Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies globally, Unfortunately, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not effective at treating some cases of this disease, and the 5-year survival rate is only 40-50%. Cell division cycle 25A (CDC25A) has been shown to induce radioresistance in a variety of tumor cells, but the role of CDC25A in the radioresistance of cervical cancer has not been fully elucidated. Here, we report that CDC25A is highly expressed and miR-122-5p lowly expressed in cervical cancer tissues and cells. The TargetScan database was used to predict CDC25A as a target of miR-122-5p, and the interactions between miR-122-5p and CDC25A were further confirmed by western blot, real-time PCR and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Under X-ray irradiation, up-regulation of CDC25A can promote the radiation resistance of cervical cancer cells, whereas overexpression of miR-122-5p or knockdown of CDC25A inhibits the survival and induces apoptosis of cervical cancer colonies. In conclusion, our data suggest that miR-122-5p enhances the radiosensitivity of cervical cancer cells by targeting CDC25A.
