OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a very high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Related studies have shown that microRNA-543 (miR-543) is involved in the development of many cancers, including CRC. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential molecular mechanism of miR-543’s involvement in the development of CRC.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: QRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of proliferation and migration-related proteins, signal transduction and transcriptional activator 3 and protein inhibitor of activated signal transducer and activators of transcription 3 (PIAS3). Cell proliferation and metastasis were measured by MTT, transwell and Western blot. The binding sites of miR-543 and PIAS3 were predicted by TargetScan database and verified by double-luciferase report experiment.
RESULTS: The expression of miR-543 was high in CRC tissues and cell lines, while the mRNA and protein levels of PIAS3 were decreased. Meanwhile, a negative correlation between miR-543 and PIAS3 was also observed in CRC tissues. Moreover, the downregulation of miR-543 led to the inhibition of viability and the expression of proliferation and migration related proteins. Subsequently, miR-543 depletion also blocked cell migration and invasion. MiR-543 inhibits the expression of PISA3. Furthermore, downregulation of PIAS3 undermined the miR-543 depletion-mediated suppression effect on SW480 and LOVO cells. Notably, loss of miR-543 downregulated STAT3 activity, which was rescued by PIAS3 ablation.
CONCLUSIONS: MiR-543 participated in cell proliferation and metastasis by targeting PIAS3 in CRC.
