The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-369-3p in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression levels of miR-369-3p were detected using the quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis. The cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays were used to explore the effects of miR-369-3p on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. The miR-369-3p expression was downregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, in comparison to the normal controls, respectively. , overexpression of miR-369-3p in Hep 3B and Huh7 cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. SOX4 was a direct target of miR-369-3p. Our results suggested that miR-369-3p may be a tumor suppressor in HCC by targeting SOX4.
本研究旨在探讨miR-369-3p在肝细胞癌(HCC)中的作用。采用定量实时逆转录PCR分析检测miR-369-3p的表达水平。使用细胞计数试剂盒-8和Transwell实验来探究miR-369-3p对HCC细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。与正常对照相比,miR-369-3p在HCC组织和细胞系中的表达均下调。在Hep 3B和Huh7细胞中过表达miR-369-3p可抑制细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭。SOX4是miR-369-3p的直接靶点。我们的结果表明,miR-369-3p可能通过靶向SOX4在HCC中发挥肿瘤抑制作用。
