Abstract

Metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer patients. Therefore, the prediction and treatment of metastasis are critical in improving the survival of patients with bladder cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-20a-5p and NR4A3 in bladder cancer and the regulatory relationship between them. The high expression of miR-20a-5p in the bladder cancer (BCa) tissues and cells was determined by qRT-PCR. Exogenous miR-20a-5p overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of BCa cells. MiR-20a-5p inhibition inhibited the BCa cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. NR4A3 was proved to be the target gene of miR-20a-5p by the double luciferase reporter assay. In addition, the reduction of NR4A3 could promote the proliferation, invasion, and clonal formation of the bladder cancer cells 5637 and T24. NR4A3 overexpression could reverse the carcinogenic effect of miR-20a. We further confirmed that the oncogenic effect of miR-20a was achieved by promoting EMT in tumor cells. MiR-20a-5p promoted the growth and metastasis of the bladder cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of the tumor suppressor gene NR4A3 and played a carcinogenic role in BCa. Thus, miR-20a-5p may become a potential therapeutic target for BCa treatment.
