Cervical cancer (CC) is considered to be the most prevalent female malignancies across the globe and a prime cause of mortality among women. RNA-binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) has been elucidated to participate in tumorigenesis in various cancers by regulating RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation. However, its significance and detailed molecular mechanisms remain uncertain in CC. Using CGA database and qRT-PCR, the RBM15 expression was found to be elevated in CC tissues. After performing EdU, wound healing, Transwell migration, and xenograft tumor assays, RBM15 knockdown inhibited the malignant properties of CC cells along with the tumor development of CC cells in vivo. Moreover, qRT-PCR, MeRIP, and western blotting experiments were also confirmed that decorin (DCN) downregulated in CC was a direct substrate of RBM15 m6A methylation, and RBM15 knockdown could enhance DCN expression in CC cells. The anti-tumor effects of RBM15 knockdown could be abolished by DCN silencing. Overall, RBM15 knockdown lowered the tumorigenesis of CC both in vitro and in vivo, and it does so via mediating m6A modification of DCN mRNA in CC cells.
