ABSTRACT
Objective: To explicit whether miR-200b can suppress the proliferation and invasion by targeting CD133, and to explore a molecular mechanism that miR-200b plays a role in tumor suppression in glioma. Methods: The CD133 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) mRNA-luciferase reporter vector was constructed and the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to examine the effect of miR-200b on activity of luciferase. U251 cells were transfected with miR-200b mimics and CD133-small interfering RNA (siRNA) (as a positive control) by LipofectAMINE 2000, and the expressions level of CD133 protein was detected by Western blotting. The inhibition effects of CD133 on cell proliferation and invasion were observed after CD133 siRNA were transfected into U251 cells. U251-SC cell mammosphere assay was performed after cotransfection with miR-200b mimics and CD133 siRNA. Results: miR-200b could bind to the 3'-UTR of CD133 and inhibit the activity of luciferase. CD133 protein expression was significantly down-regulated when miR-200b was overexpressed in U251 cells. Overexpression of miR-200b inhibited the invasion of U251 cells. Overexpression of miR-200b antagonized a role of proliferation and invasion in U251 cells. Overexpression of miR-200b reduced mammosphere number and the size of glioma stem cells. Conclusion: miR-200b can suppress cell proliferation and invasion by targeting CD133 in glioma. Copyright © 2014 by TUMOR.
