To the best of our knowledge, the effect of miR-212-3p on sex-determining region Y-box 11 (SOX11) expression has not been previously investigated and how this effect affects cell proliferation and migration in lymphoma remains unclear. The present study aimed to assess the association between microRNA-212-3p (miR-212-3p) and SOX11, and the effects of miR-212-3p on cell proliferation and migration in mantle cell lymphoma. Cancer tissue and corresponding paracancerous tissue samples were collected from 65 patients with mantle cell lymphoma. The mRNA expression levels of miR-212-3p and SOX11 were analyzed using quantitative PCR, and SOX11 protein expression was determined using western blotting. Following transfection, the miR-212-3p mimic group exhibited a significantly lower SOX11 mRNA and protein expression than the miR-NC group. After 48-72 h of transfection, cell proliferation in the miR-212-3p mimic group was significantly lower than that in the miR-NC group. Furthermore, the miR-212-3p mimic group exhibited significantly lower cell invasion and significantly higher apoptosis than the miR-NC group. The current results suggested that miR-212-3p inhibited lymphoma cell proliferation and migration, and promoted their apoptosis by specifically regulating SOX11. Therefore, miR-212-3p may serve as a novel therapeutic target and marker for lymphoma.
