MicroRNA-145 induces apoptosis of glioma cells by targeting BNIP3 and Notch signaling

چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of various human cancers. Here we show that miR-145 expression is decreased in human glioma samples, rat glioma tissues, and glioma cell lines, while expression of BNIP3 is increased. Over-expression of miR-145 or suppression of BNIP3 induced glioma cell apoptosis. BNIP3 is localized in the nucleus in glioma cells, and miR-145 inhibits BNIP3 expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region of its mRNA. Interestingly, miR-145 and BNIP3 regulate glioma cell apoptosis by modulating Notch signaling. These results indicate that miR-145 increases glioma cell apoptosis by inhibiting BNIP3 and Notch signaling, and suggest that miR-145 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for malignant glioma.
