Objectives To observe the effect of miR-15b on proliferation and apoptosis of human glioma cell line A172 and to investigate its role in RAS/MEK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway cells. Methods The synthetic miR-15b mimics transfected the A172 cell line. Methylthiazol tetrazoliu (MTT) assay and flow cytometry were used to assess the effects of miR-15b on A172 cell proliferation and apoptosis. Western blotting assay was used to detect the effect of miR-15b on RAS and its downstream signaling pathways. Results After transfecting miR-15b mimics, real-time quantitative PCR was use to detect the ACt values in the blank control group, the negative control group, the miR-15b mimics group, and they were 15.25 ± 1.12, 15.92 ±0. 98, and 10. 58 ± 0. 87, respectively, suggesting the expression level of miR-15b in the A172 cells increased significantly. Western blot results showed that miR-15b mimics significantly inhibited the expression levels of RAS, MEK, ERK1/2, and pERK1/2 protein (all P 〈 0. 05). The test results of MTT assay showed that relative survival rates of cells were 72.28 ± 6. 52%, 61.86 ±5.79%, and 59. 38± 5.97%, respectively at 24, 4g, and 72 h after the A172 cells being transfected by miR-15b mimics. The cell survival rate of the miR-15b mimics group was decreased significantly compare with the blank control group and the negative group ( P 〈 0. 05 ). The cell cycle analysis revealed that the cell G1/G0 phase of miR- 15b mimics group was 66. 84%. The miR-15b mimics induced A172 cell block was at G1/G0 phase. The detection of annexin/propidium iodide ( Annexin V/PI) double staining showed that the cell apoptosis rates of the blank control group, the negative control group, and the miR-15b mimics group were 2. 7 ±0. 83% , 2. 5 ±0. 81% , and 18.2 ±1.58% , respectively. The A172 cell apoptosis rate of the miR-15b mimics group increased significantly compare with the blank control group and the negative control group ( P 〈 0. 05 ). Conclusions miR-15b can inhibit the proliferation of gli
