Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss is a major contributing factor of prostate cancer (PC). miRNA-1297 was reported to serve role in various cancer types; however, the potential roles of miRNA-1297 in PC had not been investigated. In the present study, tumor and adjacent tissues were collected from patients with PC. The gene expression level of miRNA-1297 was measured via polymerase chain reaction. Results indicated that the miRNA-1297 was overexpressed in tumor tissues from PC patients and in PC cell lines. miRNA-1297 also contributed toward the progression of PC. PTEN was confirmed as the direct target of miRNA-1297 and bound with miRNA-1297 via four binding sites. The miRNA-1297 level was negatively associated with the PTEN level. Silencing miRNA-1297 or overexpression of PTEN significantly inhibited the cell migration and invasion. In addition, the AKT/ERK pathway was also inhibited following silencing of miRNA-1297 or overexpression of PTEN. Taken together, the results indicated that silencing miRNA-1297 exerted inhibitory effects on the invasion and migration of PC cells via modulating PTEN and blocking of the AKT/ERK pathway. The results of the present study provided a novel strategy for treatment of prostate cancer cells.
磷酸酶和张力蛋白同源物(PTEN)缺失是前列腺癌(PC)的一个主要促成因素。据报道,miRNA - 1297在多种癌症类型中发挥作用;然而,miRNA - 1297在PC中的潜在作用尚未得到研究。在本研究中,收集了PC患者的肿瘤组织和相邻组织。通过聚合酶链反应测量miRNA - 1297的基因表达水平。结果表明,miRNA - 1297在PC患者的肿瘤组织和PC细胞系中过表达。miRNA - 1297也促进了PC的进展。PTEN被确认为miRNA - 1297的直接靶标,并通过四个结合位点与miRNA - 1297结合。miRNA - 1297水平与PTEN水平呈负相关。沉默miRNA - 1297或过表达PTEN显著抑制细胞迁移和侵袭。此外,沉默miRNA - 1297或过表达PTEN后,AKT/ERK途径也受到抑制。综上所述,结果表明沉默miRNA - 1297通过调节PTEN和阻断AKT/ERK途径对PC细胞的侵袭和迁移发挥抑制作用。本研究结果为前列腺癌细胞的治疗提供了一种新策略。
