AIM:To investigate the effects of microRNA (miRNA)-483-3p on the growth and migration of human glioma cell line A172 and its potential mechanisms.METHODS:The abundance of miRNA-483-3p in human embryonic kidney 293 cells and different human glioma cell lines (A172,U251 and SHG44) was measured by RT-qPCR.After down-regulation of miRNA-483-3p by transfection of inhibitor in the A172 cells,the cell viability,cell cycle distribution and cell migration were detected by CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry and Transwell assay,respectively.Furthermore,the protein levels of cell cycle-related molecules and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers were measured by Western blot.Luciferase reporter assay was used to predict and verify the target gene of miRNA-483-3p.RESULTS:miRNA-483-3p was highly expressed in human glioma cells.Knockdown of miRNA-483-3p inhibited A172 cell viability,arrested cell cycle and decreased cell migration rate.Furthermore,the protein levels of cyclin D1,cyclin-dependent kinase 4,phoshorylated retinoblastoma protein,N-cadherin and vimentin were significantly decreased after knockdown of miRNA-483-3p,accompanied with the up-regulation of E-cadherin and β-catenin protein expression.Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that Smad4 was a potential target gene of miRNA-483-3p.Down-regulation of Smad4 in the A172 cells transfected with miRNA-483-3p inhibitor partially reversed the effect of miRNA-483-3p on cell viability and migration.CONCLUSION:Knockdown of miRNA-483-3p restrains the growth and migration of A172 cells by targeting Smad4. 相似文献

AIM: To examine the expression of miRNA-22 in the ovarian tissues and the effect of miRNA-22 over-expression on the proliferation, migration and invasion in SKOV-3 cells. METHODS: The expression levels of miRNA-22 in different ovarian tissues and SKOV-3 cells were determined by qPCR. miRNA-22 was over-expressed by transfection of miRNA-22 mimic. The cell viability was examined by CCK-8 assay. The cell migration was measured by wound healing test. The cell invasion was analyzed by Transwell assay. The protein expression levels of VEGF and P53 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the normal ovarian tissue, the expression level of miRNA-22 was remarkably decreased in the ovarian tumor tissues. After transfection with miRNA-22 mimic, the expression level of miRNA-22 in the SKOV-3 cells was significantly increased, while the cell viability, migration and invasion were obviously decreased. Moreover, the protein expression of VEGF and P53 was dramatically inhibited after over-expression of miRNA-22. CONCLUSION: The decreased miRNA-22 expression may be correlated with the development of ovarian can-cer. Over-expression of miRNA-22 decreases the cell viability, migration and invasion by reducing the protein expression of VEGF and P53. 相似文献

AIM:To explore the function and significance of microRNA-330 (miR-330) in the development of gastric cancer. METHODS:Forty-eight cases of gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent tissues were collected in Department of Oncology, Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, and the expression levels of miR-330 were detected by RT-qPCR. The expression levels of miR-330 in the gastric cancer cells and human gastric epithelial GES-1 cells were evaluated by RT-qPCR. The viability, colony formation and migration of gastric cancer cells after transfected with miR-330 inhibitor or miR-330 mimic were analyzed by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay and Transwell assay, respectively. Furthermore, miR-330 target gene was predicted by miRanda target gene prediction database. RESULTS:miR-330 expression was down-regulated both in gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cells (P<0.05). The expression levels of miR-330 were negatively associated with the tumor size, lymph metastasis, pathological grade stage and T stage (P<0.05). The viability, colony formation and migration of gastric cancer cells were significantly increased after transfected with miR-330 inhibitor (P<0.05). However, the viability, colony formation and migration of gastric cancer cells were significantly decreased after transfected with miR-330 mimic (P<0.05). Furthermore, EGR-2 was the direct target gene of miR-330. CONCLUSION:miR-330 suppresses gastric cancer cell growth and migration, and the mechanism may be related to its direct target gene EGR-2, suggesting that miR-330 may be used as a potential new target for diagnosis and targeted therapy for gastric cancer. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the clinical significance of microRNA-326 (miRNA-326) expression in gastric carcinoma and the effect of up-regulation of its expression on the viability and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. METHODS: The expression of miRNA-326 in 55 tissue samples of gastric cancer was detected by RT-qPCR, and the relationship between the expression and the clinicopathological features was analyzed. The expression of miRNA-326 in gastric cancer BGC-823 cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The BGC-823 cells were transfected by liposome method, and randomly divided into normal control group (untransfected), mimic-NC group (transfected with negative control mimic) and miRNA-326 mimic group (transfected with miRNA-326 mimic). After up-regulation of miRNA-326 expression, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, and the apoptosis of the cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of matrix metalloprotein 9 (MMP-9), p21, cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of cyclin D1 was detected by RT-qPCR. Whether CCND1 (the gene of cyclin D1) was the target gene of miRNA-326 was evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: The expression of miRNA-326 in the gastric cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The miRNA-326 expression had a significant correlation with the tumor size, lymph node metastasis, differentiation, and clinical stages (P<0.05), but it had no correlation with the age and sex of the patients. Moreover, the expression of miRNA-326 was also closely related to the survival rate of the patients (P<0.05). The expression of miRNA-326 in the BGC-823 cells was significantly lower than that in the normal gastric mucosa GES-1 cells (P<0.05). Compared with normal control group, the expression of miRNA-326 in mimic-NC group did not change significantly, while that in miRNA-326 mimic group was increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with normal control group, the cell viability in miRNA-326 mimic group was significantly decreased, and the apoptosis was increased (P<0.05). In addition, compared with normal control group, the protein levels of MMP-9, cyclin D1 and Bcl-2, and the mRNA expression of cyclin D1 in miRNA-326 mimic group were decreased, while the protein levels of p21 and cleaved caspase-3 were increased (P<0.05). However, no significant difference of above protein and mRNA levels between mimic-NC group and normal control group was observed. Compared with mimic-NC+miR-326 mimic group, the activity of luciferase in the cells transfected with pmiR-CCND1-WT plasmid was significantly decreased (P<0.05), but that in the cells transfected with pmiR-CCND1-Mut plasmid did not change significantly. CONCLUSION: The expression level of miRNA-326 in gastric cancer tissues is low, and it may promote cell viability and inhibit cell apoptosis by targeting CCND1. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of baicalein (BAI) on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells and the mechanisms. METHODS: After MGC-803 cells were treated with BAI at different concentrations, the viability of the MGC-803 cells was tested by MTT assay. The cell colony formation ability were detected by plate colony formation assay. Wound-healing and Transwell cell migration assays were used to test the migration ability of the MGC-803 cells. The concentration of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) was measured by ELISA. The protein levels of platelet type 12-lipoxygenase (p12-LOX), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p-ezrin and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in MGC-803 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: BAI significantly inhibited the proliferation, plate colony formation and migration abilities of the MGC-803 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01), down-regulated the concentration of p12-LOX metabolite 12-HETE significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), decreased the protein levels of p12-LOX, VEGF, p-ezrin, vimentin and Snail (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and increased the protein expression of E-cadherin (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: BAI suppresses the proliferation and migration abilities of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells effectively. These effects of BAI may be related to regulating the protein levels of p12-LOX, VEGF, p-ezrin and EMT-related proteins. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of sinomenine on the viability, migration and invasion of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS:The SKOV3 cells were treated with sinomenine at different concentrations for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. CCK-8 assay was employed to detect the effects of sinomenine on the viability of the SKOV3 cells. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution. The cell migration and invasion abilities were measured by Transwell assay. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of cyclin A, cyclin D1, E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). RESULTS:Sinomenine remarkably inhibited the viability of SKOV3 cells and IOSE80 cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), and the IC50 values of 48 h were 2.12 mmol/L and 17.35 mmol/L, respectively. In a dose-dependent manner, sinomenine induced G0/G1 and S phase arrest in SKOV3 cells (P<0.05), suppressed the migration and invasion abilities of SKOV3 cells (P<0.05), down-regulated the protein levels of cyclin A, cyclin D1 and MMP-9 (P<0.05), and up-regulated the protein level of E-cadherin (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Sinomenine inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells most likely via down-regulation of the protein levels of cyclin A, cyclin D1 and MMP-9, and up-regulation of the protein level of E-cadherin. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of toosendanin (TSN) on invasion and migration abilities of human ovarian cancer cells and the related mechanism. METHODS: The human ovarian cancer cell lines CAVO-3 and SKVO-3 were treated with TSN at different concentrations. The cell viabilty at 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after TSN treatment was measured by CCK-8 assay. Scratch wound healing assay and Transwell assay were employed to measure the invasion and migration abilities of CAVO-3 cells. The protein expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: TSN significantly inhibited the viability of CAVO-3 and SKVO-3 cells (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the migration and invasion abilities of CAVO-3 cells in TSN group decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the expression of NF-κB p65 and E-cadherin protein increased notably, followed with N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail protein decreased significantly (P<0.05). However, the inhibitor of NF-κB BAY11-7082 reversed the impact above. Compared with TSN group, the migration and invasion abilities in TSN+BAY11-7082 group increased significantly (P<0.05). The protein expression of E-cadherin also decreased notably, followed with the protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TSN inhibits the invasion and migration abilities of human ovarian cancer cells, which is related to the inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition process mediated by NF-κB/Snail signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of HuR on cell function of gastric cancer cell line MGC-803. METHODS:The mRNA expression level of HuR was detected by RT-qPCR in the tumor samples of 80 gastric cancer patients diagnosed clinically. HuR gene knock-down was achieved by transfection of si-HuR into the MGC-803 cells. The invasion, migration and viability of MGC-803 cells were measured by the scratch wound hearing, Transwell and CCK-8 assays, respectively. RESULTS:High mRNA expression of HuR was observed in 67 cases (84%) of gastric cancer tissues as compared with their control samples. Furthermore, knock-down of HuR expression effectively inhibited the invasion, migration and viability of the MGC-803 cells (P<0.05), indicating that HuR play an important role in gastric cancer as an oncogene. CONCLUSION:Abnormal expression of HuR is correlated with the progression of gastric cancer. Knock-down of HuR expression inhibits the invasion, migration and viability of MGC-803 cells. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the regulatory effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on the viability and migration of rat basilar arterial smooth muscle cells (BASMCs) and its potential molecular mechanisms. METHODS:BASMCs were isolated, cultured in vitro and treated with Hcy at different concentrations. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, and the activation of Rho kinase pathway was measured by Western blot. The cells were treated with Hcy at fixed concentration (1 mmol/L), and ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 was also used. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The cell migration ability was detected by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. The activation of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured for determining the status of oxidative stress.RESULTS:Hcy increased the viability of BASMCs and the protein expression of GTP-RhoA and ROCK2 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Compared with the cells treated with Hcy for 24 h, the cells treated with Hcy for 48 h had enhanced viability (P<0.05). Compared with control group, treatment with Hcy increased cell population in S phase and decreased cell population in G0/G1 phase, while pre-incubation with Y-27632 reversed Hcy-induced G1/S phase transition in BASMCs (P<0.05). The cell migration rate in Hcy treatment group was remarkably higher than that in control group(P<0.05), while pre-incubation with Y-27632 reversed Hcy-induced cell migration (P<0.05). Furthermore, Hcy inhibited the activation of SOD and GSH-Px, accompanied with increased MDA level (P<0.05). Compared with Hcy treatment group, pre-incubation with Y-27632 increased the activation of SOD and GSH-Px, but decreased MDA level (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Homocysteine induces the viability and migration of rat BASMCs, and its mechanisms may be related to activation of Rho kinase pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To analyze the difference of endonuclease domain containing 1 (ENDOD1) expression between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues and prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and to investigate the effect of ENDOD1 on the biological function of human prostate cancer cells. METHODS: The BPH samples (n=20) and PCa samples (n=21) were processed and analyzed according to the instruction of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The mRNA and protein levels of ENDOD1 in the normal prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells were evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. The recombinant plasmids pCMV-N-Flag-ENDOD1 was constructed and was transfected into the human prostate cancer cells. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion abilities of the prostate cancer cells were evaluated by MTT assay, flow cytometry, Transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays, respectively. RESULTS: The analysis of variance of the immunoreactivity score showed that PCa tissues with high Gleason score displayed significantly lower ENDOD1expression than that with low Gleason score and BPH (P<0.05). The expression of ENDOD1 at mRNA and protein levels in PC3 cells and DU145 cells was significantly lower than that in the LNCap cells (P<0.05). The proliferation of DU145 transfected with ENDOD1 was inhibited. The flow cytometry indicated that ENDOD1 over-expression in the DU145 cells resulted in a notable increase in G0/G1 phase arrest (P<0.05), but the apoptotic rates showed no statistical difference. The results of Transwell assay showed that migration and invasion abilities of the cells were also inhibited after transfection with over-expressing ENDOD1 plasmid (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of ENDOD1 significantly decreased in prostate cancer with high Gleaon score. Meanwhile, the ENDOD1 is specifically down-regulated in androgen independent prostate cancer (AIPC) cell lines. Over-expression of ENDOD1 remarkably inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of AIPC. 相似文献

After down-regulation of miRNA-93 by transfection with miRNA-93 inhibitor in the Jurkat cells, the cell viability, cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution were detected by CCK-8 assay, EdU assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Furthermore, the protein levels of cell cycle-related molecules such as cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), phosphorylation retinoblastoma (Rb) and P27 were measured by Western blot.RESULTS: miRNA-93 was highly expressed in the patients with ALL, and the expression level was highest in the high risk patients. Down-regulation of miRNA-93 inhibited Jurkat cell viability, arrested cell cycle in G1/S transition. In addition, the protein levels of cyclin D1, CDK4 and p-Rb were significantly decreased, the protein expression of P27 was increased in Jurkat cells trasfected with miRNA-93 inhibitor.CONCLUSION: miRNA-93 expression is increased in ALL patients. Down-regulation of miRNA-93 restrains cell proliferation in the acute T cell leukemia cell line Jurkat via regulating cell cycle-related molecules. 相似文献

AIM: To study the expression of microRNA (miRNA)-181a in different human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, and to investigate the effect of miRNA-181a on cell function and its mechanism in human lung adenocarcinoma drug resistant cell A549/DDP. METHODS: Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-181a in BEAS-2B cells, A549 cells and A549/DDP cells. The A549/DDP cells were transfected with pGenesil-miRNA-181a eukaryotic expression plasmid. At the same time, the untransfection group and negative transfection group were also set up. The expression of miRNA-181a, cell viability, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis rate during cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) treatment, cell cycle, cell invasion, the protein expression of miRNA-181a target genes bcl-2 and p53 in the A549/DDP cells were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, MTT assay, flow cytometry, Transwell method and Western blot, respectivly. RESULTS: The expression of miRNA-181a in A549 cells and A549/DDP cells was significantly lower than that in BEAS-2B cells, and the lowest expression level was observed in A549/DDP cells (P<0.05). The expression of miRNA-181a in A549/DDP cells was significantly increased after transfection with pGenesil-miRNA-181a (P<0.05). The cell viability, cell cycle and invasion ability of the A549/DDP cells were inhibited after miRNA-181a transfection (P<0.05). The cell growth inhibition rate and apoptotic rate of the A549/DDP cells were increased (P<0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 was reduced, but the expression of P53 was increased after transfection with miRNA-181a in A549/DDP cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miRNA-181a may be correlated with the development of human lung adenocarcinoma. miRNA-181a can serve as a new target for treatment of lung cancer. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of the combination of berberin (Ber) and mitomycin C (MMC) on the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of T24 bladder cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The T24 cells were exposed to MMC in the presence or absence of difference concentrations of Ber. The viability of the T24 cells was determined by CCK-8 assay. The cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry. The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, and the protein expression levels of cyclin D1, survivin, CDK2, CDK4, p21 and p27 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: CCK-8 experiments showed that Ber enhanced the inhibitory effect of MMC on the viability of T24 cells. The results of flow cytometry showed that Ber also enhanced the blockade effect of MMC on T24 cells in G0/G1 phase (P<0.05). Compared with the MMC group, Ber increased the expression of p21 and p27 up-regulated by MMC, and decreased the expression of cynlin D1, CDK2 and CDK4 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Ber promoted MMC to inhibit the expression of survivin (P<0.05). Ber increased the apoptosis of T24 cells induced by MMC (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ber significantly enhances the inhibitory effect of MMC on the viability of T24 cells. The mechanism may be related to up-regulation of p21 and p27, thereby inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1, CDK-2 and CDK-4. At the same time, Ber inhibits the protein expression of survivin, which eventually leads to cell arrest in G0/G1 phase and promotes apoptosis. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in colon can-cer cells, and to determine its regulatory roles in colon cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. METHODS: qPCR and Western blot were used to quantify the mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1 in human colon cancer SW620 cells and normal colonic epithelial FHC cells. HMGB1 shRNA was transfected into the SW620 cells to establish the stable HMGB1-downregulating colon cancer cells (shHMGB1 group), and negative control (shNC) group and blank control (blank) group were also set up. The proliferation, migration and invasion of the cells were determined by CCK-8 assay, colony formation experiment and Transwell chamber assays. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of p-ERK, ERK, c-Myc, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS: Both of the mRNA and protein levels of HMGB1 in colon cancer cells were higher than those in the normal colonic epithelial cells (P<0.05). HMGB1 gene was successfully knocked down in SW620 cells. Compared with blank group and shNC group, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of the cells in shHMGB1 group were significantly inhibited (P<0.05). The protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, N-cadherin, c-Myc, Bcl-2 and p-ERK were reduced notably, while the expression of Bax protein was increased (P<0.05) in shHMGB1 group compared with shNC group and blank group.CONCLUSION: HMGB1 effectively promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of colon cancer cells through ERK/c-Myc signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism of down-regulated EZH2 expression promoting senescence of ovarian cancer cells. METHODS: Real- time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of EZH2 in ovarian cancer tissues, normal tissues, 4 ovarian cancer cell lines and IOSE80 cells. The ovarian cancer cells and IOSE80 cells were transfected with EZH2 siRNA (siEZH2) by Lipofectamine 2000 or treated with GSK126. Transfected IOSE80 cells were treated with ionizing radiation for 72 h, and negative control siRNA served as a control. The cell proliferation, apoptotic rate and senescence were detected by MTT assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry and SA-β-Gal staining. The protein levels of EZH2, p53, p21, p16, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, PARP, cleaved PARP, H3K27me3, H3K27me2 and H3K27me1 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The EZH2 expression in the ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cells was significantly higher than that in the normal tissues and IOSE80 cells, respectively (P<0.01). siEZH2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, and promoted ionizing radiation-induced senescence. This effect was consistent with the cell phenotype after GSK126 treatment. Knock-down of EZH2 expression significantly inhibited the expression of H3K27me3, promoted the expression of p53, p21 and p16 (P<0.01), and had no effect on the protein levels of the key molecules in the apoptotic pathway. CONCLUSION: EZH2 is highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cells. Knock-down of EZH2 expression promotes the senescence of ovarian cancer cells via decrease in H3K27me3 level, thus inhibiting the proliferation of the cells. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of paired-related homeobox 2 (PRRX2) gene on the viability and migration ability of gastric cancer cells, and to analyze the underlying mechanism of regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.METHODS: The expression of PRRX2 in gastric cancer and normal gastric tissue and the correlation between PRRX2 expression in gastric cancer tissues with the overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients were analyzed by bioinformatics. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) and over-expressed plasmids of PRRX2 were transfected into gastric cancer cells MGC-803 and SGC-7901, respectively. MTT assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the viability and migration ability of gastric cancer cells. Western blot and TOPflash/FOPflash dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were used to detect the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detected the interaction between PRRX2 and β-catenin proteins.RESULTS: Knockdown of PRRX2 attenuated the viability and migration ability of gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 (P<0.05). Over-expression of PRRX2 enhanced the viability and migration ability of SGC-7901 cells (P<0.05), increased the protein levels of β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1 (P<0.05) and the activity of TOPflash/FOPflash dual-luciferase reporter gene (P<0.05). PRRX2 interacted with β-catenin protein in gastric cancer cells.CONCLUSION: PRRX2 promotes the viability and migration ability of gastric cancer cells, which may be related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. 相似文献
