AIM To explore the effect of mir-382 on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in vitro and its possible molecular mechanism. METHODS Eca 109 cells derived from human ESCC and Het-1A cells derived from human normal esophageal epithelium were used. Lentivirus-mediated mir-382 was overexpressed in Eca109 cells. The effect of mir-382 on cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and colony formation assay. For cell cycle analysis, cells were fixed and stained for 30 min with propidium iodide (PI) staining buffer containing 10 mg/mL PI and 100 mg/mL RNase A, and analyzed by BD FACSCalibur (TM) flow cytometer. For cell apoptosis assay, cells were stained with an Annexin V-FITC/PI Apoptosis Detection Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions and analyzed by a dual-laser flow cytometer. Cell invasion and migration abilities were determined through use of transwell chambers, non-coated or pre-coated with matrigel. Levels of proteins related to cell growth and migration were examined by western blotting. RESULTS Endogenous mir-382 was down-regulated in Eca109 cells compared with Het-1A. Introduction of mir-382 not only significantly inhibited proliferation and colony formation, but also arrested cell cycle at the G2/M phase, as well as promoted apoptosis and autophagy in Eca109 cells. Migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of Eca109 cells were suppressed by overexpressing mir-382. Western blotting results showed that mir-382 inhibited the phosphorylation of mTOR and 4E-BP1. CONCLUSION mir-382 functions as a tumor suppressor against ESCC development and metastasis, and could be considered as a potential drug source for the treatment of ESCC patients.

AIM: To study the potential prognostic role of microRNA-382(mir-382) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).METHODS: Forty six patients were divided into 2groups according to postoperative survival time:the poor outcome group(28 patients), who showed early metastasis but no recurrence, and died within 1year after surgery, 12 patients of the group received postoperative chemotherapy treatment that was given after early metastasis happening; the good outcome group(18 patients), who had no clinical metastasis and recurrence, and survived 5 years or more after surgery, all patients did not receive any postoperative treatment. Total RNA was extracted from the patients' formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded esophageal cancer tissues. mir-382 level was evaluated using highthroughput real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. The correlation between mir-382 level and clinicopathologic features was analyzed through COX regression model, and Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the relationship betweenmir-382 level and patient survival ***: mir-382 was differentially expressed in the two groups. Overall the average mir-382 level in the ESCC patients with good outcome was 9.8 ± 3.8,while mir-382 level in the ESCC patients with poor outcome was 3.0 ± 0.8. The differences of mir-382 levels between two groups were significant(P mir-382 expression level generally had a significant reversecorrelation with ESCC patient survival time(P mir-382 had a longer survival time either among individuals with the same tumor stage or among the overall ***: mir-382 levels are reverse-correlated with ESCC poor outcomes, suggesting that mir-382 could be a potential predictive biomarker for both prognosis and treatment of ESCC.
