Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the regulation function of miR-106a on the proliferation of human ovarian granulosa cells, and to explore its possible target.METHODS: The expression of miR-106a in granulosa cells was regulated by cell transfection, and its expression level was detected by RT-PCR. The MTT assay was used to detect the cell proliferation activities of cells. Bioinformatics methods were used to predicted the possible target genes of miR-106a, which were verified them by double-luciferase assay. The expression of target protein was detected by Western blot. RESULTS:The expression of miR-106a in KGN cells was significantly higher than that of normal ovarian epithelial cell (IOSE80), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proliferation activity of KGN cells was significantly decreased after inhibiting the expression of miR-106a (P<0.05). The results of dual luciferase assay showed that miR-106a could directly target TIMP-2 gene. Western blot results showed that the expression level of TIMP-2 protein was significantly decreased after overexpression of miR-106a (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-106a can promote the proliferation of KGN cell; The mechanism is related to the targeted reduction of TIMP-2 expression level.
