Objective To explore the regulating effect of miR-202 on B cell-activating factor, and check whether the regulation influences the growth of multiple myeloma cells. Methods The potential binding sites of BAFF for miR-202 were predicted using bioinformatics software. Luciferase reporter gene analysis was used to evaluate the regulatory effect of miR-202 on BAFF. Human multiple myeloma U266 cells were transfected with has-miR-202-mimics, has-miR-202-inhibitor, siBAFF and their negative controls, respectively. After above treatments, BAFF mRNA and protein levels were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis, and the proliferation and apoptosis in the multiple myeloma (MM) cells were examined by WST-1 and annexin V-FLUOS assay, respectively. Results The BAFF mRNA expression levels in the untransfected group, has-miR-202-3P-mimics transfected group, has-miR-202-3P- inhibitor transfeeted group and siBAFF transfected group were 1. 040:1: 0. 057, 0. 573 ±0. 073, 1. 205 ±0. 097 and 0. 368 + 0. 052, respectively. BAFF mRNA expressions in U266 cells transfected with has-miR- 202-3P-mimics and siBAFF were significantly decreased compared with that in the untransfeeted group ( P 〈 0.05). The BAFF protein expression level of each group was consistent with the mRNA assay result. The absorbanee value in 450 nm of the untransfeeted group, has-miR-202-3P-mimics transfected group, hasmiR-202-3P-inhibitor transfected group and siBAFF transfected group were 1. 063 ± 0.052, 0.714 ± 0.045, 0.936± 0. 066 and 0.764 ±0.053, respectively. In comparison with the untransfected group, the absorbance value at 450 nm of has-miR-202-3P-mimics and siBAFF transfected groups was significantly reduced (P 〈 0.05 ). The cell apoptosis rates of untransfected group, has-miR-202-3P-mimies transfected group, has-miR-202-3P-inhibitor transfected group and siBAFF transfected group were 26.2% , 49.6%, 21.1% and 30.7%, respectively. Therefore, the cell apoptosis rate of has-miR-202-3P-mimics transfected group was signifi
