After 48 of transfection, compared with LNCap group and mimic NC group, the expression level of miR-30c-5p in the LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic group was increased (P<0.01). Compared with LNCap group and sh-NC group, the expression level of DDIT4 mRNA in the LNCap cells in sh-DDIT4 group was decreased (P<0.01).

The CCK-8 method results showed that compared with LNCap group and mimic NC group, the proliferation rate of the LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with LNCap group and sh-NC group, the proliferation rate of the LNCap cells in sh-DDIT4 group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with miR-30c-5p mimic group and miR-30c-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1 NC group, the proliferation rate of the LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic+pc-DNA3.1-DDIT4 group was increased (P<0.01). The Transwell assay results showed that compared with LNCap group and mimic NC group, the number of the invasion LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with LNCap group and sh-NC group, the number of invasion LNCap cells in sh-DDIT4 group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with miR-30c-5p mimic group and miR-30c-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1 NC group, the number of the invasion LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic+pc-DNA3.1-DDIT4 group was increased (P<0.01).The scratch assay results showed that compared with LNCap group and mimic NC group, the scratch healing rate of the LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with LNCap group and sh-NC group, the scratch healing rate of the LNCap cells in sh-DDIT4 group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with miR-30c-5p mimic group and miR-30c-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1 NC group, the scratch healing rate of the LNCap cells in miR-30c-5p mimic+pc-DNA3.1-DDIT4 group was increased (P<0.01).

The in vivo nude mouse tumor formation experiment results showed that on the 3 rd, 6 th, 9 th, 12 th, and 15th days after cell injection, compared with blank group and agomiR-NC group, the tumor volumes of the nude mice in agomiR-30c-5p group were decreased (P<0.05). The HE staining results showed that in prostate cancer tissue of the mice in blank group and agomiR-NC group, the cell nuclei were enlarged, and nucleoli were prominent and deformed. In the mice in agomiR-30c-5p group, some regions of prostate cancer tissues results showed neatly arranged cells with normally shaped nuclei. The RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with agomiR-NC group, the expression level of miR-30c-5p in prostate cancer tissue of the mice in agomiR-30c-5p group was increased (P<0.01). Compared with blank group and agomiR-NC group, the expression level of DDIT4 mRNA in prostate cancer tissue of the mice in agomiR-30c-5p group was decreased (P<0.01). DDIT4 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm. Compared with blank group and agomiR-NC group, the fluorescence intensity of DDIT4 protein in prostate cancer tissue of the mice in agomiR-30c-5p group was decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion The expression level of miR-30c-5p in the prostate cancer LNCap cells is decreased, and it inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the prostate cancer cells by targeting downregulation of DDIT4, thereby participating in the occurrence and development of prostate cancer.
