MiR-455-5p enhances 5-fluorouracil sensitivity in colorectal cancer cells by targeting PIK3R1 and DEPDC1.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study has demonstrated that miR-455-5p was a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-455-5p in 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) in CRC. The expression of miR-455-5p, PIK3R1, and DEPDC1 was analyzed in HT-29 cells after treatment with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 2.5, and 12.5 μM) of 5-Fu. The effects of miR-455-5p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. PIK3R1 and DEPDC1 were overexpressed to measure the mechanism of miR-455-5p on 5-Fu sensitivity. And the direct binding between miR-455-5p and DEPDC1 was detected by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. We found that miR-455-5p decreased, while PIK3R1 and DEPDC1 increased after 5-Fu treatment. miR-455-5p mimic significantly suppressed cell viabil
