Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-15b (miR-15b) in endometrial carcinoma and its effect on proliferation of endometrial carcinoma cells.Methods Eighty-seven cases of endometrial cancer tissues were selected as the research objects from patients with endometrial cancer undergoing endometrial cancer staging surgery in Xinxiang Central Hospital from February 2013 to February 2017.Another 45 cases of normal endometrial tissues from patients with uterine fibroids undergoing line hysterectomy were collected as the control.The expressions of miR-15b in endometrial carcinoma tissues and normal endometrial tissues were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and relationship between the miR-15b expression and clinicopathological feature was analyzed.The HEC-1A cells were cultured and were randomly divided into miR-15b mimics group,control sequence group and blank control group.The expression of miR-15b in HEC-1A cells was detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Tetramethylazolazole blue (MTT) assay was used to detect the cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rate and cell cycle.Results The relative expression levels of miR-15b in endometrial carcinoma tissues and normal endometrial tissues were 1.32 ±0.13 and 2.49 ±0.16,respectively.The relative expression level of miR-15b in endometrial carcinoma tissues was lower than that in the normal endometrial tissues (t =46.184,P ＜0.05).The relative expression level of miR-15b in endometrial carcinoma was correlated with International federation of gynecology and obstetrics staging,myometrial invasion and lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05),but it was not correlated with age,histological type,differentiated degree,in filtrating lymph vessel and blood vessel or not.Compared with the blank control group and the control sequence group,the relative expression level of miR-15b in miR-15b mimics group was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),the cell proliferation abilities at cultured 24,48,72 and 96 h were decreased (P ＜ 0.05),while the apoptosis rate increased (P ＜0.05),the proportion of G0 + G1 phase was significantly increased,while the proportion of G2 + M phase was decreased (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the relative expression level of miR-156,the cell proliferation ability at cultured 12,24,48,72,96 h,the apoptosis rate,the proportion of G0 + G1,S and G2 + M phase between the blank control group and the control sequence group(P ＜0.05).Conelusion miR-15b is low expression in endometrial carcinoma tissue.Up-regulation of miR-15b expression in endometrial carcinoma cells can inhibit cell proliferation,it may be related to block cell cycle to promote cell apoptosis.
