MiRNA-576-5p promotes endometrial cancer cell growth and metastasis by targeting ZBTB4.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have already been shown to have a strong correlation with the invasion and metastasis capacity of tumor cells. The present research examined the function of miRNA-576-5p (miR-576-5p) in the development of endometrial cancer (EC).

Methods

miR-576-5p and ZBTB4 expression in EC and benign endometrial tissues was measured using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. To evaluate the proliferation ability of tumor cells in vitro, 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and colony formation assays were carried out. The effect of miR-576-5p on the proliferation ability of EC cells in vivo was measured by the tumor formation in nude mice. The migration and invasion ability of tumor cells was determined using the transwell assay. To confirm
