MicroRNA-362-3p Inhibits Migration and Invasion via Targeting BCAP31 in Cervical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common malignant tumor in gynecology, and metastasis is an important cause of patient death. MiRNAs (microRNAs) have been found to play key roles in cervical cancer metastasis, but the effect of miR-362-3p in CC is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-362-3p in cervical cancer migration and invasion. We compared the expression levels of miR-362-3p in cervical cancer tissues and adjacent normal cervical tissues. In CC tissues, miR-362-3p expression was significantly down-regulated, which is related to the cancer stage and patient survival. MiR-362-3p can effectively inhibit the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. The dual-luciferase reporter assay results showed that BCAP31 (B cell receptor associated protein 31) is a direct target protein of miR-362-3p. The results of the immunohistochemical examination of clinical tissue samples showed that BCAP31 was abnormally highly expressed in cervical cancer, which was positively correlated with the clinical stage. BCAP31 knockdown exerted similar effects as miR-362-3p overexpression. Further GSEA analysis showed that BCAP31 may participate in multiple biological processes, such as protein transport, metabolism, and organelle organization. Our results suggest that miR-362-3p inhibits migration and invasion via directly targeting BCAP31 in cervical cancer, and restoring miR-362-3p levels may be a new treatment strategy for cervical cancer in the future.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence has suggested that dysregulation of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) may contribute to human disease including carcinogenesis and tumor metastasis in human. miR-124-3p is down-regulated in various cancers, and modulates proliferation and aggressiveness of cancer cells. However, the roles of miR-124-3p in human bladder cancer are elusive. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the biological functions and its molecular mechanisms of miR-124-3p in human bladder cancer cell lines, discussing whether it has a potential to be a therapeutic biomarker of bladder cancer.MethodsThree human bladder cancer cell lines and samples from ten patients with bladder cancer were analyzed for the expression of miR-124-3p by quantitative RT--PCR. Exogenetic overexpression of miR-124-3p was established by transfecting mimics into T24, UM-UC-3 and J82 cells, after that cell proliferation and cell cycle were assessed by MTT assay, flow cytometry and Colony-forming assay. Cell motility and invasion ability were evaluated by wound healing assay and transwell assay. Tissue microarray, and immunohistochemistry with antibodies against ROCK1, MMP2 and MMP9 was performed using the peroxidase and DAB methods. The target gene of miR-124-3p was determined by luciferase assays, quantitative RT--PCR and western blot. The regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by miR-124-3p was analyzed by western blot.ResultsmiR-124-3p is frequently down-regulated in bladder cancer both in three bladder cancer cell lines, T24, UM-UC-3, J82 and clinical samples. Overexpression of miR-124-3p induced G1-phase arrest in T24, UM-UC-3 and J82 cell lines and suppressed cell growth in colony-forming assay. miR-124-3p significantly repressed the capability of migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells. In addition, ROCK1 was identified as a new target of miR-124-3p. ROCK1, MMP2, MMP9 were up-regulated in bladder cancer tissues. Furthermore, we demonstrated miR-124-3p could inhibit bladder cancer cell epithelial mesenchymal transfer, and regulated the expression of c-Met, MMP2, MMP9.ConclusionsmiR-124-3p can repress the migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells via regulating ROCK1. Our data indicate that miR-124-3p could be a tumor suppressor and may have a potential to be a diagnostics or predictive biomarker in bladder cancer.
