Overexpression of miR-340 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis of human bladder cancer via targeting Glut-1
Abstract Background Bladder cancer (BC) has high mortality due to distant metastasis. Previous works suggested that microRNA (miRNA)-340 is a critical regulator for the development and progression of various cancers. The specific biological function of miR-340 in BC is little known. Methods In the p...

Previous works suggested that microRNA (miRNA)-340 is a critical regulator for the development and progression of various cancers. The specific biological function of miR-340 in BC is little known. Methods In the present study, RT-qPCR was performed to measure the expression of miR-340 in paired BC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues. Next, the target gene of miR-340 was identified using dual-luciferase reporter assay and its level was also tested in tissues. Moreover, cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. Finally, the expression of PCNA, Bax was detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting, as well as PI3K/AKT signaling measured by western blotting. Result The results demonstrated that miR-340 expression was downregulated and its target Glut-1 level was upregulated in BC tissues. Functionally, overexpression of miR-340 suppressed the proliferation and induced apoptosis in BC cells, while Glut-1 reversed the suppression of proliferation or induction of apoptosis induced by miR-340. Additionally, miR-340 repressed PCNA, p-PI3K and p-AKT levels but enhanced Bax level, while Glut-1 rescued the effects. Conclusion In conclusion, miR-340 functions as a tumor suppressor of BC, which inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis by targeting Glut-1 partly through regulating PCNA, Bax expression and PI3K/AKT pathway.
