Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SEMA3B antisense RNA 1 (head to head) (SEMA3B-AS1) is a recently identified tumor suppressor in gastric cancer. However, its role in glioblastoma (GBM) is unclear. This study was conducted to explore the role of SEMA3B-AS1 in GBM. In this study, the expression of SEMA3B-AS1, cyclin D1 and miR-195 were determined by RT-qPCR. Gene interactions were evaluated by dual-luciferase assay and overexpression experiments. BrdU assay was performed to monitor cell proliferation. We observed downregulation of SEMA3B-AS1 in GBM. The expression of SEMA3B-AS1 was inversely correlated with the expression of cyclin D1 but positively correlated with the expression of miR-195. In GBM cells, overexpression of SEMA3B-AS1 and miR-195 caused reduced expression levels of cyclin D1. MiR-195 inhibitor reduced the effects of overexpression of SEMA3B-AS1 on the expression of cyclin D1. Moreover, overexpression of SEMA3B-AS1 increased the expression levels of miR-195. Cell proliferation data showed that, SEMA3B-AS1 and miR-195 decreased cell proliferation, while overexpression of cyclin D1 increased GBM cell proliferation. In addition, miR-195 inhibitor inhibited the role of overexpression of SEMA3B-AS1 in cancer cell proliferation. Moreover, miR-195 interacted with cyclin D1, but not SEMA3B-AS1. Furthermore, SEMA3B-AS1 decreased the methylation of the promoter region of miR-195. Therefore, we concluded that miR-195 links lncRNA SEMA3B-AS1 and cyclin D1 to regulate the proliferation of GBM cells.
