In this study, we performed bioinformatics analysis to identify the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) that regulate bladder cancer (BCa) progression. RNA-sequencing data analysis identified 2451 differentially expressed mRNAs, 174 differentially expressed lncRNAs, and 186 microRNAs (miRNAs) in BCa tissues (n=414) compared to the normal urothelial tissues (n=19) from the TGCA database. CeRNA network analysis of the differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs showed strong positive correlation between lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 and Tensin 1 (TNS1) mRNA in BCa tissues. Bioinformatics analysis also showed that both MAGI2-AS3 and TNS1 mRNA sequences contain miR-31-5p binding sites. Furthermore, we observed significantly lower MAGI2-AS3 and TNS1 mRNA expression and higher miR-31-5p expression in the BCa tissues and cell lines (T24 and J82) compared with their corresponding controls. Functional and biochemical experiments in BCa cell lines including luciferase reporter assays showed that MAGI2-AS3 upregulated TNS1 by sponging miR-31-5p. Transwell assays showed that the MAGI2-AS3/miR-31-5p/TNS1 axis regulated migration and invasion ability of BCa cell lines. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining of paired BCa and normal urothelial tissues showed that low expression of TNS1 correlated with advanced tumor (T) stages and lymph node metastasis in BCa. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the MAGI2-AS3/miR-31-5p/TNS1 axis regulates BCa progression.
