Abstract:
Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of anti-miRNA-214 oligonucleotide on leukemia U937 cells.Methods U937 cells were transfected with anit-miRNA-214 oligonucleotide,cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of miRNA214 in the U937 cells were measured by real-time PCR.Results The MTT result showed that the growth of U937 cells treated with AMO-miRNA-214 in 24 h,48 h,72 h was obviously inhibited (0.812±0.001,0.770±0.002,0.541±0.001),compared with those in control groups (randomized control 1.011±0.002,1.112±0.003,1.111±0.003,blank control 1.112±0.001,1.023±0.001,1.101±0.001),the differences had statistical significance (F =2.782,3.659,2.735,P =0.021,0.018,0.036).The flow cytometry results showed that the apoptosis detected in AMO-miRNA-214 group at 48 h,72 h (15.12±0.02,19.14±0.01) had significant differences compared with those in control groups (randomized control 2.04±0.02,2.45±0.03,blank control 1.19±0.02,2.02±0.01) (F =3.683,3.762,P =0.013,0.015).The expression of miRNA-214 was downregulated significantly in U937 cells after treated with oligonucleotide (31.1±0.2) compared with those in control groups (randomized control 25.8±0.1,blank control 25.6±0.2) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Targeted inhibition of miRNA-214 with oligonucleotide can suppress U937 cells growth and induce apoptosis.
