Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA-29b on proliferation,migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells．Methods The endometrial cancer HEC-1-B cells were divided into micro29b mimetic group（MM group）,micro29b repressor group（MR group）and negative control group（MNC group）,and the micro29b mimetic,micro29b repressor and micro29b negative control were transfected into each group,six compound holes with each group．The real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction（RT-PCR）was used to detect the expression of mi29b,WST-1 was used to detect the effect of mi29b on the proliferation of HEC-1-B endometrial cancer cells,Transwell chamber was used to detect the migration and invasion of HEC-1-B endometrial cancer cells,and Western blot was used to detect the expression level of PTEN-AKT pathway protein．Results The relative expression levels of microRNA-29b in MNC group,MM group and MR group were（2 032.1±873.4）,（19 272.8±2 087.9）and（472.7±105.6）,respectively,and there were significant differences between groups（P<0.05）．OD values of MM group at 0 d,3 d,5 d and 7 d were（0.32±0.06）,（0.53±0.08）,（1.13±0.12）and（1.92±0.14）respectively．The OD values of MNC group at 0,3,5 and 7 days were（0.34±0.09）,（0.71±0.08）,（1.67±0.21）and（3.49±0.24）respectively．The OD values of MR group at 0 d,3 d,5 d and 7 d were（0.38±0.09）,（0.84±0.18）,（2.43±0.24）and（5.67±0.15）respectively．There was no significant difference in OD value between the three groups on day 0 （P=0.216）．There were significant differences in OD value between the three groups on day 3,day 5 and day 7（P<0.001）．The number of migrating cells in MNC group,MM group and MR group were（403.9±23.8）cells,（102.6±15.7）cells and（685.7±46.8）cells,respectively．The number of invasive cells in the above three groups were（82.1±12.7）cells,（38.2±10.6）cells and（124.6±21.6）cells．There were significant differences in the above indexes between MM group and MNC group（P<0.05）,also between MR group and MM group（P<0.05）．The relative expression levels of PTEN protein in MNC group,MM group and MR group were（0.25±0.08）,（0.69±0.11）and（0.11±0.05）．The relative expression levels of p-AKT protein in the above three groups were（0.58±0.10）,（0.13±0.06）and（0.79±0.08）．The relative expression levels of AKT protein in the above three groups were（0.38±0.09）,（0.37±0.11）and（0.37±0.08）,respectively．Compared with MNC group,the levels of PTEN and p-AKT in MM group had statistical significance（P<0.05）,but there was no statistical difference in AKT level（P>0.05）．Compared with MNC group and MM group,the levels of PTEN and p-AKT in MR group had statistical significance（P<0.05）,and there was no statistical difference in AKT level（P>0.05）．Conclusions Overexpression of microRNA-29b can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells,and targeting PTEN-AKT may be an important pathway．
