Abstract
Several studies have shown the ability of transcription factor 12 (TCF12) to promote tumor malignant progression, but its function in glioma cells has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the data from TCGA by bioinformatics and found that in glioma tissue, TCF12 was conspicuously highly expressed while miR-218-5p was significantly low-expressed. The downregulation of miR-218-5p was correlated with adverse prognosis in patients with glioma. miR-218-5p was found to be negatively associated with TCF12 by Pearson correlation analysis, and dual luciferase assay was employed to verify that miR-218-5p and TCF12 had a targeting relationship. qRT-PCR and Western blot assays were used to verify that the expression of TCF12 was regulated by its upstream regulator miR-218-5p. Moreover, cell experiments validated that overexpressed TCF12 could promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioma cells and inhibit their apoptosis, whereas overexpressing miR-218-5p at the same time could reverse this phenomenon. Our study demonstrates the regulatory mechanism of the miR-218-5p/TCF12 axis in gliomas, which lays a foundation for searching for new therapeutic approaches for glioma.
