Objective:To investigate the effects of miRNA-628-3p (miR-628-3p) on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer H1299 cells and its targeting relationship with insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R).Methods:The blank control group (untreated H1299 cells), miR-NC group (H1299 cells transfected with empty plasmid), miR-628-3p-M group (H1299 cells transfected with miR-628-3p mimic sequence plasmid) and miR-628-3p-I group (H1299 cells transfected with miR-628-3p inhibitory sequence plasmid) were established. The cells in each group were cultured for 72 h, and the cell proliferation ability was detected by methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) method, the number of cell monoclonal formation was determined by crystal violet staining, the level of cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry, and the cell invasion ability was determined by Transwell method. The mRNA levels of miR-628-3p and IGF-1R in cells were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the protein level of IGF-1R in cells was determined by Western blotting.Results:Compared with the blank control group and miR-NC group, the cell survival rate [(42±7)% vs. (78±6)%, (76±7)%], the number of monoclonal formation [235±35 vs. 614±89, 618±75], the number of invasive cells [(265±85) cells vs. (693±185) cells, (703±119) cells], relative expression of IGF-1R mRNA (2.17±0.14 vs. 3.38±0.15, 3.37±0.13) and relative expression of IGF-1R protein (0.34±0.13 vs. 0.89±0.19, 0.88±0.18) in the miR-628-3p-M group were lower (all P < 0.05), but the apoptosis rate [(9.30±3.51)% vs. (3.30±1.54)%, (3.10±1.94)%] and relative expression of miR-628-3p (6.93±0.17 vs. 3.29±0.15, 3.30±0.16) were higher (all P < 0.05); the cell survival rate [(90±6)%], the number of monoclonal formation (1 063±102), the number of invasive cells [(1 985±426) cells], relative expression of IGF-1R mRNA (4.30±0.18) and relative expression of IGF-1R protein (1.47±0.17) in the miR-628-3p-I group were higher (all P < 0.05), but the apoptosis rate [(0.90±0.20)%] and the relative expression of miR-628-3p (1.93±0.18) were lower (both P < 0.05). Compared with the miR-628-3p-M group, the miR-628-3p-I group had higher cell survival rate, the number of monoclonal formation, the number of invasive cells, and the relative expressions of IGF-1R mRNA and protein (all P < 0.05), but the apoptosis rate and relative expression of miR-628-3p were lower (both P < 0.05). Conclusions:After regulation of miR-628-3p level, the proliferation, migration and invasion of H1299 cells are affected. miR-628-3p may have a targeting relationship with IGF-1R.
