ABSTRACT
Plenty of pieces of evidence suggest that the resistance to radiotherapy greatly influences the therapeutic effect in cervical cancer (CCa). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to regulate cellular processes by acting as tumor suppressors or promoters, thereby driving radioresistance or radiosensitivity. Meanwhile, it has been reported that microRNA-1323 (miR-1323) widely participates in cancer progression and radiotherapy effects. However, the role of miR-1323 is still not clear in CCa. Hence, in this study, we are going to investigate the molecular mechanism of miR-1323 in CCa cells. In the beginning, miR-1323 was found aberrantly upregulated in CCa cells via RT-qPCR assay. Functional assays indicated that miR-1323 was transferred by cancer-associated fibroblasts-secreted (CAFs-secreted) exosomes and miR-1323 downregulation suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased cell radiosensitivity in CCa. Mechanism assays demonstrated that miR-1323 targeted poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). Besides, PABPN1 recruited insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) to regulate glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3ß) and influenced Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, rescue experiments were implemented to validate that PABPN1 overexpression rescued the inhibited cancer development and radioresistance induced by the miR-1323 inhibitor. In conclusion, miR-1323 was involved in CCa progression and radioresistance which might provide a novel insight for CCa treatment.
