MicroRNA-26b-3p/ANTXR1 signaling modulates proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of glioma.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is a common malignant human brain tumor. The progression of glioma is associated with dysregulation of various microRNAs. Previous studies have demonstrated that microRNA-26b-3p (miR-26b-3p) is correlated with the pathogenesis of various tumors, but the functional role of miR-26b-3p and its underlying mechanisms in glioma are not clear. Here, we found that overexpression of miR-26b-3p repressed cell migration and proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In contrast, the opposite effects were observed when miR-26b-3p was inhibited in glioma cells. Anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1) was confirmed to be a downstream molecule of miR-26b-3p. Reintroduction of ANTXR1 with an ORF region rescued the suppressive effects of miR-26b-3p on proliferation and migration, and inhibited the apoptosis of
