ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is the most lethal malignancy amongst women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) play a critical role in the progression of cervical cancer. Compelling evidence indicates that miR-584 acts as a tumor suppressor in some types of cancers. However, the function of miR-584 in cervical cancer has not been illustrated. In the present study, the effects and mechanism of miR-584 in the process of proliferation, migration and invasion, and drug sensitivity to cisplatin in cervical cancer were determined. miR-584 expression decreased markedly in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines compared with healthy control samples. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that glioma-associated oncogene 1 (GLI1) is a novel molecular target of miR-584. The overexpression of miR-584 inhibited the expression of GLI1, reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. However, the silencing of miR-584 in CaSki cells produced the opposite effects. In addition, the overexpression of GLI1 in HeLa-cells overexpressing miR-584 markedly reversed the miR-584-induced inhibitory effect. Flow cytometry results showed that miR-584 enhanced cisplatin sensitivity by promoting chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Therefore, miR-584 acted as a tumor suppressor miRNA and might be a novel target gene for future cervical cancer treatments.
