Abstrakt: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors. The alternation of microRNA (miRNA) expression is associated with prostate cancer progression, whereas its way to influence progression of prostate cancer remains elusive. The expression levels of PRDM16 mRNA and miR-372-3p in PCa cell lines were analyzed using qRT-PCR. The protein expression of PRDM16 in PCa cell lines was also analyzed using western blot. CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays were applied to examine cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in prostate cancer cells, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was utilized to validate the interaction between miR-372-3p and PRDM16. In the present study, markedly decreased PRDM16 mRNA and protein expression levels were observed in prostate cancer cells. PRDM16 overexpression hampered cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion, while silencing PRDM16 had the opposite effect. Moreover, miR-372-3p could target the regulation expression of PRDM16. Rescue experiments demonstrated that upregulating miR-372-3p conspicuously restored the inhibitory effect of increased PRDM16 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in PCa. Overall, our study clarifies the biological role of miR-372-3p/PRDM16 axis in prostate cancer progression, which may be effective biomarkers for clinical treatment of prostate cancer.
