MiR-3133 inhibits gastrointestinal cancer progression through activation of Hippo and p53 signalling pathways via multi-targets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malignant cell growth and chemoresistance, the main obstacles in treating gastrointestinal cancer (GIC), rely on the Hippo and p53 signalling pathways. However, the upstream regulatory mechanisms of these pathways remain complex and poorly understood.

Methods

Immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blot and RT-qPCR were used to analyse the expression of RNF146, miR-3133 and key components of Hippo and p53 pathway. CCK-8, colony formation, drug sensitivity assays and murine xenograft models were used to investigate the effect of RNF146 and miR-3133 in GIC. Further exploration of the upstream regulatory mechanism was performed using bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter gene, immunoprecipitation assays and bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP).
