Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumour in the world. miRNAs are a group of endogenous small non‑coding RNAs that act on target genes to serve critical roles in many biological processes. Presently, the expression and role of miR‑3934‑5p in neuroblastoma remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of miR‑3934‑5p in neuroblastoma tissues and cell lines and to assess the role of miR‑3934‑5p in neuroblastoma. In the current study, the results revealed that miR‑3934‑5p was significantly upregulated in neuroblastoma tissues and cell lines. The data also identified TP53INP1 as a direct target gene of miR‑3934‑5p, which was negatively regulated by miR‑3934‑5p. The present study further demonstrated that TP53INP1 was downregulated in both neuroblastoma tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, the results of the current study indicate that miR‑3934‑5p downregulation may induce apoptosis and inhibit neuroblastoma cell viability. However, these effects were reversed via TP53INP1‑siRNA. Data from the current study indicates that the miR‑3934‑5p/TP53INP1 axis may be a novel therapeutic target for neuroblastoma treatment.
