MicroRNA-326 suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells by targeting ELK1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are able to function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, the role of miR-326 in regulating human cervical cancer cells remains unclear. In the present study, the expression of miR-326 was identified to be downregulated in cervical cancer cell lines and primary tumor samples, and the overexpression of miR-326 decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion in cervical cell lines. Bioinformatics prediction and experimental validation results revealed that the function of miR-326 was achieved by targeting and repressing ETS domain-containing protein Elk-1 (ELK1) expression. ELK1 was targeted directly by miR-326, which was downregulated in human cervical cancer tissues compared with that in adjacent normal tissues. The results of the present study suggest that miR-326, a potential tumor suppressor, may be used in the treatment of cervical cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRs) serve a role in promoting and suppressing tumors in various types of malignant cancer, such as cervical cancer. However, the regulatory mechanism of miR-124-3p in cervical cancer remains unclear. In the present study, miR-124-3p was significantly downregulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines compared with matching adjacent non-tumor tissues and the normal cervical epi...
