Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-186 on proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this work, miR-186 was downregulated in HCC tissues and cells, and low miR-186 level helped predict the occurrence of vascular invasion and poor prognosis in patients with HCC. miR-186 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation and tumor growth in nude mice, repressed migration and invasion abilities, and enhanced apoptosis in HCC cells. miR-186 also retarded progression of EMT. miR-186 directly bound to the 3-untranslated regions of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) to inhibit its expression. Overexpression of CDK6 markedly reversed inhibitory effects of miR-186 on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. Conversely, inhibition of CDK6 exerted synergic effect on the biological functions of miR-186. In conclusion, miR-186 represses proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT, and induces apoptosis through targeting CDK6 in HCC, which may provide a new therapeutic target for HCC.

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.

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
