Abstract

We investigated the how miR-572 regulates PPP2R2C, and studied the effects of miR-572 and PPP2R2C on proliferation and migration as well as invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. NPC tissues and normal tissues were collected, and the expressions of miR-572 and PPP2R2C were detected by real-time PCR. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of PPP2R2C protein. The target relationship between miR-572 and PPP2R2C was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. MTT assay and flow cytometry were applied to investigate the viability and apoptosis levels of NPC cells. Transwell as well as wound healing assays were used, respectively, to detect the invasiveness and migration of NPC cells. MiR-572 was highly expressed in NPC tissues as well as NPC cells, and there was lower expression of PPP2R2C in NPC tissues compared with normal samples. MiR-572 could bind to the 3' UTR of PPP2R2C and decrease its expression. Over-expressed miR-572 and decreased PPP2R2C expression could both inhibit proliferation and invasion and induce apoptosis of NPC cells. Thus, miR-572 promotes the proliferation and invasion of NPC by directly down-regulating PPP2R2C.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
