TGF-β1 Reduces miR-29a Expression to Promote Tumorigenicity and Metastasis of Cholangiocarcinoma by Targeting HDAC4

Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and miRNAs play important roles in cholangiocarcinoma progression. In this study, miR-29a level was found significantly decreased in both cholangiocarcinoma tissues and tumor cell lines. TGF-β1 reduced miR-29a expression in tumor cell lines. Furthermore, anti-m...

Description
Summary:Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and miRNAs play important roles in cholangiocarcinoma progression. In this study, miR-29a level was found significantly decreased in both cholangiocarcinoma tissues and tumor cell lines. TGF-β1 reduced miR-29a expression in tumor cell lines. Furthermore, anti-miR-29a reduced the proliferation and metastasis capacity of cholangiocarcinoma cell lines in vitro, overexpression of miR-29a counteracted TGF-β1-mediated cell growth and metastasis. Subsequent investigation identified HDAC4 is a direct target of miR-29a. In addition, restoration of HDAC4 attenuated miR-29a-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation and metastasis. TGF-β1/miR-29a/HDAC4 pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma and our data provide new therapeutic targets for cholangiocarcinoma.
