Background

Prostate cancer (PC) is a common urinary system malignancy, and advanced PC patients had a poor prognosis due to recurrence or distant metastasis. Therefore, it's imperative to reveal more details in tumorigenesis and prognosis of PC patients.

Conclusions

Herein, we demonstrated that hsa-mir-503 and hsa-mir-1247 could serve as new prognostic markers of PC, and hsa-mir-1247 had great potential to inhibit PC progression by suppressing the migration and invasion ability in vitro and in vivo.

Methods

The miRNA and mRNA expression profile data of 485 PC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The univariate Cox regression was applied to screen miRNAs relating to prognosis of PC. Then miRTarBase was used to predict target mRNAs of miRNAs. The hsa-mir-503/hsa-mir-1247 knockdown in 22RV1 cells was established to evaluate the effect of these two miRNAs on tumor cell migration and invasion ability. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of hsa-mir-503/hsa-mir-1247 knockdown on 22RV1 apoptosis rate.

Results

Univariate Cox regression analysis identified hsa-mir-503 as a poor and hsa-mir-1247 as a favorable prognostic marker. Totally 649 target mRNAs were screened, among which DUSP19, FGF2, and SLC2A5 had a negative correlation with hsa-mir-503, while FGF2 and VSTM4 had a positive correlation with hsa-mir-1247. In 22RV1 cells, hsa-mir-503 was up-regulated, and hsa-mir-1247 was down-regulated. hsa-mir-503 knockdown attenuated the migration and invasion of 22RV1 cells, while hsa-mir-1247 knockdown exhibited the opposite effect. In addition, hsa-mir-503 knockdown promoted 22RV1 cell apoptosis. hsa-mir-1247 overexpression significantly inhibited the tumor growth of PC in vivo. Conclusions: Herein, we demonstrated that hsa-mir-503 and hsa-mir-1247 could serve as new prognostic markers of PC, and hsa-mir-1247 had great potential to inhibit PC progression by suppressing the migration and invasion ability in vitro and in vivo.
