Abstract:
Objective:To explore the inhibition of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-5590-3p on the expression of transforming growth factor beta typeⅡreceptor (TGFBR2) gene and its effect on the invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cell line HS-746T.Methods:The gastric cancer cell line was cultured in vitro. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. The miR-NC and miR-5590-3p mimic were transfected into gastric cancer cell line HS-746T by lipofection, and named as miR-NC group and miR-5590-3p group, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to measure transfection effects. Transwell assay and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were used to detect cell invasion and proliferation after transfection. The bioinformatics software predicts and the dual luciferase reporter gene system validates the target gene of miR-5590-3p. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to measure the expression of TGFBR2 and its downstream proteins in the transfected cells. Results:The expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells ( P<0.05), and lowest in HS-746T cells ( P<0.01). After transfection, the expression of miR-5590-3p in miR-5590-3p group (11.76±0.21) was significantly higher than that in miR-NC group (1.06±0.21), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). The number of invasive cells in miR-NC group and miR-5590-3p group were (101.20±15.47) and (26.53±6.53), respectively, and the invasion ability of miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the miR-NC group, the cell proliferation ability of the miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Bioinformatics software showed that the target gene for miR-5590-3p is TGFBR2. The dual luciferase reporter gene system confirmed that miR-5590-3p can target the TGFBR2 gene ( P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with miR-NC group, the expression of TGFBR2 in HS-746T cells in miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), the expression of ZEB-1 and ZEB-2, and the expression of CDK1 and cyclin B proteins were decreased as well. Conclusions:miR-5590-3p can inhibit the invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cell HS-746T by targeting and regulating the expression of TGFBR2 gene.
