    Abstract:
    Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 12 (PTPN12) is abnormally expressed in many human cancers. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is indeterminate. In this study, immunohistochemistry and Western blot were adopted to detect PTPN12 protein expression in HCC tissues and cell lines. MiR-106a-5p and PTPN12 mRNA expressions were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). siRNA was used to knockdown PTPN12 expression in HCC cells, and the multiplication, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were determined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays. The interaction between PTPN12 and miR-106a-5p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. In the present study, we demonstrated that PTPN12 expression in HCC tissues and cells was significantly decreased, which was associated with the tumor size, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis of HCC patients. Functionally, knocking down PTPN12 significantly promoted the multiplication, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC cells. PTPN12 was identified as the direct target of miR-106a-5p, and its expression was negatively modulated by miR-106a-5p. Besides, PTPN12 counteracted the promoting effects of miR-106a-5p on the viability, migration, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells. In conclusion, this study substantiates that PTPN12 inhibits the growth, migration, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells, and miR-106a-5p contributes to its dysregulation in HCC.
