Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of microRNA-26a (miR-26a) in cell migration and invasion in cervical cancer and its regulatory effects on high mobility group protein A1(HMGA1). Methods Both HeLa and SiHa cells were divided into four groups:miR-26a mimic group,mimic control group,miR-26a inhibitor group and inhibitor control group. MiR-26a expression was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Target genes for miR-26a-5p were predicted by bioinformatics and verified by dual-luciferase reporting system. HMGA1 expression was evaluated by Western blot and qRT-PCR. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed by in vitro assays. Results (1) HMGA1 was predicted as one of the potential targets of miR-26a by TargetScan. Results of dual-luciferase activity assay further con-firmed that HMGA1 was directly regulated by miR-26a. (2) Expression of miR-26a and HMGA1 at mRNA level was respectively enhanced and inhibited in miR-26a mimic-transfected HeLa as well as SiHa cells as compared with those in the corresponding mimic control groups (P<0.05). On the contrary, expression of miR-26a and HMGA1 at mRNA level was respectively reduced and increased in miR-26a inhibitor groups as compared with those in the corresponding inhibitor control groups(P<0.05). (3) Expression of HMGA1 in miR-26a mimic-transfected HeLa and SiHa cells was lower than that in the corresponding mimic control groups(P<0.05). But expression of HMGA1 in miR-26a inhibitor groups was higher than that in the corre-sponding inhibitor control groups(P<0.05). (4) Abilities of cell migration and invasion were suppressed in miR-26a mimic groups as compared with those in the corresponding mimic control groups,but were enhanced in miR-26a inhibitor groups as compared with those in the corresponding inhibitor control groups(P<0.05). Conclusion MiR-26a can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of HeLa and SiHa cells through targeting HMGA1,suggesting that miR-26a is closely related to cervical cancer and might be associated with chemo-therapy resistance in cervical cancer. This study might provide a new strategy for the prevention and treat-ment of cervical cancer.
