چکیده

The incidence and mortality of liver cancer increased year by year. Our country presents high incidence of liver cancer. MicroRNAs have tissue sensitivity as tumor biomarkers that play a role by promoting tumor growth as oncogenes or inhibit malignant cell growth as tumor suppressor genes. Studies showed that miR-15b abnormal expression in the tumor and can be treated as one of the tumor molecular markers. However, miR-15b expression and role in the liver cancer cells have not been elucidated. This study intended to explore the mechanism of miR-15b effect on liver cancer occurrence and development. Liver cancer cell line HepG2 was transfected with miR-15b mimic or inhibitor. Real-time PCR was applied to detect miR-15b expression. MTT was used to test cell proliferation. Transwell assay was performed to determine cell invasive ability. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect BCL2 expression. MiR-15b mimic transfection promoted miR-15b overexpression and inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation significantly (P < 0.05). MiR-15b overexpression downregulated BCL2 mRNA and protein expression obviously (P < 0.05). On the contrary, miR-15b inhibitor transfection markedly reduced miR-15b expression in liver cancer cells (P < 0.05), promoted tumor cell proliferation, and increased BCL2 mRNA and protein expression. MiR-15b expression changes did not affect cell invasion (P > 0.05). MiR-15b can inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation and down-regulate BCL2 mRNA and protein expression.

miR‐15b‐5p facilitates the tumorigenicity by targeting RECK and predicts tumour recurrence in prostate cancer

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to participate in many biological behaviours of multiple malignancies. Recent studies have shown that miR-15b-5p (miR-15b) exhibits dual roles by accelerating or blocking tumour progression. However, the molecular mechanisms by which miR-15b contributes to prostate cancer (PCa) are still elusive. Here, miR-15b expression was found significantly up-regulated...

MicroRNA-15b/16 Attenuates Vascular Neointima Formation by Promoting the Contractile Phenotype of Vascular Smooth Muscle Through Targeting YAP.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the functional role of the microRNA (miR)-15b/16 in vascular smooth muscle (SM) phenotypic modulation. APPROACH AND RESULTS We found that miR-15b/16 is one of the most abundant mRs expressed in contractile vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, when contractile VSMCs get converted to a synthetic phenotype, miR-15b/16 expression is significantly reduced. Knocki...

High expression of microRNA-15b predicts a low risk of tumor recurrence following curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) have recently been implicated in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well known for frequent relapses following curative resection. We attempted to identify the miRNAs associated with HCC recurrence. We analyzed miRNA expression profiles in 25 pairs of HCC and adjacent non-tumor liver tissues from HCC patients using miRNA microarray. Out of ...

MiR-15b Targets Cyclin D1 to Regulate Proliferation and Apoptosis in Glioma Cells

AIM To investigate the role and mechanism of miR-15b in the proliferation and apoptosis of glioma. METHODS The miR-15b mimics were transfected into human glioma cells to upregulate the miR-15b expression. Cyclin D1 was determined by both western blotting analysis and luciferase reporter assay. Methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry were employed to detect the cell proliferation, c...

miR-15b-5p induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma, both in vitro and in vivo, by suppressing Rab1A

In human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), aberrant expression of miRNAs correlates with tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration by targeting downstream proteins. miR-15b levels are reported increased in HCC tissues; however, they negatively correlate to HCC recurrence. Our aim was to understand the reason for this phenomenon. We used the reverse transcription-polymerase chai...
