Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the urinary system. In this study, the roles of lncRNA HCP5 (human major histocompatibility complex p5) and miR-29b-3p in human BC were investigated. Their regulations involved in cell invasion and migration were also evaluated. Methods: Luciferase reporter assay was performed to detect the binding between miR-29b-3p and HCP5 or high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Cell viability, migration, invasion and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, transwell assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Expression levels of HMGB1/toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) proteins were measured by Western blot. Xenograft model was built, and tumor volumes and weights were calculated. Results: The results revealed dysregulation of HCP5 and miR-29b-3p in BC samples and cells. HCP5 negatively regulated the expression of miR-29b-3p and enhanced cell viability, migration and invasion. MiR-29b-3p mediated the effect of HCP5 on cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion in RT4 cells. In addition, miR-29b-3p could regulate the expression of HMGB1 through interaction with HMGB1. Conclusion: The findings in this study supported that lncRNA HCP5 could promote cell invasion and migration by sponging miR-29b-3p in human BC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
