Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin on miR-449b expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and elucidate the molecular mechanism of 5-FU and cisplatin inhibiting the migration of HCC cells.Methods Real-time qPCR analysis was conducted to determine the expression of miR-449b in 50 HCC tissues.RT-PCR assay was performed to detect the expression of miR-449b in HCC cells with 5-FU and cisplatin treatment.The migration of HCC cells with the overexpression of miR-449b was determined by wound-healing assay;Rescue assay was employed to investigate the correlation between 5-FU & cisplatin, miR-449b and the migration capacity of HCC cells;The putative targets of miR-449b were predicted and validated using target prediction programs and immunoblots.Results The expression of miR-449b decreased in HCC tissues (P<0.0001).miR-449b expression increased in HCC cells upon the treatment of 5-FU and cisplatin (P<0.001).The overexpression of miR-449b inhibited the migration of HCC cells (P<0.001).Rescue assay revealed that inhibition of miR-449b to prevent 5-FU and cisplatin induction resulted in suppressed migration in SMMC7721 cells(P<0.05).Catenin-δ was a functional target of miR-449b.Conclusions 5-FU and cisplatin inhibit the migration of HCC cells at least partly via inducing the expression of miR-449b.
