Abstract
The migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are associated with clinical outcomes, however, the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we found that miR-21 is significantly overexpressed in ESCC, lung cancer, and bladder cancer compared with the adjacent normal tissue. MiR-21 and TPM1 expressions were analyzed by RT-qPCR and WB in 30 ESCC, 10 lung cancer, and 10 bladder cancer clinical specimens, each with matched adjacent normal tissue. Knockdown and overexpression of miR-21 as well as knockdown of TPM1 in ESCC cell lines were performed using synthetic oligonucleotides. TPM1 3'UTR luciferase reporter constructs were used to investigate targeting of TPM1 by miR-21. ESCC migration and invasion were assessed using transwell migration and invasion assays. Inhibition of miR-21 reduced migration and invasion in two ESCC cell lines, and overexpression of miR-21 promoted migration and invasion in vitro. Interestingly, TPM1 exhibited inverse patterns of expression compared with miR-21 in tissues and cell lines. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that TPM1 was directly regulated by miR-21. Moreover, the forced overexpression of miR-21 repressed the TPM1 expression, while silencing of miR-21 restored the TPM...Continue Reading
