[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) in colorectal cancer tissues and cells and its effect on the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2019, 78 pairs of colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancerous tissues from the patients who had radical colorectal cancer resection in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to quantify the levels of lncRNA SNHG10 and miR-532-3p in colorectal cancer tissues, colorectal cancer cell lines (SW480, SW620, HT-29 and LoVo) and human normal colorectal mucosal FHC cells; and their correlations with the clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer patients were further analyzed. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to validate the targeted relationship between lncRNA SNHG10 and miR-532-3p. After transfection with si-SNHG10 or miR-532-3p mimic or co-transfection of si-SNHG10 and miR-532-3p inhibitor, the invasion and migration of SW620 cells were detected by Transwell assay, and the protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin were detected by WB. Results: SNHG10 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and cells (all P<0.05), and its expression was related to TNM stage and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). miR-532-3p was lowly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and cells, and its expression was correlated with TNM stage, lymphonode metastasis and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). The expression of SNHG10 and miR-532-3p in colorectal cancer tissues was negatively correlated (r=-0.225, P=0.048). Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that SNHG10 targetedly regulated miR-532-3p. Both down-regulation of SNHG10 and up-regulation of miR-532-3p significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of SW620 cells (all P<0.05), up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin (P<0.05), while down-regulated the expression of N-cadherin and vimentin (all P<0.05). After transfection with miR-532-3p inhibitor, the inhibitory effect of knocking down the expression of lncRNA SNHG10 on the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells was reversed (all P<0.05). Conclusions: LncRNA SNHG10 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and is associated with TNM stage and distant metastasis. LncRNA SNHG10 affects the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells by targeting miR-532-3p and regulating EMT.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effects of forkhead box transcription factor (FOXK2) overexpression on the proliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion of human ovarian cancer SK-OV-3 cells and its related molecular mechanism. Methods: The open reading frame (ORF) of FOXK2 was cloned into lentivirus expression vector, which was then enveloped in HEK293T cells and transfected into human ovarian cancerSK-OV-3cells.TheoverexpressionefficiencywasdetectedbyqPCRandWesternblotting.Theproliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion of SK-OV-3 cells were detected by CCK-8, Scratch-healing, Transwell and Cell adhesion assays respectively, and the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers were detected by qPCR. Results: The FOXK2 overexpression vector was constructed successfully and packaged into lentivirus, which was then transfected into SK-OV-3 cells. After transfection, the expression of FOXK2 was significantly increased (P<0.01); the proliferation, migration and invasion of SK-OV-3 cells were significantly reduced while the adhesion ability was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); and the expression levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin were significantly increased while that of vimentin and fibronection were significantly decreased (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Overexpression of FOXK2 in SK-OV-3 cells leads to a significant decrease in proliferation, migration and invasion but increase in adhesion. The molecular mechanism may be related to the reversion of the EMT process in tumor cells, suggesting that FOXK2 may be a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer.

[摘 要] 目的:通过生物信息学手段筛选乳腺癌中差异表达的关键miRNA及其靶基因,干预其在乳腺癌细胞中的表达并观察对乳腺癌细胞功能的影响。方法:利用GEO数据库筛选在乳腺癌中差异表达的miRNA,ENCORI数据库验证差异miRNA的表达,以选定最显著的差异表达miRNA为研究对象;利用Starbase、miRDB和miRWalk数据库预测miR-32-5p的靶基因,利用DAVID数据库对靶基因进行GO分析和KEGG分析,利用String数据库联合Cytoscape3.6.2软件进行PPI网络分析及核心基因的筛选,从核心基因中选择相互联系紧密“度值”最显著的Dickkopf相关蛋白3(DDK3)基因进行后续实验。qPCR检测miR-32-5p在人正常乳腺细胞 MCF10A和人乳腺癌细胞MCF7、MDA-MB-231、MDA-MB-453细胞中的表达。向MDA-MB-231细胞中转染miR-32-5p mimic、miR-32-5p inhibitor及各自的对照(NC)序列,分别用CCK-8法、流式细胞术和Transwell实验检测过表达或抑制miR-32-5p对细胞增殖、凋亡和侵袭的影响。结果:从GEO数据库中获取的两个数据集共识别出两个差异miRNA,ENCORI数据库验证差异miRNA的表达发现miR-32-5p的表达水平与GEO数据库的结果一致,故选择其进行研究;预测得到198个miR-32-5p潜在的靶基因并鉴定出10个核心基因(DKK3、WNT2B、SFRP5、SFRP2、SFRP1、LRP6、WNT6、KREMEN1、NEDD4L、TRIP12),其中DKK3的度值最大可能在乳腺癌中较为重要,于是选择miR-32-5p/DKK3轴进行后续研究。miR-32-5p在3种乳腺癌细胞中的表达水平显著高于正常乳腺细胞(均P<0.01),其中以MDA-MB-231细胞中表达最高。双荧光素酶基因报告实验验证了miR-32-5p与DKK3基因的靶向结合及其对后者表达的负向调控。转染miR-32-5p mimic、miR-32-5p inhibitor后成功提高或抑制了MDA-MB-231细胞中miR-32-5p的表达。与对照组相比,过表达miR-32-5p可抑制MDA-MB-231细胞的凋亡而促进细胞增殖和侵袭(P<0.05或P<0.01),敲低miR-32-5p则起相反的作用(均P<0.01)。结论:miR-32-5p/DKK3轴可能是影响乳腺癌发生发展的关键通路,过表达miR-32-5p能够抑制乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞的凋亡而促进细胞增殖和侵袭。
