新的治疗选择,但膀胱癌仍然是一个主要的全球医学问题。我们的目的是探讨膀胱癌诊断的潜在分子和治疗靶点。
采用 qRT-PCR 检测组织和细胞系中 miR-20a 的表达。用细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)测定评估细胞增殖。用 Transwell 测定法计算细胞迁移。
与正常组织相比,膀胱癌组织中 miR-20a 的表达增加,PDCD4 减少。miR-20a 的过表达促进了 T24 细胞的增殖和迁移,而 miR-20a 抑制剂则抑制了细胞的增殖和迁移。miR-20a 在 T24 细胞中靶向 PDCD4 以调节其表达。miR-20a 与膀胱癌组织中的 PDCD4 和 PTENPL 呈负相关。PDCD4 的上调抑制了 T24 细胞的增殖和迁移。
PTENP1/miR-20a/PTEN 轴参与了膀胱癌的进展。本研究探讨了 miR-20a 在膀胱癌中的作用,为膀胱癌的治疗提供了新的思路。
