Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the occurrence and development of cancers. In this project, we aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanism of mir-30a-5p in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Materials and Methods: The expression profile and clinical significance of miR-30a-5p in CCA patients were investigated in 31 ICC and 52 ECC patients respectively. The role and mechanism of miR-30a-5p in CCA cells were investigated by up-regulating and inhibiting miR-30a-5p expression in vitro functional study.
Results: The expression of miR-30a-5p was increased in both CCA tissues and cells. The inhibition of miR-30a-5p decreased cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis while overexpression of miR-30a-5p achieved the opposite effect. Furthermore, SOCS3 was down-regulated in ICC and ECC tissues and negatively regulated by miR-30a-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that co-transfection of miR-30a-5p significantly inhibited the activity of firefly luciferase reporter carrying the wild-type 3′UTR of SOCS3. The inhibition of SOCS3 could largely rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-30a-5p inhibition on CCA cells proliferation. In clinical, up-regulated miR-30a-5p expression was correlated with large tumor size in both ICC and ECC cohorts.
Conclusions: miR-30a-5p promoted CCA cells proliferation through targeting SOCS3. These findings suggested that miR-30a-5p could be a potential therapeutic target.
