Methods miR-21 expression in human cholangiocarcinoma tissues and QBC939 cell line was measured by using real-time PCR and Northern Blot, respectively. Cell growth and apoptosis was analyzed in QBC939 after transfection with Anti-miR-21. Specific target analysis was performed by using dual-reporter gene assay and FACS. In Vitro invasion assay was performed to probe the effect of miR-21 on QBC939 invasiveness. Results Expression analysis reveals that miR-21 levels depicted a significant up-regulation as compared to the matched normal bile duct and miR-21 levels were augmented approximately 3. 4-fold in QBC939 cells. Silencing of miR-21 in QBC939 by using Anti-miR-21 decreased cell growth and induced cell apoptosis. RECK was identified as a direct effector of miR-21 and miR-21 promoted QBC939 cell invasion in vitro through negatively regulating miR-21-RECK program. Conclusions Targeting of miR-21 is sufficient to limit cholangiocarcinoma progress.
