Abstract:
ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the role of salidroside in regulating the miR-1343-3p/MAP3K6 （mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 6）/MMP24 （membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 24） signaling pathway to inhibit gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. MethodsHuman gastric cancer cells （MGC-803） were divided into several groups based on different salidroside concentrations： a control group （0 μmol/mL）， a low-dose group （6 μmol/mL）， a medium-dose group （12 μmol/mL）， and a high-dose group （24 μmol/mL）. The anti proliferative effects of salidroside on human gastric cancer cells were evaluated by CCK-8 assay. Clonogenic assay was used to examine the effects of salidroside drugs on the clonogenic ability of human gastric cancer cells. Transwell assay was performed to detect the effect of salidroside on the invasive ability of human gastric cancer cells. Cell scratch assay was performed to detect the effect of salidroside on the migration ability of human gastric cancer cells. The miRNA expression profile was analyzed by using RNA-seq in cancer cells for 24 h after salidroside treatment. The differentially expressed miRNAs were clustered and their target genes were predicted. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） were used to analyze and predict the functions of these target genes， and the interaction networks were established. Immunocytofluorescence was used to detect the expression of target proteins， and the transcription of candidate genes was detected by q-PCR. ResultsCCK-8 cytotoxicity experiments showed that salidroside inhibited the proliferation of MGC-803 cells （P < 0.01）. Cell cloning experiments showed that salidroside reduced the clonal formation capacity of MGC-803 cells （P < 0.000 1）. Cell invasion experiments showed that salidroside reduced the MGC-803 cell invasion capacity （P < 0.000 1）. Cell scratch experiments showed that salidroside reduced the cell migration capacity （P < 0.000 1）. RNA-seq findings showed that the expression of 44 miRNAs changed significantly after salidroside treatment in cancer cells （P < 0.05）. Bioinformatic analysis showed that there were 1 384 target mRNAs corresponding to the differentially expressed miRNAs， and the expression of the tumor suppressor miR-1343-3p was significantly upregulated after salidroside treatment （P < 0.01），and resulted in down-regulated transcription of MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes which are related to the proliferation and migration of cancer cells （P < 0.05）. Immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that salidroside reduced protein expression levels in MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes （P < 0.000 1）. q-PCR experiments showed that salidroside reduced the mRNA expression level of MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes （P < 0.000 1）， while miRNA expression in miR-1343-3p gene was upregulated （P < 0.000 1）. ConclusionSalidroside regulates the miRNA-1343-3p/MAP3K6/MMP24 signaling molecules to inhibit proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells.
