Abstract: OBJECTIVES: In men, human prostate cancer (PCa) has become the second most common cancer. miRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that can inhibit target gene mRNAs. Studies have showed that the alternation of miRNAs expression in cancer is relevant to pathogenesis of tumor. In present study, we aimed to investigate functions of miR-214-5p in PCa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10 paired human prostate tumor tissues and homologous para-tumor tissues were recruited, and the levels of miR-214-5p and CRMP5 were respectively determined by qRT-PCR assay. Luciferase activity analysis was performed to explore the regulation of CRMP5 mRNA 3’UTR by miR-214-5p. Then, cell experiments, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration and colony formation ability, were performed after proper plasmids or RNAs transfection. RESULTS: In PCa tissues and cell lines, expression of miR-214-5p was decreased compared with para-tumor tissues or normal prostate epithelial cell lines. Luciferase activity assay showed a direct combination of miR-214-5p and CRMP5 mRNA 3’UTR, and indicated that the absence of miR-214-5p in PCa cells may contributes to a high level of CRMP5. Cell experiments showed that miR-214-5p can induce inhibition of tumor cell growth, migration and colony forming efficiency, promotion of apoptosis and G1-phase arrest, on the other hand, co-expression of CRMP5 somewhat counteracted these phenotype induced by miR-214-5p. CONCLUSION: Taken together, miR-214-5p shows tumor suppression effects in PCa cells. Loss expression of miR-214-5p in PCa increase levels of CRMP5 through regulating CRMP5 3’UTR, which could be a potential therapy target for PCa.
