The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miR-1244 in cisplatin-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results of quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the expression levels of miR-1244 in cisplatin?treated A549 and NCI-H522 human lung cancer cell lines were lower than those in untreated A549 and NCI-H522 cells. Similarly, the expression level of miR-1244 in NSCLC tissue samples from cisplatin-treated patients was also lower than that in non-cisplatin-treated NSCLC patients. Notably, the overall survival times of cisplatin-treated NSCLC patients with high miR-1244 expression were superior to those patients with low miR-1244 expression. We found that overexpression of miR-1244 suppressed cell viability and increased LDH toxicity in cisplatin-treated A549 and NCI-H522 cells. Additionally, overexpression of miR-1244 induced the apoptosis of cisplatin-treated A549 and NCI-H522 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-1244 promoted caspase-3 activity and p53 and Bax protein expression, and suppressed myocyte enhancer factor 2D?(MEF2D) and cyclin D1 protein expression in cisplatin?treated A549 and NCI-H522 cells. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting MEF2D suppressed the protein expression of MEF2D, and was able to decrease the proliferation, promote caspase-3 activity, p53 and Bax protein expression and inhibit cyclin D1 protein expression in cisplatin-treated A549 and NCI-H522 cells following the overexpression of miR-1244. In summary, we found that miR-1244 affected cisplatin-treated NSCLC via MEF2D expression.
