HMGB3 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of glioblastoma and is negatively regulated by miR-200b-3p and miR-200c-3p

High mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) is strongly involved in oncogenesis in a variety of cancers. In the present study, we have explored the role of HMGB3 in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumorigenesis and have identified the microRNAs (miRNAs) miR-200b-3p and miR-200c-3p as negative regulators of HMGB3 expression. We began by determining that endogenous HMGB3 expression levels were significantly elevated in GBM tissues and in 3 GBM cell lines. To...
