MiR-1290 promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells by targeting LHX6

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the interaction of miR-1290 and LHX6 in gliomas, and their influence on the propagation and metastasis of glioma cells.

Methods: The differential expression of miR-1290 in glioma cells was identified by chip screening. The expression level of miR-1290 and LHX6 were determined by qRT-PCR and western blot. The influence of miR-1290 on propagation of glioma cells were analyzed by MTT assay, EdU incorporation and colony formation, while the impact of miR-1290 on metastasis was assessed by transwell assay. The relationship between LHX6 and miR-1290 was testified by luciferase reporter assay. The gliomas orthotopic implantation model of nude mice was established to investigate the influence of miR-1290 and LHX6 on tumor growth. Tumor volumes were evaluated by photon density, and the expression of Ki67 protein was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

Results: MiR-1290 presented a higher expression in glioma cells and tissues. MiR-1290 overexpression significantly promoted propagation and metastasis of glioma cells, while miR-1290 knockdown inhibited glioma development. MiR-1290 suppressed LHX6 expression, facilitating development of glioma cells. The orthotopic implantation model showed that miR-1290 overexpression promoted tumor growth while LHX6 overexpression inhibited it.

Conclusion: MiR-1290 could promote glioma cell propagation and metastasis by inhibiting LHX6. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
