BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the potential involvement of miR-3150b in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) carcinogenesis.MethodsThe expression of miR-3150b and Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) was determined in HCC cell lines. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were estimated by Cell Counting Kit-8, wound healing and Transwell assays. The association between miR-3150b and GOLPH3 was verified by luciferase assay.ResultsMiR-3150b was downregulated, while GOLPH3 was remarkably upregulated in HCC cells. Furthermore, miR-3150b inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. MiR-3150b directly targeted and negatively regulated GOLPH3.ConclusionMiR-3150b suppressed HCC cell proliferation, invasion and migration by targeting GOLPH3.

Objective: To verify that miR-490-5p could influence hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells' proliferation, invasion, cycle, and apoptosis by targeting BUB1. Methods: Quantitative real time-PCR (QRT-PCR) was used to determine the miR-490-5p expression. Immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and Western blot were employed to detect BUB1 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ/Smad) signaling-related proteins expression in hepatic tissues and cells. The luciferase assay was used to confirm the targeting relationship between miR-490-5p and BUB1. The Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, Transwell invasion, scratch healing assays, and flow cytometry analysis were conducted to evaluate HCC cells proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis alteration after transfection. Results: In HCC tissues and cells, lower expression of miR-490-5p was detected, while BUB1 was overexpressed than controls. The upregulation of miR-490-5p inhibited BUB1 expression and the overexpression of miR-490-5p or the under-expression of BUB1 inhibited HCC cells proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased the apoptosis rate. Conclusion: MiR-490-5p could regulate TGFβ/Smad signaling pathways by inhibiting BUB1, which could then inhibit HCC cells proliferation, invasion, and migration as well as decrease cell viability and increase apoptosis.

Background As a new class of non-coding RNAs, circRNAs have been recently reported to be involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of human cancers. In the current study, we attempted to explore the potential function of a novel circRNA (hsa_circ_0013290) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Relative hsa_circ_0013290 expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The subcellular location of hsa_circ_0013290 was performed by RNA subcellular isolation and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays. The effect of hsa_circ_0013290 on proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. The effect of hsa_circ_0013290 on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The invasion and migration abilities of hsa_circ_0013290 were detected by transwell assays. Results Hsa_circ_0013290 is significantly upregulated in HCC cell lines and mainly located in cytoplasm of HCC cells. Hsa_circ_0013290 overexpression promotes cell invasion and migration and inhibits cell apoptosis. In contrast, hsa_circ_0013290 knockdown impedes cell invasion and migration and accelerates cell apoptosis. However, hsa_circ_0013290 did not affect cell proliferation. Conclusions Hsa_circ_0013290 is overexpressed in HCC cell lines and is mainly located in the cytoplasm of HCC cells. Hsa_circ_0013290 promotes cell invasion and migration, and inhibits cell apoptosis.
