摘要

Background

A growing body of evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulatory factors in cervical cancer (CC). However, the role and mechanism of action of miR-3074-5p in CC remain unclear.

Objective

The objective of this research is to elucidate the function of miR-3074-5p in CC.

Methods

Tumor tissues were collected from 141 CC patients. RT-qPCR was used to detect miR-3074-5p expression. Kaplan–Meier survival curves analyzed the association between the miR-3074-5p and 5-year overall survival rates. Cox regression models evaluated the potential prognostic value of miR-3074-5p. Cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, while cell migration and invasion capabilities were evaluated via Transwell experiments. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assays (DLR) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiments identified miR-3074-5p target genes, with Pearson correlation analysis evaluated their associations.

Results

miR-3074-5p was markedly increased in CC. Its overexpression was closely associated with poor patient prognosis. Inhibiting miR-3074-5p expression effectively attenuated the malignant behavior of CC cells. miR-3074-5p directly targets TGFBR2, with inverse expression patterns confirmed in clinical samples. Rescue experiments demonstrated that TGFBR2 knockdown partially counteracted the tumor-suppressive effects induced by miR-3074-5p inhibition.

Conclusion

Downregulation of miR-3074-5p suppresses the malignant phenotype of CC cells by targeting TGFBR2. This finding provides initial insights into the cellular behavior of CC.
