Background This study explored the function and mechanism of miR-486-5p in HSFBs.Methods Qualitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of miR-486-5p in HS and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFBs). Viability, migration, invasion ability, apoptosis, and expressions of Collagen I, Collagen III, α-SMA and Cleaved caspase-3 in HSFBs after transfection with miR-486-5p mimic or inhibitor were measured by CCK-8, wound-healing, transwell, and Western blot, respectively. Interaction between miR-486-5p and IGF1 was predicted by Targetscan version 7.2 and further confirmed by dual-luciferase assay, and functional rescue experiments were conducted to verify the predicted molecular mechanism. The activation of PI3K/AKT pathway was also analyzed by Western blot.Results MiR-486-5p was low-expressed in HS and HSFBs, and that overexpression of miR-486-5p suppressed the viability, migration, invasion, and expressions of Collagen I, Collagen III, and α-SMA of HSFBs, meanwhile, it also promoted apoptosis and Cleaved caspase-3 expression in HSFBs. Moreover, IGF1 was targeted by miR-486-5p, and increased viability, migration, invasion, and collagens expressions, the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway, and decreased apoptosis and Cleaved caspase-3 induced by miR-486-5p inhibitor could be partly alleviated by siIGF1.Conclusions Overexpressed miR-486-5p inhibited the hyperproliferation and excessive production of collagen in HSFBs via IGF1/PI3K/AKT pathway.
