MiR-451a suppression of IL-6R can inhibit proliferation and increase apoptosis through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway in multiple myeloma.


ABSTRACT: The IL-6R/JAK2/STAT3 pathway mediated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of multiple myeloma (MM), which is associated with decreased microRNA-451a. However, the biological function of microRNA-451a in MM remains unclear. The bone marrow (BM) of patients with MM was sampled, and the plasma cells were enriched. BM miR-451a, IL-6 and IL-6R levels and Ki-67 expression intensity were evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. U266 cell proliferation, viability and apoptosis were measured using BrdU, CCK-8 and Annexin V/propidium iodide assays, respectively. Total and phospo-(p-)JAK2 and p-STAT3 levels were measured by western blotting. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to validate the predicted target binding sites. miR-451a expression was low in patients with MM and was associated with the Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) stage. IL-6 concentrations were significantly higher in patients with MM than in normal controls and were inversely associated with miR-451a levels (r=-0.96, P<0.0001). IL-6R levels were positively correlated with the R-ISS stage. miR-451a was downregulated, and IL-6R was upregulated in myeloma cell lines. Treatment with an miR-451a mimic inhibited viability and induced apoptosis in U266 cells. p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 levels were significantly lower in mimic-treated U266 cells than in control cells. Thus, miR-451a was shown to regulate myeloma cell proliferation and apoptosis via the IL-6R/JAK2/STAT3 pathway and may be used to predict patient prognosis.
