miR-145-5p inhibits thyroid cancer TPC-1 cell invasion and metastasis via ERK signaling pathway by targeting TPM3

Objective This work aims to study the effect of miR-145-5p on invasion and metastasis of thyroid cancer cells.Methods miR-145-5p mimic plasmid,mimic-NC plasmid,and TPM3 plasmid were separately or jointly transfected into thyroid cancer cells by Lipofectamine2000.Expression of miR-145-5p and TPM3 mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR.The targeted relationship was detected by dual luciferase reporting assay.Cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell method.Cell migration ability was measured by a scratch test.Expression of ERK1/2,and p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blot.A thyroid cancer xenograft model was constructed by subcutaneous injection of the right hind limb of nude mice.The volume and weight of the transplanted tumor were determined.Expression of vimentin was detected by immunohistochemistry.Expression of TPM3,ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blot.Results Expression of miR-145-5p is decreased in thyroid cancer cells,and miR-145-5p was found to target and inhibit TPM3 expression.Overexpression of miR-145-5p significantly reduced the number of invasion and wound healing of thyroid cancer cells,and down-regulated p-ERK expression,whereas both TPM3 overexpression and ERK pathway activators reversed the miR-145-5p-induced effects(P<0.01).Overexpression of miR-145-5p significantly reduced the weight and volume of transplanted tumors in vivo,and significantly reduced the ratio of Vimentin-positive cells in transplanted tumors and down-regulated TPM3 and p-ERK1/2 protein expression(P<0.01).Conclusion miR-145-5p inhibits thyroid cancer cell invasion and metastasis via ERK signaling pathway by targeting TPM3.
