Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs,which control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level,are aberrantly expressed in cancers and play significant roles in carcinogenesis and cancer progression.In this study,we show differential miR-133b down-expression in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells and tissues.In addition,squalene epoxidase (SQLE),a key enzyme of cholesterol synthesis,is identified as the direct downstream target gene of miR-133b by luciferase gene reporter assay.Furthermore,ectogenic miR-133b expression and SQLE knockdown can inhibit proliferation,invasion,and metastasis,and diminish epithelialto-mesenchymal transition (EMT) traits of ESCC in vitro,implying that miR-133b-dependent SQLE can induce tumorigenicity and that SQLE is an EMT inducer.Xenograft experiment results also proved the biological function of SQLE in vivo.Therefore,we conclude that miR-133b-dependent SQLE plays a critical role in the potential metastasis mechanisms in ESCC.
