Downregulation of the expression of the lncRNA MIAT inhibits melanoma migration and invasion through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Long noncoding RNA MIAT expression is related to the development of some diseases. However, the role of MIAT in melanoma was has seldom been studied.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the lncRNA MIAT on melanoma cells.

METHOD: Microarray was used to analyze the lncRNAs expression in tissue samples. The expression of the lncRNA MIAT was detected by qRT-PCR. A CCK-8 assay was used to assess cell viability, and cell counting was used to analyze cell proliferation. Wound healing and Transwell invasion assays were used to detect the migration and invasion abilities, respectively, of melanoma cells. Western blotting was performed to explore the molecular mechanisms of MIAT in melanoma.

RESULTS: The lncRNA MIAT was overexpressed in melanoma. The overexpression of MIAT promoted cell proliferation, cell invasion and migration, while the knockdown of MIAT expression got the opposite results. MIAT significantly upregulated the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT and promoted cMyc and cyclin D1 protein expression.

CONCLUSION: LncRNA MIAT was a key factor to promote cell invasion, migration and proliferation through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings may give us a potential way to treat melanoma.
