Abstract
Wound healing is a basic biological process including proliferation and migration of keratinocyte. The effects of microRNAs on skin wound healing remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-126 (miR-126) in human skin wound healing. Relative expression of miR-126 after injury was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Cell viability, colony formation, cycle distribution, migration, and the alternation of PI3 K/AKT pathway after miR-126 knockdown or overexpression were detected, respectively. In addition, potential target gene of miR-126 was also explored by luciferase assay. Results showed that miR-126 was up-regulated during skin wound healing. Moreover, overexpression of miR-126 promoted cell proliferation and migration, whereas inhibition of miR-126 led to the opposite effects. Additionally, we discovered that PLK2, which inhibited cell viability, colony formation and migration of keratinocyte, was a target gene of miR-126. The expression of PLK2 was negatively correlated with the level of miR-126 during wound healing. Finally, we demonstrated that overexpression of miR-126 significantly increased the expression of p-AKT, p-ERK2, and PI3 K, indicating that overexpression of miR-126 activated PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that miR-126 acted as a critical regulator for promoting proliferation and migration in keratinocyte during skin wound healing.
