Abstract

Genome-wide miRNA expression profile has identified microRNA (miR)-96 as one of upregulated miRNAs in clinical bladder cancer (BC) tissues compared to normal bladder tissues. The aim of this study was to confirm the expression pattern of miR-96 in BC tissues and to investigate its involvement in carcinogenesis. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-96 in 60 BC and 40 normal control tissues. Bioinformatics prediction combined with luciferase reporter assay were used to verify whether the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1A was a potential target gene of miR-96. Cell counting kit-8 and apoptosis assays were further performed to evaluate the effects of miR-96-CDKN1A axis on cell proliferation and apoptosis of BC cell lines. We validated that miR-96 was significantly increased in both human BC tissues and cell lines. According to the data of miRTarBase, CDKN1A might be a candidate target gene of miR-96. In addition, luciferase reporter and Western blot assays respectively demonstrated that miR-96 could bind to the putative seed region in CDKN1A mRNA 3'UTR, and significantly reduce the expression level of CDKN1A protein. Moreover, we found that the inhibition of miR-96 expression remarkably decreased cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis of BC cell lines, which was consistent with the findings observed following the introduction of CDKN1A cDNA without 3'UTR restored miR-96. Our data reveal that miR-96 may function as an onco-miRNA in BC. Upregulation of miR-96 may contribute to aggressive malignancy partly through suppressing CDKN1A protein expression in BC cells.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 November 2015.
All research outputs
#20,296,405
of 22,833,393 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell International
#1,357
of 1,801 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#235,706
of 281,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell International
#18
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,833,393 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,801 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 281,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
