MiR-142-3p functions as an oncogene in prostate cancer by targeting FOXO1.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogeneous malignancy, and is a primary cause of cancer-related death in males. Forkhead box transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) exerts antitumor effects in various cancers, including PCa. However, the regulatory mechanism of miR-142-3p on FOXO1 expression in human PCa has not been characterized. In this study, we showed that FOXO1 protein levels were downregulated in PCa tissues and cells. Moreover, FOXO1 expression was a predictor of disease-free survival in patients with PCa and was a predictor of prognosis. Increased expression of FOXO1 suppressed cellular proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 in vitro. However, FOXO1 mRNA and protein levels were inconsistent in human PCa tissues and cell lines. We showed that miR-142-3p levels were negatively correlated with FOXO1 protein levels in PCa. We also showed that miR-142-3p suppressed FOXO1 expression by directly targeting its 3'-untranslated region. Furthermore, suppression of miR-142-3p inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest, and these effects were blocked by FOXO1 knockdown. In vivo experiments showed that miR-142-3p knockout impaired tumor growth. Our results validate that FOXO1 acted as a tumor suppressor in PCa and demonstrated that FOXO1 was regulated by miR-142-3p, and miR-142-3p may be a potential target for treatment of PCa.
