Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation of miR-181a and miR-181b with fucosyltransferase FUT1, the functional mechanism was elucidated in a colorectal cancer ( CRC).Methods It collected 32 pairs of tissue samples , 18 males and 14 females in the first affiliated hospital of Dalian Medicinal University, from March 2014 to January 2016.The expression of miR-181a and miR-181b was detected by RT-PCR in CRC tissues , adjacent tissues , serum of colorectal cancer patients and healthy people, and CRC cell lines SW620 and SW480 with differently metastatic ability.The relationship of FUT1 and miR-181a, miR-181b expression were verificated by Pearson's correlation curve.FUT1 was identified the target of miR-181a and miR-181b by Network prediction softwares ( TargetScan Human 7.1, microRNA.org and Starbase v2.0) and luciferase assay.The effects of miR-181a and miR-181b expression on the proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of SW 480 and SW620 cells were further detected by CCK8, wound healing, transwell and tube foramtion assays.T-test was used for comparison between two independent samples , and one-way anova was used for comparison between multiple samples . Pearson correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis .Results The levels of miR-181a and 181b in CRC tissues were much lower than in tumor-adjacent tissues (3.12 ±1.88 vs 6.44 ±2.32, t=11.74;3.16 ± 1.77 vs 5.52 ±2.45, t=3.24 ;P<0.05).The levels of miR-181a and 181b in serum of colorectal cancer patients were much lower than in healthy people (1.32 ±0.25,2.57 ±0.48,t=10.26;0.91 ±0.14,1.63 ± 0.29,t=5.19;P<0.05 ) .The levels of miR-181a and miR-181b in SW620, SW480 CRC cells were detected to be much lower than in normal colorectal epithelial cells [(0.65 ±0.10, 0.50 ±0.09) vs 1.0;(0.60 ±0.12,0.42 ±0.03)vs 1.0;t=3.08, P<0.05].FUT1 was highly expressed in CRC tissues and SW620 (t=5.23, P<0.05).Based on the network prediction softwares and luciferase assays , FUT1 was the common target of miR-181a and miR-181b.Over expression of miR-181a or miR-181b inhibited FUT1 level and attenuated the capacity of cell migration , invasion and proliferation in SW 620.Down-regulation of miRNAs in SW480 increased FUT1 expression and promoted the capability of cell migration , invasion and proliferation.Downregulation of the two miRNAs attenuated the capability of cell invasion in SW 480, which was blocked by the reductive FUT1.Conclusion MiR-181a and miR-181b mediated the progression of CRC cells by targeting FUT1.
