    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Aberrant microRNA (miRNAs) have recently been proposed as important regulators in acquiring resistance to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The purpose of this study was to establish the role of miR-148b in the development of CHOP resistance in DLBCL. METHODS: The expression patterns of miR-148b, HDAC6, and Ezrin were detected in CHOP-resistant clinical specimens and a DLBCL cell line. miR-148b, HDAC6, and Ezrin in DLBCL cells were manipulated by cell transfection to explore the functional correlation between them. Cell viability was determined using a CCK-8 assay. RESULTS: We found that miR-148b levels were markedly reduced and that the protein expressions of HDAC6 and Ezrin were increased in DLBCL CHOP-resistant clinical specimens and the cell line CRL2631/CHOP. Indeed, HDAC6 decreased the acetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the miR-148b promoter to inhibit miR-148b expression in DLBCL. Moreover, down-regulated miR-148b encouraged CHOP resistance in CRL2631 cells and miR-148b sensitized CRL2631 cells. We further revealed that Ezrin was negatively regulated by miR-148b and that the knockdown of Ezrin significantly attenuated CHOP resistance in CRL2631 cells induced by miR-148b silencing. MiR-148b also sensitized CRL2631/CHOP cell xenografts to CHOP in mice. CONCLUSION: Our data indicated that the high level of HDAC6 inhibited miR-148b via maintaining the low acetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the miR-148b promoter, thus rescuing Ezrin expression and promoting CHOP resistance in DLBCL.
