MicroRNA‑566 modulates vascular endothelial growth factor by targeting Von Hippel‑Landau in human glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo.

چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are able to function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes in tumorigenesis, and have been proposed as novel targets for anticancer treatment. It has previously been suggested that miRNAs have important roles in the initiation and progression of glioblastoma; however, the effects of miR‑566 in glioblastoma are currently unclear. The present study aimed to demonstrate that miR-566 can modulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by targeting Von Hippel‑Lindau (VHL) in glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting the expression of miR-566. Glioblastoma is a highly vascularized tumor, which exhibits increased expression of angiogenic factors, including VEGF, which are crucial in the process of glioblastoma angiogenesis. Existing research has demonstrated that VHL is a tumor suppressor gene that is associated with various tumors. In addition, VHL is able to regulate the expression of VEGF by promoting the degradation of hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α via ubiquitination. It has been predicted, using bioinformatics, that the VHL gene is regulated by miR‑566. Therefore, the present study hypothesized that miR‑566 may regulate VEGF expression by targeting VHL during the angiogenic process of glioblastoma multiforme. The results of the present study demonstrated that inhibition of miR‑566 expression increases the expression levels of VHL, decreases the expression levels of VEGF, and inhibits the invasive and migratory abilities of glioblastoma. In addition, VHL was identified as a functional target of miR‑566.

New blood forming vessels are produced by differentiation of mesodermal precursor cells to angioblasts that become endothelial cells (ECs) which in turn give rise to primitive capillary network. Human cord blood (HCB) contains large subsets of mononuclear cells (MNCs) that can be differentiated into endothelial-like cells in vitro. Human mononuclear progenitor cells were purified from fresh umb...

The von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL) is a major tumor suppressor protein and also associated with the inhibition of angiogenesis via HIF-1alpha ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. To further elucidate the biological activity of pVHL in angiogenesis, pVHL-interacting proteins were screened using the yeast two-hybrid system. We found that a mouse homologue of the long form of Drosophila t...
