Abstract

Aerobic glycolysis is one of the characteristics of tumor metabolism and contributes to the development of tumors. Studies have identified that microRNA (miRNA/miR) serves an important role in glucose metabolism of tumors. miR‑199a‑3p is a member of the miR‑199a family that controls the outcomes of cell survival and death processes, and previous studies have indicated that the expression of miR‑199a‑3p is low and may be an inhibitor in several cancer types, including testicular tumors. The present study discussed the role and underlying mechanism of miR‑199a‑3p in aerobic glycolysis of Ntera‑2 cells and identified its downstream factors. Firstly, miR‑199a‑3p exhibited an inhibitory effect on lactic acid production, glucose intake, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adenosine 5'‑triphosphate (ATP) levels in Ntera‑2 cells. Then, using bioinformatics, recombinant construction and a dual luciferase reporter gene system, transcription factor Specificity protein 1 (Sp1) was determined as the direct target of miR‑199a‑3p. Also, downregulation of Sp1 by RNA interference decreased lactic acid production, glucose intake, and ROS and ATP levels in Ntera‑2 cells. Subsequently, through a functional rescue experiment, it was identified that the overexpression of Sp1 may abate the inhibition of miR‑199a‑3p on glucose metabolism, with the exception of ATP level, suggesting a reciprocal association between Sp1 and miR‑199a‑3p. Finally, it was determined that miR‑199a‑3p overexpression and Sp1 knockdown decreased lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) protein expression, which indicated that LDHA is a downstream target of the miR‑199a‑3p/Sp1 signaling pathway. To additionally verify the regulation of LDHA expression by 199a‑3p/Sp1, a LDHA promoter reporter plasmid was generated and the high activity of the promoter, which contained 3 potential Sp1 binding elements, was confirmed. In addition, the overexpression of Sp1 led to the increased activity of the LDHA promoter, whereas knockdown of Sp1 exhibited the opposite effect. Therefore, the results of the present study demonstrated that miR‑199a‑3p can inhibit LDHA expression by downregulating Sp1, and provided mechanistic evidence supporting the existence of a novel miR‑199a‑3p/Sp1/LDHA axis and its critical contribution to aerobic glycolysis in testicular cancer cells
