Abstract

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most frequent gynecological malignancies in females worldwide. Aberrant expression of microRNA (miR)‑206 was reported to play an important role in tumor progression. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential role of miR‑206 and verify its influence on the function of glucose‑6‑phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in CC. Western blot analysis and RT‑PCR were employed to measure miR‑206 and G6PD expression. Luciferase assays were performed to validate G6PD as miR‑206 targets. CCK‑8 assay was performed to examine the regulation of miR‑206 and G6PD on CC proliferation. The result showed that miR‑206 was downregulated, while G6PD was upregulated in high risk human papillomavirus (HR‑HPV)(+) CC. miR‑206 directly targeted the 3'‑UTR of G6PD. miR‑206 overexpressed or G6PD low-expressed suppressed cell proliferation. miR‑206 low expressed or G6PD overexpressed predicted poor prognosis. In conclusion, miR‑206 reduced cancer growth and suppresses the G6PD expression in CC. This newly identified miR‑206 may provide further insight into tumor progression and offers a promising target for the CC therapy.
