Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the effect of miR-454-3p on breast cancer cells(MCF-7,T47D) and whether miR-454-3p targets RUNX3. Methods After transfection of miR-454-3p mimics and miR-454-3p inhibitor into MCF-7 and T47D cells, cell proliferation ability was evaluated by colony formation assays, the invasion and migration capacity were assessed by wound-healing and Transwell assay s. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein level of RUNX3. Results Compared with the control group, miR-454-3p mimics significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion capacity of MCF7 and T47D cells, w hereas miR-454-3p inhibitor remarkably inhibited those capacity in MCF7 and T47D cells . It was further confirmed that miR-454-3p mimics could facilitate the ex<x>pression of RUNX3, while miR-454-3p inhibitor inhibited it. Conclusions miR -454-3p could promote the proliferation, migration and invasion capacity of breast cancer cells by targeting at RUNX3
