Description
Summary:Objective(s): MAGI2-AS3 is a cancer suppressor gene of multiple malignancies. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an important type of leukemia that especially occurs in children. Our work evaluated the modulation of MAGI2-AS3 in ALL.Materials and Methods: qPCR and Western blotting were adopted for detection of target molecular expression. Growth and apoptosis were determined by CCK8 assay and Annexin V/PI staining. Glycolysis was detected by commercial kits. The direct binding between miR-452-5p and MAGI2-AS3 or FOXN3 was assessed by luciferase reporter assay. Tumor growth was measured in nude mice in vivo.Results: MAGI2-AS3 was down-regulated in ALL. Enforced expression of MAGI2-AS3 inhibited growth and glycolysis while promoting apoptosis of ALL cells. Moreover, MAGI2-AS3 up-regulated FOXN3 via sponging miR-452-5p. FOXN3 depletion abrogated MAGI2-AS3-mediated anti-cancer action. More importantly, MAGI2-AS3 repressed ALL cell growth in nude mice through regulation of miR-452-5p/FOXN3. Conclusion: MAGI2-AS3 inhibits ALL development via modulating miR-452-5p/FOXN3.
