Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of cancer pathogenesis, and their expression is often dysregulated in cancer cells. The role of miR-196a-5p has been investigated in various types of cancers. However, it is relatively less understood in B-cell malignancies. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-196a-5p in B cells by using a human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line, SU-DHL-6, and mouse B lymphocytes. The enforced expression of miR-196a in SU-DHL-6 cells increased daunorubicin-mediated apoptosis. Luciferase assay revealed that FOXO1 was a direct target of miR-196a-5p in SU-DHL-6 cells. The mRNA and protein expression of FOXO1 was downregulated in miR-196a-overexpressing SU-DHL-6 cells. In addition, miR-196a-5p was highly expressed in mouse bone marrow cells, compared with that of splenic B cells, and FOXO1 expression was negatively correlated with miR-196a-5p level. miR-196a-5p was upregulated by B-cell receptor stimulation, which was inversely correlated with FOXO1 expression in splenic B cells. Apoptosis was increased when miR-196a-5p was upregulated in murine primary B cells. These results identify miR-196a-5p as a post-transcriptional regulator of FOXO1 and indicate its importance in regulating B-cell malignancies and activation.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
