Invasion and migration of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a multistep process and an important phenotype that causes this disease to invade surrounding tissues in the brain. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of miR-590-3p in regulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis of GBM cells. Expression levels of miR-590-3p in 15 GBM specimens with adjacent tissues and five GBM cell lines were assessed by quantitative RT-PCR. We found that miR-590-3p was down-regulated in detected GBM tissue samples and all of the GBM cell lines. In addition, Ectopic expression of miR-590-3p suppressed and miR-590-3p-in promoted EMT, migration, and invasion in U87MG and A172 cells. Bioinformatics coupled with luciferase and Western blot assays also revealed that miR-590-3p inhibited expression of ZEB1 and ZEB2, which are master regulators of tumor metastasis. Our study first indicates that miR-590-3p functions as a suppressor of GBM EMT and metastasis by targeting ZEB1 and ZEB2, and it may be a therapeutic target for metastatic GBM. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
