Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)macrophage migration inhibitory factor antisense RNA1(MIF-AS1)on the malignant biological behavior of prostate cancer(PC)cells by regulating the miR-423-5p/pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid reductase 1(PYCR1)axis.Methods PC3 cells were cultured in vitro to knock down the expression of MIF-AS1 or down-regulate the expression of miR-423-5p.The expression of MIF-AS1,miR-423-5p and PYCR1 mRNA in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues and cells of PC patients were detected.The cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration,and invasion were detected and the expression of PYCR1 protein was detected by Western blot.The relationships between miR-423-5p,IF-AS1 and PYCR1 were verified.Results The MIF-AS1 and PYCR1 mRNA were observed to be highly expressed in the tumor tissues,while miR-423-5p was lowly expressed.Silenced MIF-AS1 inhibited the proliferation,migration and invasion of PC3 cells and up-regulated miR-423-5p induced cell apoptosis(P＜0.05).Inhibition of miR-423-5p expression reversed the inhibitory effect of silencing MIF-AS1 on malignant behavior of PC3 cells(P＜0.05).miR-423-5p was correlated with MIF-AS1 and PYCR1 by targeted regulation.Conclusion Silencing MIF-AS1 may inhibit the expression of PYCR1 by up-regulating miR-423-5p,thereby inhibiting the malignant behavior of PC cells.
