Disease Name: | cervical squamous cell carcinoma |
Sample: | |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Interaction(miR-21/PTEN Axis) |
Validated Method: | Western Blot//CCK8//qRT-PCR//Flow Cytometry//Luciferase Report Assay//Colony Formation Assay |
Description: | We found that MC-M3AP-AS1 was downregulated in CSCC patients, and its low level was closely correlated with patients' poor survival. MCM3AP-AS1 could directly interact with miR-21. However, miR-21 overexpression failed to affect MCM3AP-AS1 expression. Interestingly, MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression decreased the expression of PTEN, which is a target of miR-21. Therefore, MCM3AP-AS1 may regulate the miR-21/PTEN axis to regulate CSCC cell proliferation and apoptosis. |
Causality: | Yes |
Causal Description: | Cell proliferation and apoptosis analysis showed that MCM3AP-AS1 and PTEN overexpression increased apoptosis but decreased proliferation of CSCC cells. MiR-21 overexpression played an opposite role and attenuated the effects of MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression. |
Clinical-realted Application: | We found that MC-M3AP-AS1 was downregulated in CSCC patients, and its low level was closely correlated with patients' poor survival. |
