Abstract
Aims: High-mobility group (HMG) proteins are oncogenic in different cancers, including cervical cancer; silencing their individual expression using sh-RNAs, siRNAs, and miRNAs has had anti-tumorigenic effects, but the consequences of their collective downregulation are not known. Since multiple gene targeting is generally very effective in cancer therapy, the present study highlighted the consequences of silencing the expression of HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3 using sh-RNAs or miR-142-3p (that can potentially target HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3) in cervical cancer cell lines. Main methods: 3′ UTR luciferase reporter assays were performed to validate HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3 as targets of miR-142-3p in human cervical cancer cells. Annexin V/PI dual staining and flow cytometry analyses were used to detect apoptotic cells. miR-142-3p-mediated regulation of cell death, colony formation, migration, and invasion was investigated in human cervical cancer cells together with in vivo metastasis in zebrafish. Key findings: Concurrent knockdown of HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3 through their corresponding sh-RNAs inhibited cell viability and colony formation but induced apoptosis, and these effects were relatively reduced upon their individual knockdown. miR-142-3p targeted HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3 by binding to their 3′UTRs and induced apoptosis but inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of human cervical cancer cells. In addition, miR-142-3p expression decreased phospho-p65 and EMT-related proteins in cervical cancer cells and their in vivo metastatic potential upon implantation in zebrafish. Significance: These findings suggest that miR-142-3p acts as a tumor-suppressive miRNA by targeting HMGA1, A2, B1, and B3 and may serve as a potential therapeutic agent in human cervical cancer.
