Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the expression of microRNA-23a (miR-23a) and phosphatase and tensin homolog detected on chromosome ten (PTEN) regulatory axis in LS513 cells, and to explore the effects of miR-23a and PTEN on the occurrence and development of CRC.Methods:LS513 cells were divided into blank control group (NG group) : cells were not specially treated, negative control group (NC group) : 5 μl Lipofectamine3000 and 50 pmol/μl NC were added, Inhibition of miR-23a expression group (miR-23a-inhibitor group) : miR-23a-inhibitor sequence was transfected. The mRNA levels of miR-23a and PTEN in LS513 cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) ; the proliferation of LS513 cells was detected by MTT method; Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration and invasion; Western blotting was used to detect proliferation, migration, invasion and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway related proteins.Results:Compared with those in NG group and NC group, the level of miR-23a in miR-23a inhibitor group was significantly lower ( P<0.05) , and the expression levels of PTEN mRNA and protein were significantly higher ( P<0.05) . The results of MTT showed that, compared with those in NG group and NC group, the proliferation inhibition rate in miR-23a-inhibitor groupwas significantly higher ( P<0.05) , and the expression of PCNA protein was significantly lower ( P<0.05) . Compared with those in NG group and NC group, the migration number and invasion number of LS513 cells in miR-23a-inhibitor group were significantly lower ( P<0.05) , and the expression of MMP-9 and E-cadherin protein was significantly lower ( P<0.05) . Compared with those in NG group and NC group, the expression of p-pi3k/PI3K and p-atk/ATK protein in miR-23a-inhibitor group was significantly lower ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Inhibition of miR-23a expression may up-regulate PTEN gene expression, inhibit PI3K/Akt pathway activation, and then inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of LS513 cells.
