Popis: Abstract Background Recently, lncRNA-Testis developmental related gene 1 (TDRG1) was proved to be a key modulator in reproductive organ-related cancers. The biological role of TDRG1 in cervical cancer (CC) progression remains largely unknown. Method Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) examined the expression level of TDRG1, microRNA (miR)-326 and MAPK1 mRNA. OS tissues and corresponding relative normal tissues, as well as CC cell lines and normal cell line Ect1/E6E7 were collected to determine the expression of TDRG1 in CC. MTT, colony formation, wound-healing, transwell and flow cytometer assay detected the influence of TDRG1 and miR-326 on CC cells growth, metastasis and apoptosis. Western blot examined proteins level. Bioinformatics, RNA pull-down assay, RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays detected the molecular mechanism of TDRG1 in CC. Xenograft tumour model was established to determine the role of TDRG1 in vivo. Results The expression of TDRG1 was significantly increased in CC tissues and cell lines compared with normal tissue and normal cell line respectively and its expression was associated with clinicopathological characteristics of CC patients. Knockdown of TDRG1 inhibited the cell proliferation, migration and invasion in Hela and SIHA cells. Moreover, TDRG1 directly interacted with miR-326, and the inhibition effect on cell growth and metastasis induced by TDRG1 siRNA can be abrogated by miR-326 silencing by its inhibitor in Hela and SIHA cells. Further, MAPK1 was proved to be a direct target of miR-326, and its expression was negatively regulated by miR-326 while positively modulated by TDRG1. Conclusion TDRG1 acts as a competing endogenous lncRNA (ceRNA) to modulate MAPK1 by sponging miR-326 in CC, shedding new light on TDRG1-directed diagnostics and therapeutics in CC.
