Objective:To study the regulatory effects and mechanisms of deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 1 (DLEU1), microRNA-513a-5p (miR-513a-5p), and RAN binding protein 2 (RANBP2) in nephroblastoma.Methods:The GHINK-1 cells were transfected with pcDNA (pcDNA group), pcDNA-DLEU1 (pcDNA-DLEU1 group), miR-NC (miR-NC group), miR-513a-5p mimics (miR-513a-5p group), pcDNA-RANBP2 (pcDNA-RANBP2 group), pcDNA-DLEU1 and miR-NC (pcDNA-DLEU1+ miR-NC group), pcDNA-DLEU1 and miR-513a-5p mimics (pcDNA-DLEU1+ miR-513a-5p group), miR-513a-5p mimics and pcDNA (miR-513a-5p+ pcDNA group), miR-513a-5p mimics and pcDNA-RANBP2 (miR-513a-5p + pcDNA-RANBP2 group). Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of DLEU1, miR-513a-5p, RANBP2 in nephroblastoma tissues, normal adjacent tissues, normal kidney cell HK2, and hemangioblastoma cell GHINK-1. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 related X (Bax). Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell survival rate. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate. Dual luciferase report test was used to detect the luciferase activity of cells.Results:The expression levels of DLEU1, miR-513a-5p and RANBP2 in adjacent tissues were 1.02±0.08, 1.01±0.06, 1.00±0.05, respectively, significantly lower than 5.16±0.24, 0.23±0.02, 1.67±0.09 in nephroblasts tumor tissues ( P<0.05). Their expression levels in HK2 cells were 1.00±0.06, 1.00±0.08, 1.02±0.09, respectively, significantly lower than 3.15±0.21, 0.18±0.01, 1.54±0.10 in GHINK-1 cells ( P<0.05). Overexpression of DLEU1 significantly reduced the apoptosis rate (7.35±0.41 vs 12.35±1.12, P<0.05). Overexpression of RANBP2 significantly reduced the apoptosis rate (8.89±0.48 vs 12.64±1.12, P<0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group (1.01±0.06, 0.99±0.06), the luciferase activity of DLEU1-WT (0.43±0.04) and RANBP2-WT (0.61±0.07) in miR-513a-5p group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Compared with anti-miR-NC group (0.99±0.07, 0.98±0.05), the luciferase activity of DLEU1-WT (1.34±0.11) and RANBP2-WT (1.39 ±0.13) in anti-miR-513a-5p group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Simultaneous overexpression of pcDNA-DLEU1 and miR-513a-5p in GHINK-1 cells significantly reduced the apoptosis rate (11.34±1.03 vs 8.51±0.69, P<0.05). Simultaneous overexpression of miR-513a-5p and RANBP2 in GHINK-1 cells significantly reduced the apoptosis rate (9.96±0.72 vs 15.94±1.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:The long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) DLEU1 can promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of nephroblastoma cells. The mechanism is related to the targeted regulation of miR-513a-5p and RANBP2 function, which will provide theoretical support for the nephroblastoma treatment.
