MiR-143 mediates abiraterone acetate resistance by regulating the JNK/Bcl-2 signaling pathway in prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: miR-143 is known to be downregulated in various cancer cells and tumors and generally plays a tumor-suppressor role. miR-143. However, the role of miR-143 in the mediation of the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to abiraterone acetate remains unrevealed. Methods: The expression levels of miRNAs were determined by miRNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The protein levels were assessed by Western blot assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were respectively measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry. Results: We identified that miR-143 was significantly downregulated in PC3-AbiR cells compared to PC3 cells. Overexpression of miR-143 promoted PC-AbiR sensitivity to abiraterone acetate in vitro and in vivo. We also rev
