Abstract: | miR-30c has been acknowledged as a tumor suppressor in various human cancers, such as ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and prostate cancer. However, the role of miR-30c in glioblastoma (GBM) needs to be investigated.
In our study, we found that the expression of miR-30c was significantly downregulated in GBM tissues and
cell lines. We found that overexpression of miR-30c inhibited cellular proliferation of GBM cells in vitro and
in vivo. More GBM cells were arrested in the G0 phase after miR-30c overexpression. Moreover, we showed
that miR-30c overexpression suppressed the migration and invasion of GBM cells. Mechanistically, we found
that SOX9 was a direct target of miR-30c in GBM cells. Overexpression of miR-30c inhibited the mRNA
and protein levels of SOX9 in GBM cells. Moreover, there was a negative correlation between the expression
of miR-30c and SOX9 in GBM tissues. Finally, we showed that restoration of SOX9 in GBM cells reversed
the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GBM cells transfected with miR-30c mimic. Collectively, our
results demonstrated that miR-30c suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GBM cells via
targeting SOX9. |
