The microRNA miR-33a suppresses IL-6-induced tumor progression by binding Twist in gallbladder cancer

Cytokine is a key molecular link between chronic inflammation and gallbladder cancer (GBC) progression. The potential mechanism of cytokine-associated modulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) expression in GBC progression is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the biological effects and prognostic significance of interleukin-6 (IL-6) -induced miRNAs in the development of GBC. We identify that inflammatory cytokine, IL-6 promotes proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of GBC both in vitro and in vivo. Among all the changed miRNAs in miRNA profiling, miR-33a expression was significantly decreased in IL-6 treated GBC cell lines, as well as in GBC tissues compared with case-matched normal tissues and cholecystitis tissues. In turn, miR-33a suppresses IL-6-induced tumor metastasis by directly binding Twist which was identified as an EMT marker. High expression of miR-33a suppressed xenograft tumor growth and dissemination in nude mice. The downregulation of miR-33a was closely associated with advanced clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor clinical outcomes in patients with GBC. miR-33a acts as a tumor suppressor miRNA in GBC progression and may be considered for the development of potential therapeutics against GBC.
