Aberrant methylation of miR-124 upregulates DNMT3B in colorectal cancer to accelerate invasion and migration
ARCHIVES OF PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2022)
摘要
The dysregulation of microRNA expression is significantly associated with the initiation and development of CRC. miR-124 is markedly downregulated in colorectal cancer. In the present study, the effects of methylation, over expression and downregulation of miR-124 and its target gene DNMT3B on the proliferation, migration and invasion of colorectal cell line were investigated. The promoter methylation status of miR-124 in the CRC was investigated by methylation specific PCR (MSP). The potential role of miR-124 expression in CRC cells was investigated using the demethylation reagent 5-Aza-CdR and transfection of miR-124 mimic/antimir. MSP revealed that miR-124 promoter region was hypermethylated, result in its significant downregulation in tumour tissues. We showed miR-124 expression was upregulated following 5-AZA-CdR treatment. Transfected Hct-116 cell line with miR-124 leads to decreased DNMT3B expression, cell proliferation, migration and invasion of HCT-116. In conclusion, our data indicate that miR-124 suppress colorectal cancer proliferation, migration and invasion through downregulating DNMT3B level.
