Abstract OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate whether the expression of vacuole membrane protein 1 (VMP1)was correlated with MicoRNA210 (miR-210) in U87 glioma cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Plasmid was constructed and transfected into U87 glioma cells.The correlation between VMP1 and miR-210 was observed by the double fluorescence sumei experiment. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression levels of VMP1 at mRNA and protein level, respectively.MTT assay was utilized to examine the effect of miR-210 on cell proliferation and apoptosis.The transwell chamber assay and plate cloning experiments showed the changes in the rate of cell migration and invasion after cells were transfected with miR-210. Computer SPSS 22.0 software was used to perform t-test and analysis of variance on all experimental dat and results were considered statistically significant when P < 0.05. Results: The results of the analysis of double luciferase showed that the relative fluorescence intensity of miR-210 and VMP1 in the co-staining group was significantly lower comparing to other experimental groups(P <0.001).qRT-PCR and Western blotting experiments showed that the expression level of VMP1 in miR-210 group was downregulated (P < 0.05).The MTT assay showed that the cell length curve of the miR-210 group was less comparing to the control group (P < 0.05).Transwell experiments showed that the number of cells in the miR-210 group was significantly reduced (P < 0.01).Plate cloning experiments showed no significant difference in the number of cell colonies between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion: VMP1 is a potential target gene of miR-210 in U87 glioma cell line, and provides a new option for molecular targeted therapy of gliomas in the future.

Abstract Cervical cancer (CC) is a huge threat to the health of women worldwide. Long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) was proved to be associated with the development of diverse human cancers, including CC. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of PVT1 in CC progression remains unclear. Levels of PVT1, microRNA-503 (miR-503), and ADP ribosylation factor-like protein 2 (ARL2) were measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or western blot assay. 3-(4,5)-Dimethylthiazole-2-y1)-2,5-biphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry were used to examine cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. For migration and invasion detection, transwell assay was performed. The interaction between miR-503 and PVT1 or ARL2 was shown by dual luciferase reporter assay. A nude mouse model was constructed to clarify the role of PVT1 in vivo. PVT1 and ARL2 expressions were increased, whereas miR-503 expression was decreased in CC tissues and cells. PVT1 was a sponge of miR-503, and miR-503 targeted ARL2. PVT1 knockdown suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of CC cells, which could be largely reverted by miR-503 inhibitor. In addition, upregulated ARL2 could attenuate si-PVT1-mediated anti-proliferation and anti-metastasis effects on CC cells. Silenced PVT1 also inhibited CC tumor growth in vivo. PVT1 knockdown exerted tumor suppressor role in CC progression via the miR-503/ARL2 axis, at least in part.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Emerging research has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) attach great importance to the progression of cervical cancer (CC). LncRNA ARAP1-AS1 was involved in the development of several cancers; however, its role in CC is far from being elucidated. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was employed to detect ARAP1-AS1 and miR-149-3p expression in CC samples. CC cell lines (HeLa and C33A cells) were regarded as the cell models. The biological effect of ARAP1-AS1 on cancer cells was measured using CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and wound healing assay in vitro, and subcutaneous xenotransplanted tumor model and tail vein injection model in vivo. Furthermore, interactions between ARAP1-AS1 and miR-149-3p, miR-149-3p and POU class 2 homeobox 2 (POU2F2) were determined by bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, Western blot, luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assay, respectively. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The expression of ARAP1-AS1 was enhanced in CC samples, while miR-149-3p was markedly suppressed. Additionally, ARAP1-AS1 overexpression enhanced the viability, migration, and invasion of CC cells. ARAP1-AS1 downregulated miR-149-3p via sponging it. ARAP1-AS1 and miR-149-3p exhibited a negative correlation in CC samples. On the other hand, ARAP1-AS1 enhanced the expression of POU2F2, which was validated as a target gene of miR-149-3p. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> ARAP1-AS1 was abnormally upregulated in CC tissues and indirectly modulated the POU2F2 expression via reducing miR-149-3p expression. Our study identified a novel axis, ARAP1-AS1/miR-149-3p/POU2F2, in CC tumorigenesis.
