However, the role of miR-153-3p in acute lymphoblastic leukemia remains unknown. The expression of miR-153-3p in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Effects of miR-153-3p expression on acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were examined by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell invasion assay, respectively. We then validated inhibitor of growth protein 2 as a direct target of miR-153-3p through bioinformatics analysis, luciferase activity reporter assay, and Western blot assay. The miR-153-3p expression was decreased in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of acute lymphoblastic leukemia were obviously decreased by miR-153-3p overexpression. Moreover, inhibitor of growth protein 2 was validated as a direct target of miR-153-3p and the overexpression of inhibitor of growth protein 2 reversed the suppressive effects of miR-153-3p on acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell behaviors. Based on these results, we provided evidence that miR-153-3p might be a target for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia %K miR-153-3p %K ING2 %K acute lymphoblastic leukemia %K tumor suppressor %K cell behaviors %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6542125/
