Abstract:
Objective:To explore the regulation of miR-454-3p on the activity of lung cancer cells and the expression of CBX7 protein.Methods:Normal lung epithelial cells 293T cells and human lung cancer cell line A549 cells were cultured in vitro. Lung cancer cells (A549 cells) were divided into three groups: blank group, miR-NC group and miR-454-3p group. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect the proliferation of the three groups; Transwell was used to detect the invasion number of the three groups; flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate; Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of CBX7 in lung cancer cells. Results:Compared with normal lung epithelial 293T cells, the expression of miR-454-3p mRNA in lung cancer A549 cells was significantly reduced, with significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of CBX7 protein between the blank group and the miR-NC group ( P>0.05); The protein expression of CBX7 in miR-454-3p group was significantly higher than that in blank group and miR-NC group (all P<0.05). The results of CCK-8 showed that the A value of miR-454-3p group was significantly lower than that of blank group and miR-NC group (all P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the A value of lung cancer cells between blank group and miR-NC group ( P>0.05). The results of Transwell chamber experiment showed that the number of invasion cells in miR-454-3p group was significantly reduced compared with blank group and miR-NC group, and the invasive ability of lung cancer cells decreased significantly (all P<0.05); there was no significant change in the invasive ability of lung cancer cells between the blank group and miR-NC group ( P>0.05). The results of flow cytometry showed that there was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate between the blank group and miR-NC group ( P>0.05); compared with the blank group and miR-NC group, the apoptosis rate of lung cancer cells in miR-454-3p group increased significantly (all P<0.05). Conclusions:miR-454-3p is under-expressed in lung cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-454-3p can effectively regulate the biological activity of lung cancer cells, inhibit the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells, and promote cell apoptosis. Its mechanism may be related to the promotion of CBX7 protein expression by miR-454-3p.
