Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small-regulatory RNA molecules, were closely involved in the pathogenesis of a broad-spectrum of colorectal cancer (CRC). But role of miR-147b in CRC still remains unclear. Methods: Real-time RT-PCR or Western blotting was utilized to detect the expressions of miR-147b and RAP2B in CRC cell lines and tissues. Luciferase reporter assays were conducted to detect the associations between miR-147b and 3′UTRs of RAP2B. A series of assays were performed to evaluate the effect of miR-147b on proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC in vitro and in vivo. Results: We found that the level of miR-147b was significantly lower in CRC tissues than in normal tissues (p = 0.0006). Enforced expression of miR-147b led to suppression of CRC cell proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Specifically, miR-147b promoted proliferation by arresting CRC cells in the G1/G0 phase. Mechanically, RAP2B was identified as a direct target gene of miR-147b and RAP2B rescued the suppression of proliferation and invasion reduced by miR-147b in CRC cells. Conclusions: miR-147b not only plays important roles in the regulation of cell proliferation and tumor growth in CRC, which might be a potential prognostic marker or therapeutic target for CRC.
