BACKGROUND: Metastasis is responsible for the rapid recurrence and poor survival
of malignancies. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has a critical role in
metastasis. Increasing evidence indicates that EMT can be regulated by microRNAs
(miRNAs). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-26b in
modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC), as well as to identify its underlying mechanism of action. METHODS: The
expression level of miR-26b was assessed in multiple HCC cell lines (HepG2,
MHCC97H, Hep3B, MHCC97L, HCCC9810, BEL-7402, Huh7 and QGY-7703), as well as in
liver tissue from patients with HCC. Follow-up studies examined the effects of a
miR-26b mimic (increased expression) and a miR-26b inhibitor (decreased
expression) on markers of EMT, wound healing and cell migration. The molecular
target of miR-26b was also identified using a computer algorithm and confirmed
experimentally. RESULTS: MiR-26b expression was decreased in HCC cell lines and
was inversely correlated with the grade of HCC. Increased expression of miR-26b
inhibited the migration and invasiveness of HCC cell lines, which was accompanied
by decreased expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin and increased
expression of the mesenchymal marker vimentin, at both the mRNA and protein
expression levels. A binding site for miR-26b was theoretically identified in the
3'UTR of USP9X. Further studies revealed that overexpression of miR-26b repressed
the endogenous level of USP9X protein expression. Overexpression of miR-26b also
repressed Smad4 expression, whereas its inhibition elevated Smad4 expression.
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our results indicate that miR-26b were inhibited in
HCC. In HCC cell lines, miR-26b targeted the 3'UTR of USP9X, which in turn
affects EMT through Smad4 and the TGF-? signaling pathway. Our analysis of
clinical HCC samples verifies that miR-26b also targets USP9X expression to
inhibit the EMT of hepatocytes. Thus, miR-26b may have some effects on the EMT of
HCC cells.
