Despite advances in surgery, imaging, chemotherapy, and radiation, patients with
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common histological subtype of glioma,
have an especially dismal prognosis; >70% of GBM patients die within 2 years of
diagnosis. In many human cancers, the microRNA miR-21 is overexpressed, and
accumulating evidence indicates that it functions as an oncogene. Here, we report
that miR-21 is overexpressed in human GBM cell lines and tumor tissue. Moreover,
miR-21 expression in GBM patient samples is inversely correlated with patient
survival. Knockdown of miR-21 in GBM cells inhibited cell proliferation in vitro
and markedly inhibited tumor formation in vivo. A number of known miR-21 targets
have been identified previously. By microarray analysis, we identified and
validated insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-3 (IGFBP3) as a novel
miR-21 target gene. Overexpression of IGFBP3 in glioma cells inhibited cell
proliferation in vitro and inhibited tumor formation of glioma xenografts in
vivo. The critical role that IGFBP3 plays in miR-21-mediated actions was
demonstrated by a rescue experiment, in which IGFBP3 knockdown in miR-21KD
glioblastoma cells restored tumorigenesis. Examination of tumors from GBM
patients showed that there was an inverse relationship between IGFBP3 and miR-21
expression and that increased IGFBP3 expression correlated with better patient
survival. Our results identify IGFBP3 as a novel miR-21 target gene in
glioblastoma and suggest that the oncogenic miRNA miR-21 down-regulates the
expression of IGFBP3, which acts as a tumor suppressor in human glioblastoma.
