MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been increasingly exploited in human malignancies. The regulation of microRNA-455-5p (miR-455-5p) has been shown in several cancers, except for cervical carcinoma. Therefore, the role of miR-455-5p was exploited in cervical carcinoma.
The qRT-PCR experiment was used to assess miR-455-5p and S1PR1 expression levels. We explored the function of miR-455-5p through MTT and Transwell assays. The mTOR pathway and cell apoptosis were detected by Western blot assays. The relationship between miR-455-5p and S1PR1 was testified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.
MiR-455-5p expression was decreased in cervical carcinoma, which was related to poor clinical outcome in cervical carcinoma patients. MiR-455-5p inhibited cell viability and metastasis in cervical carcinoma. Further, S1PR1 is a direct target of miR-455-5p. S1PR1 recovered the inhibition of cell viability and metastasis induced by miR-455-5p in cervical carcinoma. In addition, miR-455-5p induced cell apoptosis and inactivated the mTOR pathway in cervical carcinoma.
MiR-455-5p exerts inhibitory effect in cervical carcinoma through targeting S1PR1 and blocking the mTOR pathway.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) 在人类恶性肿瘤中得到了越来越多的应用。miR-455-5p 的调控在几种癌症中得到了证实,除了宫颈癌。因此,我们研究了 miR-455-5p 在宫颈癌中的作用。
采用 qRT-PCR 实验检测 miR-455-5p 和 S1PR1 的表达水平。通过 MTT 和 Transwell 实验探索 miR-455-5p 的功能。通过 Western blot 实验检测 mTOR 通路和细胞凋亡。通过双荧光素酶报告实验验证 miR-455-5p 和 S1PR1 之间的关系。
miR-455-5p 在宫颈癌中表达降低,与宫颈癌患者的不良临床结局相关。miR-455-5p 抑制宫颈癌细胞的活力和转移。进一步研究表明,S1PR1 是 miR-455-5p 的直接靶基因。S1PR1 恢复了 miR-455-5p 对宫颈癌细胞活力和转移的抑制作用。此外,miR-455-5p 诱导宫颈癌细胞凋亡并抑制 mTOR 通路。
miR-455-5p 通过靶向 S1PR1 并阻断 mTOR 通路在宫颈癌中发挥抑制作用。
