ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the expression of miRNA-296-5p in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells and study the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of DLBCL cells after interfering the expression of miRNA-296-5p.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of miRNA-296-5p in DLBCL cells line DB cells was detected by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The possible roles of miRNA-296-5p in the biological and behavioral properties of DLBCL-DB cells were explored by transfection of miRNA-296-5p inhibitor for miRNA-296-5p knockdown, and detected by using CCK-8 method, Transwell method and Annexin V-FITC/PI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>miRNA-296-5p was highly expressed in DLBCL-DB cells, and the inhibition of miRNA-296-5p could induce suppression of cell proliferation and migration, but the cell apoptosis was not changed significantly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The high expression of miRNA-296-5p may relate with the occurence and development of DLBCL, which may be a new therapeutic target for DLBCL.</p>
