Downregulation of miR-135b-5p Suppresses Progression of Esophageal Cancer and Contributes to the Effect of Cisplatin.

ABSTRACT: Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the commonest human cancers, which accompany high morbidity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in various cancers, including EC. Our research aimed to reveal the function and mechanism of miR-135b-5p. Our research identified that miR-135b-5p was elevated in EC samples from TCGA database. Correspondingly real-time PCR assay also showed the miR-135b-5p is also higher expressed in Eca109, EC9706, KYSE150 cells than normal esophageal epithelial cells (Het-1A). CCK8, Edu, wound healing, Transwell assay, and western blot demonstrated miR-135b-5p inhibition suppresses proliferation, invasion, migration and promoted the apoptosis in Eca109 and EC9706 cells. Moreover, the miR-135b-5p inhibition also inhibited xenograft lump growth. We then predicted the complem
