ABSTRACT

The functional roles and clinical significances of miR-590-3p in ICC remain unclear. In the current study, we investigated the expression of miR-590-3p in tissues and sera of ICC by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We found miR-590-3p was significantly down-regulated in the sera and tissues of ICC patients, especially in those patients with lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis. AUC curves and Cox proportional hazards mode revealed serum miR-590-3p could be novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for ICC patients. MiR-590-3p dramatically suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell migration, and invasion of ICC cells. SIP1 was identified as direct and functional target of miR-590-3p in ICC cells by luciferase assays. Finally, we found SIP1 expression was inversely correlated with miR-590-3p and closely related to diminished survival in ICC patients. These findings reveal functional and mechanistic roles of miR-590-3p and EMT activator SIP1 in the pathogenesis of ICC.
