Sprouty2 (Spry2), a negative modulator of the Ras/ERK pathway, is frequently decreased in various cancers. However, the mechanism of Spry2 down-regulation in the malignancies is largely unknown. In current study, we demonstrated that Spry2 is directly regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs) and subsequently identified two oncogenic miRNA sequences miR-21 and miR-27a that directly target Spry2 expression. Furthermore, Spry2 exerts tumor suppressive effects and attenuates miR-21- and miR-27a-induced cell proliferation and migration in HCC cells. Moreover, Spry2 protein expression is inversely correlated with miR-21 and miR-27a expression, suggesting that loss of Spry2 may be due to elevated miR-21 and miR-27a expression in HCC. In conclusion, this study revealed a novel mechanism of Spry2 regulation at the post-transcriptional level in HCC. These findings will benefit the development of new Spry2-targeted therapeutics to treat HCC.
