Abstract:
[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of HOX transcript antisense RNA ( HOTAIR) on the migration and invasion abilities of liver carcinoma HepG 2 cells.METHODS:The expression of phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory sub-unit 3 (PIK3R3) in the liver cancer and normal liver tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry .The efficiency of gene silencing of HOTAIR or PIK3R3 by LV3-shHOTAIR or LV3-shPIK3R3 was determined by qPCR and Western blot .The mi-gration and invasion abilities of HepG 2 cells after silencing of HOTAIR and PIK3R3 were measured by wound healing assay and Transwell Matrigel invasion assay .The expression of miR-214 after silencing of HOTAIR and PIK3R3 was analyzed by qPCR.The expression of HOTAIR and PIK3R3 in the HepG2 cells was also evaluated by qPCR after transfected with miR-214 mimics or miR-214 inhibitor .Dual-luciferase reporter assay system was used to determine the regulatory effect of miR-214 on HOTAIR and PIK3R3 expression.RESULTS:PIK3R3 expression increased significantly in the liver cancer tissues compared with normal liver tissues .The abilities of invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma were reduced after silencing of HOTAIR and PIK3R3.miR-214 expression was increased when silencing of HOTAIR and PIK3R3 was per-formed.HOTAIR and PIK3R3 expression was reduced after transfection with miR-214 mimics.HOTAIR and PIK3R3 ex-pression was increased after transfection with miR-214 inhibitor.The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay test showed that miR-214 directly regulated HOTAIR and PIK3R3 transcription activity .CONCLUSION: HOTAIR regulates the ex-pression of PIK3R3 through miR-214, thus promoting the migration and invasion abilities in the liver cancer cells .
