Abstract
The present study was undertaken to study the function of miRNA-199-3p in the regulation of human lung cancer growth and metastasis. The results showed significant (P < 0.05) downregulation of miRNA-199-3p in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-197 caused considerable inhibition of the viability and colony formation of the lung cancer cells. The inhibition of proliferation was found to be due to the arrest of the SK-LU-1 lung cancer cells. At the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. In silico analysis and subsequent the dual-luciferase assays showed that miR-199-3p targets Sp1 at molecular. The expression of Sp1 was significantly (P < 0.05) upregulated in lung cancer cells and tissues. Nonetheless, miR-199-3p overexpression could cause post-transcriptional suppression of Sp1. Silencing of Sp1suppress the proliferation of SK-LU-1 lung cancer cells. However, overexpression Sp1 transcription factor prevents the tumor-suppressive effects of miR-199-3p on lung cancer cells. Additionally, miR-199-3p was found to suppresses the migration, invasion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of human lung cancer cells. Summing up, miRNA-199-3p/SP1 axis controls the growth and metastasis of SK-LU-1 lung cancer cells.
