Abstract [Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-21 transfection on the expression of programmed cell death 4(PDCD4) and cell proliferation in cervical cancer cell line HeLa cells, and to provide experimental foundation for miR-21 gene therapy of cervical cancer. Methods: Lipid-mediated transfection was used to transfect pre-miR-21，pre-miR-21 negative control and anti-miR-21,anti-miR-21 negative control into HeLa cervical cancer cells. The miR-21 expression was measured by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR). The cellular growth activity was determined by MTT assay. The protein expression of PDCD4 was measured by western blotting. Detection of the target sites of miR-21 was analyzed by luciferase report gene assays. Results: In pre-miR-21 transfected cells, the cellular growth activity increased, and the expression of PDCD4 protein decreased. Conversely, in anti-miR-21 transfected cells, the cellular growth activity decreased, and the expression of PDCD4 protein increased. pMIR-Luc-PDCD4-3′UTR co-transfected with pre-miR-21, luciferase activity decreased; while it co-transfected with anti-miR-21, luciferase activity increased. Conclusion: PDCD4 gene was the target gene of miR-21, which suggested the potential possibility of miR-21 as a target gene for cervical cancer therapy.
