BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer is of compelling morbidity and mortality due to its high recurrence rate. Little development has been made in the last decades in the therapy methods. Thus, the mechanism of its growth and invasiveness involving novel molecular targets are needed. OBJECTIVE: Our research objective is to confirm the hypothesis that miR-1-3p suppresses the proliferation, invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells. METHODS: The expression levels of miR-1-3p and SFRP1 were evaluated using RT-qPCR in bladder cancer tissues and cells as well as in normal tissues and cells. J82 cell lines were selected as experiment subjects due to their low expression levels of miR-1-3p. Plasmids carrying miR-1-3p mimics, miR-1-3p inhibitors and SFRP1 were transfected into the J82 cell lines. Subsequently, the protein expression of SFRP1 was detected using Western Blot analysis, and cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration ability was measured using MTT, the flow cytometry, the Transwell test and wound healing assays, respectively Results: Bladder cancer tissues and cells exhibited significant decrease in the expression of miR-1-3p and SFRP1 compared to normal tissues and cells, and human bladder cancer cell line J82 exhibited the most significant decrease in these expressions (P < 0.05). MiR-1-3p up-regulates SFRP1 expression in bladder cancer cells, and the over-expression of miR-1-3p can suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration ability of bladder cancer cells. This mechanism is similar to the effect of SFRP1 over-expression on bladder cancer cells. CONCLUSION: MiR-1-3p suppresses the proliferation, invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells by up-regulating SFRP1 expression.
