Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression of miR-548j-5p in pancreatic cancer and its effect on the invasion of pancreatic cancer. Methods Tissue samples of 16 patients with pancreatic cancer who received treatment in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science &Technology between January 2016 and January 2017 were collected. There were 8 males and 8 females, aged from 41 to 62, including 7 cases with an age of ≤50 and 9 cases with an age of >50. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. The expression of miR-548j-5p in pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues was detected by RT-PCR. PANC-1 cells were transfected by mimic and inhibitor of miR-548j-5p to construct PANC-1 cells with over-expression and low-expression of miR-548j-5p. And in control group, PANC-1 cells were transfected with empty plasmid Ctrl. The effect of miR-548j-5p on PANC-1 invasion was detected by Transwell assay, and its effect on PANC-1 metastasis was evaluated by wound scratch assay. Comparison of three groups was conducted by one-way analysis of variance and LSD-t test. Results The median relative expression of miR-548j-5p in pancreatic cancer was 0.35(0.03-4.47), significantly lower than 4.30 (0.04-65.55) in adjacent tissues (Z=-2.689, P<0.05).Transwell assay results showed that the average number of cells penetrating membrane was(58±34) in miR-548j-5p over-expression group, significantly lower than (231±61) in control group (LSD-t=-2.852, P<0.05);and it was(491±149)in miR-548j-5p low-expression group,significantly higher than that in control group (LSD-t=4.313, P<0.05). The wound scratch assay results showed that the wound scratch healing rate was (20±8)% in miR-548j-5p over-expression group, significantly lower than (38±6)% in control group (LSD-t=-3.759, P<0.05); and it was (53±6)% in miR-548j-5p low-expression group, significantly higher than that in control group (LSD-t=2.946, P<0.05). Conclusions Low expression of miR-548j-5p is observed in pancreatic cancer. Over expression of miR-548j-5p can decrease the invasive and metastatic ability of pancreatic cancer.
