ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To illustrate the role of microRNA-1231 (miR-1231) in regulating malignant proliferative potential and DTX sensitivity to gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) by regulating FOXC2 level. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Expression levels of miR-1231 in GBC tissues and paracancerous ones were detected. The relationship between miR-1231 level and clinical parameters of GBC patients was analyzed. After overexpression of miR-1231, changes in proliferative and apoptotic potentials in GBC-SD and NOZ cells were examined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Regulatory effects of miR-1231 on its downstream gene FOXC2 were determined by Luciferase assay. Finally, the role of miR-1231 in regulating DTX sensitivity to GBC cells was assessed.RESULTS:
MiR-1231 was downregulated in GBC tissues compared to paracancerous ones. GBC patients expressing lower level of miR-1231 had worse tumor staging and larger tumor size. Overexpression of miR-1231 attenuated proliferative potential, and induced apoptosis in GBC cells. FOXC2 was upregulated in GBC and negatively linked to miR-1231. Luciferase activity confirmed that FOXC2 was the target gene binding miR-1231. DTX treatment dose-dependently suppressed viability in GBC cells and overexpression of miR-1231 could enhance DTX sensitivity in GBC. Notably, overexpression of FOXC2 abolished regulatory effects of overexpressed miR-1231 on proliferative and apoptotic potentials in GBC cells.CONCLUSIONS:
MiR-1231 is downregulated in GBC species. Its level is closely linked to tumor staging and tumor size in GBC patients. By downregulating FOXC2, miR-1231 enhances DTX sensitivity to GBC cells and thus alleviates the malignant development of GBC.
