The present study aimed to evaluate the underlying mechanism of microRNA-203 (miR-203) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involving the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The results revealed downregulated miR-203 and upregulated CAV1 in RCC tissues. Upregulated miR-203 and downregulated CAV1 increased E-cadherin expression and cell apoptosis, decreased β-catenin and N-cadherin expression and cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and blocked cell cycle entry. CAV1, a target gene of miR-203, decreased by up-regulated miR-203, and silencing CAV1 led to the inactivation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. In conclusion, our findings suggested that miR-203-mediated direct suppression of CAV1 inhibits EMT of RCC cells via inactivation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
本研究旨在评估 microRNA-203(miR-203)在肾细胞癌(RCC)中涉及 PI3K/AKT 信号通路的潜在机制。结果显示,RCC 组织中 miR-203 下调,CAV1 上调。上调的 miR-203 和下调的 CAV1 增加了 E-钙黏蛋白的表达和细胞凋亡,降低了β-连环蛋白和 N-钙黏蛋白的表达和细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭,并阻止了细胞周期进入。CAV1 是 miR-203 的靶基因,上调的 miR-203 使其下调,沉默 CAV1 导致 PI3K/AKT 信号通路失活。总之,我们的研究结果表明,miR-203 通过直接抑制 CAV1 抑制了 RCC 细胞的 EMT,从而抑制了 PI3K/AKT 信号通路的激活。
