Journal of Clinical Medicine in Practice 2024;28(1):13-19
Objective To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 4A1 (SLCO4A1-AS1) targeting microRNA-615-5p (miR-615-5p) in esophageal cancer cells on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and expression of inflammatory factors. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze the expression of LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1 and miR-615-5p in esophageal cancer tissues and cell lines. Eca109 cells were transfected with si-NC, si-LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1, miR-NC, miR-615-5p mimic, pcDNA, pcDNA-LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1, si-LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1+anti-miR-NC, and si-LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1+anti-miR-615-5p. Cell viability and apoptosis rate were measured by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively; cell proliferation was determined by plate cloning assay; and levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the culture medium were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. A dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the relationship between LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1 and miR-615-5p. Results Expression of LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1 was upregulated, and miR-615-5p expression was downregulated in esophageal cancer tissues and cell lines. After inhibiting LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1 expression, cell viability, the number of cell clones, and levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the culture medium decreased, while miR-615-5p expression and apoptosis rate increased (

Studies in recent years revel that there is a close relationship between gastrin/cholecystokinin-2 receptors (GAS/CCK-2R) and pancreatic cancer. CCK-2R is widely distributed in human body, but not in normal exocrine pancreas. However, CCK-2R is abnormally expressed in pancreatic carcinoma. The abnormal expression of CCK-2R in pancreatic tissues leads to the abnormal protein expression and activation, changes in acinar cells' morphology and phenotype and an increase in the sensitivity to carcinogenic substances. And some GAS/CCK-2R antagonists can be used for the early and late treatment of pancreatic cancer.
