Abstract Previous studies have shown that miR-222 targets the p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) to
regulate cell biological behavior in some human malignancies. We hypothesized that there was a negative
regulation, which might induce apoptosis, between miR-222 and PUMA in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).
In this study, the expression levels of miR-222 and the PUMA gene after transfection with antisense miR-222
(As-miR-222) were evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blot assays. Cell proliferation and migratory abilities
were detected by CCK-8 and Transwell assays. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Our
results showed that, More >
