Abstract:
Objective: To explore the mechanism of miR-145-5p on malignant biological behaviors, such as pro-liferation, invasion,migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) TE-10 cells. Methods: The expression of miR-145-5p in ESCC cell lines and normal cells was detected by PCR. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the targeted regulation between miR-145-5p and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R). The expres-sions of IGF1R protein and EMT related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Transwell assay and CCK-8 assay were carried out to detect the effects of miR-145-5p/IGF1R axis on the proliferation, migration and invasion of TE-10 cells. Results: miR-145-5p was down-regulated in ESCC cell lines with the lowest expression in TE-10 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Over-expression of miR-145-5p significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of TE-10 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay con-firmed that miR-145-5p targetedly down-regulated IGF1R expression (P<0.01). The restora-tion experiments further confirmed that simultaneous over-expression of miR-145-5p and IGF1R significantly attenuated the promotion effect of IGF1R on proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of TE-10 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions: Over-expression of miR-145-5p inhibits proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of ESCC TE-10 cells by down-regulating IGF1R.
