Abstract:
Studies have confirmed that microRNA (miRNAs) is involved in the development and progression of tumors by targeting multiple genes. However, the molecular mechanism of miR-654-5p in in- hibiting the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells through the targeted regulation of host cell factor 1 (HCFCl) is still unclear. The analysis of bioinformatics datasets found that miR-654-5p was downregu-lated in breast cancer tissues and was associated with poor prognosis (P = 0. 013). Quantitative real-time PCR (Quantitative real-time PCR, qRT-PCR) showed that the expression of miR-654-5p in MDA-MB-231 cells was decreased (P<0. 05), and the expression of miR-654-5p was significantly increased after transfection of the overexpressed plasmid (P<0. 05) as compared with the control group. The 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) proliferation experiment and Transwell assay showed that overexpression of miR-654-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0. 05). Hub gene HCFCl of miR-654-5p was screened and constructed by Cytoscape software, and it was found that miR-654-5p was negatively correlated with the expression of HCFCl. The expression of HCFCl was increased in breast cancer tissues and closely correlated with lymph node metastasis, and patients with high expression of HCFCl had poor prognosis (P = 0. 0039). Dual-luciferase assay confirmed that miR-654-5p could bind to the 3'-UTR of HCFClmKNA (P<0. 05). Western blot results showed that compared with human normal breast epithelial cells MCF-10A, the expression of HCFCl was increased in MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0. 05), and the expression of HCFCl was significantly down-regulated after overexpression of miR-654-5p (P<0. 05). Transwell experiment results showed that the migration and invasion ability of MDA-MB-231 cells after overexpression of miR-654-5p was significantly decreased compared with the control group. Co-transfection of HCFCl can partially reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-654-5p on the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells (P<0. 05). In conclusion, miR-654-5p can inhibit the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells by regulating the expression of HCFCl.
