- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of FEZ family zinc finger 1-antisense RNA 1(LncRNA FEZF1-AS1)targeting regulation of miR-200c-3p expression on biological behaviors of human lung fibroblasts(HLF).Methods Transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)was used to induce the transformation of HLF into myofibroblasts,which were divided into the Blank group and the model group(HLF+TGF-β1 group).According to different transfection plasmid,cells were divided into the Blank group,the TGF-β1+Si LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 NC group and the TGF-β1+Si LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 group.The protein expressions of α-SMA,Collagen Ⅰ and Vimentin were detected by Western blot assay.The expressions of LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 and miR-200c-3p were detected by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8 method,migration ability was detected by cell scratch experiment and invasion ability was detected by Transwell assay.The targeting relationship between FEZF1-AS1 and miR-200c-3p was detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results Compared with the Blank group,protein expressions of α-SMA,Collagen Ⅰ,Vimentin and the expression of LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 were increased in the HLF+TGF-β1 group(P<0.05),and the expression of miR-200c-3p was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the TGF-β1+Si LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 NC group,cell proliferation,migration,invasion ability,LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 expression,protein expressions of α-SMA,Collagen Ⅰ and Vimentin were decreased in the TGF-β1+Si LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 group(P<0.05),and the expression of miR-200c-3p was increased(P<0.05).There were binding sites between miR-200c-3p and FEZF1-AS1 gene sequence.Conclusion LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 promotes the formation and progression of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis by inhibiting miR-200c-3p.
