Glioblastoma as the most common and aggressive central nervous system tumor in adults. Its prognosis and therapeutic outcome are poor due to the limited understanding of its molecular mechanism. Apolipoprotein C-1 (APOC1) as a member of the apolipoprotein family that acts as a tumor promoter in various cancers. MicroRNA (miRNA) can silence gene expression and suppress tumor progression. However, the role of APOC1 and its upstream miRNA has not been explored in glioblastoma. Two glioblastoma cell lines (U87 and U251) were used to explore the role of APOC1 and its upstream miRNA-660-3p in glioblastoma tumorigenesis  in vitro . Cells with APOC1/miRNA-660-3p overexpression or knockdown were assessed for their proliferation, migration, and invasion  in vitro , and tumorigenesis  in vivo . Gene and protein expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation was assessed by the MTT assay and the EdU and Ki67 staining. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by the transwell assay. Tumorigenesis  in vivo  was assessed in U87 cells with a xenograft mouse model. APOC1 was overexpressed in glioblastoma compared with normal peritumoral tissue and was inversely related to patient prognosis. APOC1 overexpression promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion  in vitro . APOC1 inhibition reduced tumor growth in  vivo . miRNA-660-3p inhibits tumorigenesis by directly targeting APOC1. Mechanistically, APOC1 drives the malignancy of glioblastoma by activating the TGFβ2 signaling pathway. miRNA-660-3p suppresses tumorigenesis by targeting APOC1. Therefore, miRNA-660-3p/APOC1 axis can serve as potential intervention targets in managing glioblastoma progression.
