| Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the expression of microRNA-625-3p (miR-625-3p) in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the levels of miR-625-3p expression in different CRC cell lines, CRC tissues and pair-matched adjacent normal tissues. The relationships between the expression levels of miR-625-3p and the patients' clinicopathological parameters were estimated. The effects of miR-625-3p on the apoptosis and the cell mitotic cycle of CRC cells were analyzed with propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. The effect of miR-625-3p on the apoptosis-related proteins was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: The expression level of miR-625-3p in the CRC tissues was higher than that in the pair-matched adjacent normal tissues (P<0.05). The expression of miR-625-3p in the CRC tumor tissues was significantly correlated with the tumor infiltrative depth, TNM stage and distant metastasis (P<0.05). The expression levels of miR-625-3p in CRC SW620 cells were higher than that in SW480 cells. The CRC cell mitotic cycle was significantly inhibited and cell apoptosis was significantly promoted when the expression of miR-625-3p was inhibited (P<0.05). The expression of Bax protein didn't change and the expression of Bcl-2 protein increased after miR-625-3p mimics were transfected into CRC SW620 cells(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-625-3p may be a promising approach for the treatment of CRC by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. |
