Recently, miR-133a-3p has been identified as a marker for human colorectal cancer (CRC) and the association between miR-133a-3p and aquaporin 1 (AQP1) has been described in endothelial cells. However, the regulatory functions of the miR-133a-3p/AQP1 axis remain unclear in CRC. The present study analyzed the expression of miR-133a-3p and AQP1 in CRC tissues (n=56) and cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. The χ2 test was used to assess the associations between miR-133a-3p/AQP1 and clinicopathological features of patients with CRC. Next, the functional role of miR-133a-3p/AQP1 in CRC was evaluated in vitro by performing Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays. Moreover, the online software tool TargetScan7.1 was used to predict AQP1 as the target gene of miR-133a-3p, followed by validation using a luciferase reporter assay. The results showed that miR-133a-3p was significantly downregulated, while AQP1 was upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines compared with corresponding controls. Clinically, it was demonstrated that miR-133a-3p/AQP1 expression was significantly associated with tumor TNM stage (P=0.020). Functional experiments indicated that miR-133a-3p-overexpression remarkably suppressed, while knockdown promoted, cell proliferation, migration and invasion in CRC cells. Mechanically, AQP1 was identified and validated as a target gene of miR-133a-3p in CRC cells. The expression level of AQP1 mRNA was not correlated with miR-133a-3p expression in CRC tissues. Furthermore, AQP1-knockdown induced, while overexpression reversed, the suppressive effects of miR-133a-3p on CRC cells. Taken together, these findings suggested that miR-133a-3p might be a tumor suppressor by suppressing cell proliferation, migration and invasion via targeting AQP1.
