Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of propofol on the sensitivity of glioma cells to temozolomide and the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)-growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) in it.Methods:Human glioma cell line U251 were cultured in vitro and seeded in 6-, 24- or 96-well plates at a density of 1×10 5 cells/ml, and were divided into 5 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), temozolomide group (group T), propofol + temozolomide group (group PT), negative-siRNA + propofol + temozolomide group (group NPT) and GAS5-siRNA + propofol + temozolomide group (group GPT). The U251 cells in group C were cultured in the common culture medium.In group T, temozolomide 400 μmol/L was added to the culture medium.In group PT, the cells were cultured with propofol 8 μg/ml first and then with temozolomide 400 μmol/L.In group NPT and group GPT, U251 cells were transfected with negative-siRNA and GAS5-siRNA, respectively, and then cultured in the same way as previously described in group PT.The expression of lncRNA-GAS5 in U251 cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, the cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry, cell invasion was determined by Transwell invasion assay, and the expression of c-Myc, glutathione S-transferase mu 3 (GSTM3) and P21 was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased, the apoptosis rate was increased, the number of invasive cells was decreased, the expression of c-Myc and GSTM3 was down-regulated, and the expression of P21 and lncRNA-GAS5 was up-regulated in the other four groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group T, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased, the apoptosis rate was increased, the number of invasive cells was decreased, the expression of c-Myc and GSTM3 was down-regulated, and the expression of P21 and lncRNA-GAS5 was up-regulated in group PT and group NPT ( P<0.05). Compared with group PT, the cell survival rate was significantly increased, the apoptosis rate was decreased, the number of invasive cells was increased, the expression of c-Myc and GSTM3 was up-regulated, and the expression of P21 and lncRNA-GAS5 was down-regulated in group GPT ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group NPT ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Propofol can enhance the sensitivity of glioma cells to temozolomide, and the expression of lncRNA-GAS5 is involved in the process.
