AIM To investigate the effect of microRNA-92a （miR-92a） and microRNA-19b （miR-19b） on the insulin expression in mouse pancreatic β-cells. METHODS The relative expression levels of endogenous miR-92a and miR-19b in mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells were detected by qPCR. The MIN6 cells were divided into control group， and experimental groups I and II， with 3 samples in each group， and transfected with negative control miRNA （NC）， miR-92a and miR-19b， respectively. The over-expression of the miRNAs was detected by qPCR. The morphological changes and viability of the cells were detected by optical microscopy and CCK8 assay， respectively. The expression of insulin was detected by qPCR， Western blot and immunofluorescence. The possible mechanisms of miR-92a and miR-19b regulating insulin expression were analyzed by bioinformatics prediction， dual-luciferase reporter assay， and Western blot. RESULTS Compared with the adult pancreatic progenitor cells， the expression of endogenous miR-92a and miR-19b in the MIN6 cells was decreased significantly （P <0.05）. Over-expression of miR-92a and miR-19b had no effect on the viability of MIN6 cells， but inhibited the expression of insulin at mRNA and protein levels. miR-19b significantly inhibited the luciferase activity of NeuroD1 3′UTR and the protein expression of NeuroD1 （P <0.05）. miR-92a had a fine-tuning effect on the luciferase activity of NeuroD1 3′UTR and the protein expression of NeuroD1. CONCLUSION miR-92a and miR-19b inhibit the insulin expression in mouse pancreatic β-cells. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the influence of simvastatin on insulin secretion function of mouse pancreatic beta cell line MIN6 and to explore its possible mechanisms.
METHODS: MIN6 cells were randomly divided into normal control group and low-, middle-and high-concentration simvastatin treatment groups, which were cultured for 48 h with high-glucose DMEM containing 15% fetal bovine serum plus 0, 2, 5 and 10 μmol/L simvastatin, respectively. The insulin secretion of MIN6 cells was measured by radioimmunoassay. The content of ATP in MIN6 cells was measured by biochemiluminescence method. The mRNA and protein expression levels of inwardly rectifying potassium channel 6.2 (Kir6.2), voltage-dependent calcium channel 1.2 (CaV1.2) and glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blotting, respectively.
RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, middle-and high-concentration simvastatin treatment markedly decreased the synthesis and secretion of insulin in MIN6 cells (P<005). The content of ATP in MIN6 cells was markedly decreased in simvastatin treatment groups (P<005). The mRNA expression level of Kir6.2 in MIN6 cells was significantly up-regulated in simvastatin treatment groups (P<001), while the mRNA expression levels of CaV1.2 and GLUT2 were significantly down-regulated in middle-and high-concentration simvastatin treatment groups (P<001). The protein expression of Kir6.2 was significantly increased but that of CaV1.2 was significantly decreased in middle-and high-concentration simvastatin treatment groups (P<001), and the protein expression level of GLUT2 was markedly decreased in high-concentration simvastatin treatment group (P<001).
CONCLUSION: Simvastatin inhibits insulin synthesis and secretion in mouse pancreatic beta cell line MIN6 via suppressing ATP production, up-regulating the expression of Kir6.2 and down-regulating the expression of CaV1.2 and GLUT2. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of integrin β1 on multidrug resistance in gastric cancer and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: The expression of integrin β1 at mRNA and protein levels in the SGC-7901 cells and SGC-7901/DDP cells was determined by qPCR and Western blot. The expression of integrin β1 in the SGC-7901/DDP cells was silenced by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide. The cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay, the cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of integrin β1, Bcl-2/Bax, cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3, cytochrome C (Cyt-C) and p-AKT/AKT were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of integrin β1 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly upregulated in SGC-7901/DDP cells. The expression of integrin β1 was increased in SGC-7901 cells treated with chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil. Knockdown of integrin β1 induced apoptosis of SGC-7901/DDP cells with an increased sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic agents. Meanwhile, knockdown of integrin β1 downregulated the protein levels of Bcl-2/Bax, p-AKTSer473 and p-AKTThr308, while promoted the release of Cyt-C and upregulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3. CONCLUSION: Knockdown of integrin β1 increases the sensitivity of SGC-7901/DDP cells to the chemotherapeutic agents, and promotes the cell apoptosis via mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. The mechanism may be related to the attenuation of AKT pathway by inhibiting phosphorylations of AKT at Ser473 and Thr308. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of β cell dysfunction induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in islet β cell line (NIT-1 cells). METHODS: The NIT-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5-FU. The content of insulin in the culture medium was determined by radioimmunoassay. Cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry with annexin V/PI staining. The ultra-microstructural changes of NIT-1 cells were observed under transmission electron microscope. The expression of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox protein 1(PDX-1) at mRNA and protein levels in NIT-1 cells was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: Exposed to the low glucose concentration (5.6 mmol/L), insulin secretion in NIT-1 cells was not significantly decreased following a 24 h treatment with 5.0 to 40.0 mg/L 5-FU (P>0.05). On the contrary, the high glucose (16.7 mmol/L)-stimulated insulin secretion in NIT-1 cells was inhibited by 5.0 to 40.0 mg/L of 5-FU in a dose-dependent manner after 24 h of incubation (P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of NIT-1 cells was significantly increased as compared to those in the control levels(P<0.05). The structural changes of mitochondria were the main apoptotic changes under transmission electron microscope. Significant down-regulation of PDX-1 expression at mRNA and protein levels was observed in NIT-1 cells treated with 5-FU at the concentration of 10.0 mg/L to 40.0 mg/L(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: 5-FU inhibits the insulin secretion in islet β cell induced by high glucose. A relative deficiency in insulin secretion following 5-FU treatment is related to the changes of β cell ultra-microstructure and the reduction of β cell numbers, by which an increase in apoptosis of pancreatic β cells is induced. Down-regulation of PDX-1 expression may play a pivotal role in increasing the apoptosis of pancreatic β cells induced by 5-FU in high-glucose condition. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of miR-496 over-expression on the growth and metastasis of colon cancer cells and its molecular mechanism.METHODS: The proteins interacting with miR-496 were screened by bioinformatic method. The levels of miR-496, CTNNB1 mRNA and β-catenin protein in colon cancer cell lines, HT29, HCT116 and SW480, and normal colonic epithelial cell line NCM460 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. HT29, HCT116 and SW480 cells were transfected with miR-496 mimics using Lipofectamine 2000 and named as HT29-miR-496 mimics, HCT116-miR-496 mimics and SW480-miR-496 mimics cells, respectively, and the cells transfected with the scramble served as negative control. The cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, and colony formation and metastatic abilities were determined by MTT assay, LDH assay, colony formation assay and Transwell method, respectively. The promoter activity of miR-496 was measured using luciferase reporter gene assay. The protein levels of β-catenin, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), p-4E-BP1, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6(LRP6), p-LRP6, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-13 and TIMP-2 were monitored by Western blot.RESULTS: Endogenous miR-406 interacted with β-catenin was found in the colon cancer cells. Low miR-496 expression in the HT29, HCT116 and SW480 cells and high miR-496 expression in NCM460 cells were detected. In contrast, high β-catenin expression was found in the HT29, HCT116 and SW480 cells and low β-catenin expression was observed in the NCM460 cells. Compared with control group, the cell viability, colony formation rate and the number of metastatic cells remarkably decreased in the HT29-miR-496 mimics, HCT116-miR-496 mimics and SW480-miR-496 mimic cells (P<0.05). The promoter activity of miR-496 was significantly increased in colon cancer cells transfected with miR-496 mimics, and was 1.75, 2.04 and 1.61 times as high as control group. miR-496 over-expression inhibited β-catenin levels, and p-4E-BP1 and p-LRP6 protein levels were also reduced. siRNA- or over-expressed miR-496-mediated β-catenin down-regulation inhibited MMP-7 and MMP-9 expression, but promoted TIMP-2 expression.CONCLUSION: The expression level of miR-496 in the colon cancer cells is low, but in the normal colonic epithelial cells is high. miR-496 over-expression inhibits the protein levels of MMP-7 and MMP-9, and promotes the protein expression of TIMP-2 via inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin pathway, thus suppressing malignant phenotype in the colon cancer cells. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the effect of microRNA-22 (miR-22) secreted by macrophage exosomes on the autophagy of H9c2 cardiomyocytes under uremic toxin stimulation. METHODS The macrophage-derived exosomes stimulated by indoxyl sulfate (IS) were collected and co-cultured with H9c2 cells. The levels of miR-22 in the macrophages, macrophage-derived exosomes and H9c2 cells were detected by RT-qPCR. The viability of H9c2 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The expression of exosome surface marker protein CD63 and autophagy-related proteins LC3 and P62 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS Under IS stimulation, the expression of exosome surface marker protein CD63 in the macrophages was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05), and the levels of miR-22 in the macrophages and macrophage-derived exosomes were significantly increased (P <0.01). With the increase in macrophage exosome concentration, the viability of H9c2 cells was decreased gradually (P <0.05), and the stimulation of macrophage exosomes reduced P62 expression and promoted the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05). Macrophage-derived exosomes increased the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I but decreased P62 protein expression in the H9c2 cells transfected with miR-22 mimic compared with the cells transfected with corresponding negative control miRNAs (P <0.05). However, miR-22 inhibitor yielded contrasting results. CONCLUSION IS-stimulated macrophages increase expression of miR-22 in cardiomyocytes through exosomes, and promote autophagy of the cardiomyocytes. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the function of microRNA-125a-5p (miR-125a-5p) on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells via GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway.METHODS: The expression of miR-125a-5p in normal breast epithelial cells and breast cancer cells, as well as the transfection efficiency of miR-125a-5p plasmid in MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The chemotaxis ability and invasion ability were detected by chemotaxis assay and Transwell invasion assay. The changes of EMT-related markers, the protein level of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK-3β) and the nuclear translocation of Snail were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The expression of miR-125a-5p in the breast cancer cells was significantly lower than that in the normal breast epithelial cells. The expression of miR-125a-5p was significantly higher in MDA-MB-231/miR-125a-5p cells than that in MDA-MB-231/NC cells. The ability of epithelial growth factor (EGF) at 10 μg/L to induce chemotaxis of MDA-MB-231 cells was the strongest. Compared with MDA-MB-231/NC group, stimulation of EGF decreased the invasion ability of MDA-MB-231/miR-125a-5p cells, and resulted in the increase in E-cadherin expression, while significantly decreased the protein levels of vimentin and p-GSK-3β. Meanwhile, the nuclear localization of Snail was significantly inhibited. The invasion capacity of MDA-MB-231/miR-125a-5p+GAB2 cells was significantly enhanced compared with MDA-MB-231/miR-125a-5p+Con cells, the expression of E-cadherin was decreased, and the protein levels of vimentin and p-GSK-3β were significantly increased, while the nuclear localization of Snail was promoted. CONCLUSION: miR-125a-5p suppresses EMT via GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway, thus inhibiting the invasion ability of breast cancer cells. 相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the secretion of inflammatory factors in the pancreatic acinar AR42J cells induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). METHODS:The rat pancreatic acinar AR42J cells were treated with LPS. The expression of TLR4 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. The lentivirus carrying TLR4 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to infect the AR42J cells. Under LPS stimulation, the interference efficacy was measured by real-time PCR and Western blot. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and the leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was examined by dinitrophenylhydrazine method. The releases of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the cell culture medium were detected by ELISA, and the malondialdehyed (MDA) content in supernatant was measured by thiobarbituric acid method. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the supernatant was determined by xanthine oxidation, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) was detected by colorimetry. RESULTS:The expression of TLR4 at mRNA and protein levels in LPS-treated AR42J cells was significantly increased (P<0.05). Infection with TLR4 siRNA-carrying lentivirus significantly inhibited the expression of TLR4 at mRNA and protein levels in the AR42J cells under LPS stimulation(P<0.05). The viability of AR42J cells was decreased after LPS treatment. The leakage rate of LDH was increased, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α secreted by the AR42J cells were increased, the content of MDA was increased in the supernatant, and the activity of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT was reduced (P<0.05). After knock-down of TLR4 expression, the viability of AR42J cells was increased under LPS stimulation, the LDH leakage rate, secreted levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, and the content of MDA in cell culture medium were decreased, and the SOD, GSH-Px and CAT levels were increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:LPS induces the expression of TLR4 in the pancreatic acinar AR42J cells. Knock-down of TLR4 expression reduces the secretion of inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α, and attenuates the oxidative damage in pancreatic acinar AR42J cells induced by LPS. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) on the apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the expression of microRNA-26a (miR-26a) in vitro, and to explore the mechanisms of NSC apoptosis induced by CoCl2. METHODS: NSCs were exposed to CoCl2 at different doses (200~600 μmol/L) for 24 h. The cell viability and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and TUNEL method. The expression of miR-26a-3p, miR-26a-5p, GSK-3β, caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax was examined by real-time PCR. The protein levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The cell viability was inhibited and the apoptosis of NSCs was increased significantly by CoCl2 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L for 24 h was used to induce apoptosis and the expression of miR-26a was down-regulated compared with control (P<0.05). Exposure to CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L up-regulated the expression of GSK-3β, caspase-3 and Bax, down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L induces the apoptosis of NSCs obviously. CoCl2 may induce the NSC apoptosis by mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Declining miR-26a may be related to NSC apoptosis. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the relationship between the expression of estrogen receptor α36 (ER-α36) and the invasion of gastric cancer cells. METHODS: SGC7901 cells were treated with 17β-estradiol at high or low concentration. The invasion of gastric cancer cells and the expression of ER-α36 were detected. The SGC7901 cells with the characteristics of stable low expression and high expression of ER-α36 were constructed. The invasion ability and microRNA sequences were determined in above-mentioned recombinant cells. RESULTS: The decreased invasion ability and ER-α36 expression were detected in SGC7901 cells treated with low concentration of 17β-estradiol. The situation was the opposite in the cells treated with high concentration of 17β-estradiol. The expression of miR-143 was significantly decreased in the SGC7901 cells with stable high expression of ER-α36 and was increased in the SGC7901 cells with stable low expression of ER-α36. CONCLUSION: The expression of ER-α36 is positively related to the invasion of gastric cancer cells. It is possible that miR-143 plays an important role in the regulation of gastric cancer invasion. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of microRNA-138-5p (miR-138-5p) inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of lung cancer cells.METHODS: The lung cancer A549 and H460 cells were transfected with miR-NC (control group) or miR-138-5p (experimental group). The bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict the target genes of miR-138-5p.The expression levels of miR-138-5p, forkhead box protein C1 (FOXC1) mRNA and vimentin mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein expression of FOXC1, vimentin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and β-catenin was determined by Western blot. MTS method and colony formation assay were used to detect cell viability and proliferation ability. Wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to detect cell migration and invasion ability.RESULTS: Over-expression of miR-138-5p significantly reduced the expression of FOXC1 and vimentin at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). The expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin were up-regulated and the expression of N-cadherin was down-regulated. The proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of the lung cancer cells were inhibited by the over-expression of miR-138-5p.CONCLUSION: miR-138-5p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of lung cancer cells by targeting FOXC1 and vimentin. It may be a potential target for lung cancer gene therapy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-24-3p (miR-24-3p) on the viability and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells. METHODS: The expression of miR-24-3p and KLF6 mRNA in the esophageal cancer cells TE11, Eca109 and EC9706 were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein expression of KLF6 was determined by Western blot. EC9706 cells were transfected with anti-miR-24-3p and KLF6 siRNA. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the proliferation, apoptosis and IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathways related proteins were determined by Western blot. The level of IL-6 was measured by ELISA. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-24-3p and KLF6. RESULTS: The levels of miR-24-3p were up-regulated in the esophageal cancer cells TE11, Eca109 and EC9706 (P < 0.05), and the expression of KLF6 at mRNA and protein levels was down-regulated (P < 0.05). Knock-down of miR-24-3p expression inhibited the cell viability, induced apoptosis, and inhibited the protein levels of CDK4, cyclin D1, CDC25A, p-STAT3, Bcl-2 and IL-6, and promoted the protein expression of caspase-3 and Bax in EC9706 cells. CONCLUSION: miR-24-3p targets KLF6 gene to affect the viability and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells by regulating IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of microRNA-16 (miR-16) on the proliferation, invasion and cytokine secretion of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) from the RA patients. METHODS:miR-16 mimic and miR-16 inhibitor were synthesized, and then Transfected into RASFs isolated from RA patients with lipofectamine. MTT assay, Transwell chamber and flow cytometry were used to determine the effect of miR-16 on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of RASFs. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3/13 (MMP3/13) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS:The proliferation and invasion of RASFs were significantly inhibited by miR-16 mimic. The result of flow cytometry demonstrated that miR-16 had no effect on apoptosis of RASFs. Furthermore, miR-16 down-regulated the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β. CONCLUSION: miR-16 plays an important role in the development of RA and may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of RASFs through down-regulating the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of intermittent hypoxia on the apoptosis of mouse pancreatic β cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: Thirty healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, sustained hypoxia (SH)group and intermittent hypoxia (IH)group. Insulin tolerance test was performed immediately after experiment. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected by chemical colorimetry. Real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of manganese superoxide dismutase(MnSOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GPx1). The apoptosis of pancreatic β cells was determined by the method of TUNEL. RESULTS: The levels of insulin resistance and content of MDA in the pancreatic tissue in IH group were significantly higher than those in control group and SH group (P<0.01). The activity of SOD and the mRNA expression of MnSOD and GPx1 in IH group were significantly lower than those in control group and SH group (P<0.01). The apoptotic rate of IH group was significantly elevated as compared with control group and SH group (P<0.01). No significant difference of all above indexes between control group and SH groups was observed (all P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis of pancreatic β cells induced by oxidative stress associated with IH in the pancreatic tissue may be involved in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea hyponea syndrome with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the mechanism and the effect of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibitor (2’Z,3'E)-6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime (BIO) on the protein expression of β-catenin and Bcl-2, and proliferation and apoptosis in colon carcinoma SW480 cells.METHODS: The immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting were performed to detect the protein expression of β-catenin, cyclin D1 and Bcl-2. The cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rate were detected by flow cytometry. The morphologic features of SW480 cells before and 24 h after BIO exposure at different concentrations were observed under microscope with HE staining.RESULTS: Compared with the untreated SW480 cells, the protein expression of β-catenin significantly increased and some β-catenin positive nuclear staining positive cells appeared in BIO treated cells. and The cells exposed to BIO showed that the cyclin D1 protein and the cells in S stage and G2/M stage moderately increased, the protein level of Bcl-2 moderately decreased, and the cell apoptosis rate was significantly lower than those in control cells. Furthermore, the morphological changes of the SW480 cells were observed 24 h after BIO treatment. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that GSK-3β inhibitor BIO participates in the cellular processes of promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis in colon carcinoma cells. The mechanisms are mainly associated with activating the β-catenin pathway and regulating the balance of Bcl-2 pathway, and the up-regulation of β-catenin is most likely the possible factor for SW480 cell regression. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the expression of miR-196a in different pancreatic cancer cell lines and to observe the effect of anti-miR-196a on the biological behaviors of human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells. METHODS:The expression of miR-196a in the pancreatic cancer cells was examined by real-time quantitative PCR. Anti-miR-196a was chemically synthesized and transfected into PANC-1 cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Matrigel invasion assay was performed to examine the migration and invasion of the tumor cells. The wild-type and mutant-type NF-κB inhibitor α(NFKBIA) 3'UTR luciferase reporter vectors were constructed. The relative activity of Renilla luciferase was detected to confirm the binding site of miR-196a on NFKBIA mRNA. RESULTS:The expression of miR-196a in human pancreatic cancer cell lines was significantly higher than that in human pancreatic ductal epithelial H6c7 cells. The expression of anti-miR-196a in miR-196a group was down-regulated. After transfected with miR-196a, no change of cell proliferation and apoptosis was observed, but the abilities of invasion and migration were reduced(P<0.01). Compared with negative control, wild-type NFKBIA3'UTR or mutant-type NFKBIA 3'UTR, cotransfection of anti-miR-196a and wild-type NFKBIA 3'UTR significantly increased the relative activity of Renilla luciferase. CONCLUSION:miR-196a is one of the oncomiRs and may be a target microRNA of human pancreatic cancer for gene therapy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of microRNA-181a (miR-181a) on cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced the productions of pro-inflammatory factors and the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). METHODS: CSE-induced miR-181a expression was detected by RT-qPCR in the HBECs. After tansfected with miR-181a mimic, the releases of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured by ELISA, the protein expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA was determined by Western blot. The activation of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway was also evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS: CSE increased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β1 and the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA, and decreased the expression of miR-181a in the HBECs (P<0.05). However, transfected with miR-181a mimic partially prevented the releases of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β1, and inhibited the expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA (P<0.05). Additionally, the activation of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 evoked by CSE was attenuated after transfected with miR-181a mimic. CONCLUSION: Up-regulation of miR-181a prevents the releases of CSE-induced pro-inflammatory factors and expression of collagen IV, fibronectin and α-SMA in the HBECs, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB/TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway. 相似文献
