MiR-766-3p Suppresses Malignant Behaviors and Stimulates Apoptosis of Colon Cancer Cells via Targeting TGFBI.


ABSTRACT:

Background

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can affect the progression of colon cancer cells. A variety of miRNAs, especially miR-766-3p, are proved to be abnormally expressed in colon cancer, but the molecular mechanism of miR-766-3p in this cancer has not yet been fully defined.

Methods

Differentially expressed genes in the TCGA-COAD dataset were searched through bioinformatics analysis. MiR-766-3p and TGFBI mRNA levels were measured by qRT-PCR. TGFBI protein expression was measured via Western blot. Targeting relation between miR-766-3p and TGFBI was investigated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Cell proliferation, invasion migration, and apoptosis were detected by cell functional assays.

Results

MiR-766-3p was less expressed, while TGFBI was conspicuously highly expressed in colon cancer. MiR-766-3p high expression suppressed cell malignant behaviors and induced cell apoptosis in colon cancer. MiR-766-3p had a targeting relation with TGFBI verified by dual-luciferase assay. The cancer-suppressive impact of miR-766-3p overexpression was attenuated by overexpressing TGFBI.

Conclusions

MiR-766-3p/TGFBI axis suppressed malignant behaviors and facilitated apoptosis of colon cancer cells. MiR-766-3p may be an underlying target for colon cancer.
