Although bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) has been identified as a tumor suppressor associated with breast cancer differentiation and metastasis, the potential roles of BMP-6 in regulating cell cycle progression have not been fully examined. In the present study, we provide the novel finding that induction of BMP-6 in. MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells significantly inhibits cell proliferation by decreasing the number of cells in S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in inhibition of tumorigenesis in a nude mouse xenograft model. Further investigation indicated that BMP-6 up-regulates the expression of microRNA-192 (miR-192) in MDA-MB-231 cells. Elevated expression of miR-192 caused cell growth arrest, which is similar to the effect of BMP-6 induction. Importantly, depletion of endogenous miR-192 by miRNA inhibition significantly attenuated BMP-6-mediated repression of cell cycle progression. In breast cancer tissue, miR-192 expression is significantly down-regulated in tumor samples and positively correlates with the expression of BMP-6, demonstrating the inhibitory effect of BMP-6 on cell proliferation through miR-192 regulation. Additionally, using the RT2 Profiler PCR Array, retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) was identified as a direct target of the BMP-6/miR-192 pathway in regulating cell proliferation in breast cancer. In conclusion, we have identified an important role for BMP-6/miR-192 signaling in the regulation of cell cycle progression in breast cancer. Furthermore, BMP-6/miR-192 was expressed at low levels in breast cancer specimens, indicating that this pathway might represent a promising therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.
