MicroRNA-454-3p inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in esophageal cancer by targeting insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1.


ABSTRACT: Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is the eighth most common cause of cancer-associated mortality in humans. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRs) serve important roles in mediating tumor initiation and progression. miR-454-3p has been found to be involved in the development of various human malignancies; however, little is known about the role of miR-454-3p in esophageal cancer. In the present study, the protein and gene expression levels of miR-454-3p in ESCA tissues and cells were downregulated compared with adjacent normal tissues and normal human esophageal epithelial cells. Additionally, miR-454-3p downregulation resulted in improved survival rates in patients with ESCA, and miR-454-3p overexpression significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted apoptosis in four ESCA cell lines (EC9706, ECA109, TE-1 and TE-8). It was found that miR-454-3p overexpression inhibited the expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) at the protein and mRNA expression levels. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that miR-454-3p inhibited ESCA cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis by targeting IGF2BP1 via the ERK and AKT signaling pathways in a subcutaneous xenograft tumor mouse model. These results showed that miR-454-3p functioned as an important tumor suppressor in ESCA by targeting IGFBP1. Therefore, miR-454-3p may be a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with ESCA.
