Abstract: OBJECTIVE:Glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) in Hedgehog signal pathway regulates Cyclin D1 expression, cell cycle or proliferation modulation. Esophageal cancer patients had significantly elevated Gli1 expression, which is related with survival and prognosis. It has been demonstrated that the level of miR-150 was decreased in esophageal cancer patients compared to normal control. As a complementary relationship exists between miR-150 and 3’-UTR of Gli1, this study investigated if miR-150 played a role in regulating Gli1 expression, and proliferation or cell cycle of esophageal cancer cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients from our hospital were recruited to collect tumor and adjacent tissues for miR-150 and Gli1 expression. Esophageal carcinoma cell line EC9706 and normal esophageal epithelial cell line HEEC were compared for expression of miR-150, Gli1 and Cyclin D1. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay examined the targeted relationship between miR-150 and 3’-UTR of Gli1. In vitro cultured EC9706 cells were treated with miR-150 mimic, si-Gli1 or the combination of miR-150 mimic and si-Gli1, respectively, to check their gene expression, cell cycle and proliferation. RESULTS:ESCC tissues had significantly higher Gli1 expression and lower miR-150 expression. EC9706 cell also had higher Gli1 expression than that in HEEC, whilst miR-150 was down-regulated. Via targeting 3’-UTR of Gli1 gene, miR-150 inhibited its expression. Transfection of miR-150 mimic, si-Gli1 or the combination of miR-150 mimic and si-Gli1, respectively, remarkably decreased expression of Gli1 and Cyclin D1 expression in EC9706 cells, whose cell cycle arresting at G0/G1 phase was enhanced with weakened proliferation. CONCLUSIONS:MiR-150 can induce G0/G1 cell cycle arresting and weaken proliferation of esophageal carcinoma cells via targeted inhibition on Gli1 and downstream expression of Cyclin D1.
