Detail Description: | MicroRNAs are known to be involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression in glioma. Recently, microRNA-372 (miR-372) has been proved to play a substantial role in several human cancers, but its functions in glioma remain unclear. In this study, we confirmed that miR-372 was commonly upregulated in glioma cell lines and tissues. Downregulation of miR-372 markedly inhibited cell proliferation and invasion and induced G1/S arrest and apoptosis. Consistently, the xenograft mouse model also unveiled the suppressive effects of miR-372 knockdown on tumor growth. Further studies revealed that miR-372 modulated the expression of PHLPP2 by directly targeting its 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) and that miR-372 expression was inversely correlated with PHLPP2 expression in glioma samples. Silencing of PHLPP2 could rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-372 inhibitor. Moreover, miR-372 knockdown suppressed the phosphorylation levels of the major components of PI3K/Akt pathway including Akt, mTOR, and P70S6K. Taken together, our results suggest that miR-372 functions as an oncogenic miRNA through targeting PHLPP2 in glioma. |
The 'First Node' or 'Second Node' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with the first or second interaction node,
the 'Both the Nodes' option represents the sub-network of interacting entry with both of interaction nodes.
The 'First Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct interacting with the center node,
the 'Second Neighbour' represents the sub-network of direct or second step interacting with the center node.
Interaction sub-network based on the two nodes of this interaction may help the researchers represents all interacting partners immediately.
