Schema of the predicted mechanisms implicated in SW480 and HT29 cells response to cisplatin and miR-519d. MiR-519d inhibits TRIM32 expression and thus suppresses the expression of Bcl-2 and promotes the cisplatin-caused generation of ROS. Because of the high level of ROS and inhibition of Bcl-2, apoptosis signals produced by cisplatin were expanded to trigger the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway. As a result, MMP (Δφ) was decreased and the effector caspases (caspase-9 and caspase-3) are triggered to cause the apoptotic cell death of SW480 and HT29 cells.

Abbreviations: TRIM32, tripartite motif 32; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; MMP, mitochondrial membrane potential, ROS, reactive oxygen species.
