Abstract
Objective
Increasing evidence shows that microRNA (miR) is related to drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miR-34b-5p could retard tumor development, but its function in HCC is still unclear.
Methods
miR-34b-5p expression was determined in HCC tissues and cell lines. Analysis and verification of the binding between miR-34b-5p and metadherin (MTDH) was carried out. The actual action of miR-34b-5p and MTDH in the area of proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of cisplatin (DDP)-resistant HCC cells was monitored.
Results
miR-34b-5p was downregulated in HCC. Overexpression of miR-34b-5p enhanced the sensitivity of HCC cells to DDP, inhibiting proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoting apoptosis. MTDH was the direct target of miR-34b-5p. MTDH was upregulated in HCC tissues, which was negatively correlated with miR-34b-5p expression. Enhancement of MTDH can reverse the effect of upregulated miR-34b-5p on the chemosensitivity of HCC cells.
Conclusion
miR-34b-5p targets MTDH and enhances the chemosensitivity of HCC cells.
期刊介绍:
Molecular & Cellular Toxicology publishes original research and reviews in all areas of the complex interaction between the cell´s genome (the sum of all genes within the chromosome), chemicals in the environment, and disease. Acceptable manuscripts are the ones that deal with some topics of environmental contaminants, including those that lie in the domains of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology with the aspects of molecular and cellular levels. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant genomics and proteomics, which have direct impact on drug development, environment health, food safety, preventive medicine, and forensic medicine. The journal is committed to rapid peer review to ensure the publication of highest quality original research and timely news and review articles.
