miR-342-3p Promotes the Proliferation,Migration,and Invasion of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells by Targeted Inhibition of PPM1E
Objective To explore the effects of microRNA-342-3p/Mg2+Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase 1E(miR-342-3p/PPM1E)on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)cells.Methods The gene chips GSE12105,GSE23085,GSE66271,and GSE66270 were searched,and the relationship between miR-342-3p,PPM1E,and the clinical malignant phenotypes of ccRCC was analyzed.ACHN and 769-P cells were transfected with miR-342-3p inhibitor.The effects of miR-342-3p on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion were examined.ACHN cell line with stable and high expression of miR-342-3p was constructed,and the tumorigenicity of the cell line in BALB/c nude mice was observed.The targeted relationship between miR-342-3p and PPM1E was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.The cells were transfected with miR-342-3p mimic and pcDNA-PPM1E plasmids to observe whether PPM1E could reverse the effects of miR-342-3p overexpression on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of the cells.Results The expression of miR-342-3p was upregulated in ccRCC,and there were significant differences among patients with tumors of different T stages and G stages and those with different prognoses(P<0.05).The overall survival in the miR-342-3p high-expression group was significantly shorter than that in the low-expression group(P<0.05).Compared with those in the miR-NC group,the miR-342-3p level was significantly downregulated in the inhibitor group,and the cell proliferation ability and the numbers of migrating and invading cells were also significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the miR-NC group,miR-342-3p group had significantly increased volume and mass of tumor tissues and miR-342-3p level,but significantly decreased level of PPM1E mRNA(P<0.05).The expression of PPM1E was downregulated in ccRCC,and there were significant differences among patients with tumors of different M stages,N stages,and G stages,and different recurrence statuses(P<0.05).The miR-342-3p could inhibit the expression of PPM1E in a targeted way.Compared with the miR-NC group,the miR-342-3p group had significantly increased cell proliferation ability and increased numbers of migrating and invading cells(P<0.05).However,PPM1E could reverse the promotion effect of miR-342-3p mimic on ccRCC cells(P<0.05).Conclusion The miR-342-3p can inhibit PPM1E expression in a targeted way,and thus promotes the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ccRCC cells.
