Expression and Significance of miR-125b in Patients with Thyroid Carcinoma

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of miR-125b in patients with thyroid cancer. Methods 20 thyroid papillary carcinoma tissues and their matched paracancerous tissues collected and preserved were selected. All patients were diagnosed by ultrasound and pathology. The expression of miR-125b mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR,and the expressions of Foxp3,LC 3Ⅰ and LC 3 Ⅱ protein were detected by Western Blot. Human thyroid papillary carcinoma cell line MDA-T32 was randomly divided into 3 groups: control group( no treatment),negative control group( transfection nonsense sequence) and miR-125b group( transfected miR-125b mimics),the expression of miR-125b mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR,the sensitivity of cancer cells to cisplatin was detected by MTT assay. The expressions of Foxp3,LC 3Ⅰ and LC 3 Ⅱ protein were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with adjacent tissues,the expression of miR-125b mRNA in thyroid carcinoma tissues was significantly decreased( P < 0. 05),and the expression of Foxp3 protein was significantly increased( P < 0. 05). Compared with the control group,the expression of miR-125b mRNA in the miR-125b group was significantly increased( P < 0. 05),and the expression of Foxp3 protein was significantly decreased( P < 0. 05). Compared with the control group,the cell viability in the miR-125b group was significantly decreased when the concentration of cisplatin was 30 μg/ml( P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in cell viability among the 3 groups at concentrations of cisplatin of 0,15,60,and 120 μg/ml( P > 0. 05). Compared with adjacent tissues,the expression of LC 3 Ⅱ protein in thyroid cancer tissues was significantly increased( P < 0. 05). Compared with the control group,the expression of LC 3 Ⅱ protein in the miR-125b group was significantly decreased( P < 0. 05). The expression of the LC 3Ⅰ protein showed no significant change in the 3 groups( P > 0. 05). Conclusion miR-125b is down-regulated in thyroid cancer,and miR-125b-mediated down-regulation of Foxp3 can inhibit autophagy and enhance the sensitivity of thyroid cancer cells to cisplatin.
