Abstract
Accumulating studies have suggested the dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in brain tumors, including glioma. miR-6869-5p has been documented to be aberrantly expressed in diverse cancers. However, the precise role of miR-6869-5p in glioma remains poorly understood. This study is aimed at evaluating its modifying effects on glioma. Significantly decreased expression of miR-6869-5p was found in glioma tissues and cells. Negative association was documented between miR-6869-5p and PGK1 in glioma cells, and PGK1 was demonstrated to be a targeted gene of this miRNA by luciferase reporter assay. miR-6869-5p regulated glioma cell proliferation and invasion via targeting PGK1. In addition, the survival analysis had suggested that low miR-6869-5p expression predicted poor prognosis of glioma patients. This study has suggested that miR-6869-5p is a useful tumor suppressor and prognostic marker in glioma.
Highlights
Glioma is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy in the central nervous system
CCK-8 (Dojindo, Japan) was applied to estimate the proliferation of glioma cells according to the protocol, in which data were analyzed by the method of one-way ANOVA
All these findings suggested miR6869-5p could prevent glioma cell proliferation and invasion
Summary
Glioma is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy in the central nervous system. Its etiology remains largely unknown. During the past few decades, increasing evidence has supported the pivotal role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in malignant diseases, including glioma [4,5,6]. MiRNAs are posttranscriptional regulators of targeted genes. Many functional miRNAs have been identified as disease markers for glioma due to their key effects on the tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of cancer cells [7, 8]. Some extracellular vesicle-delivered miRNAs contribute to cell-to-cell communications in glioma, which will serve as effective therapeutic targets for glioma [12]. MiRNAs are key regulators and promising targets for glioma. The role of miR-6869-5p in glioma remains largely unknown. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the role of miR-6869-5p on glioma cell growth and invasion. Mediators of Inflammation its targeted gene and regulatory mechanism in tumorigenesis would help to provide novel targets for glioma diagnosis and treatment
