Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of infliximab combined with miRNA-21 on lung cancer A549 cells.Methods:A549 cells were cultured in vitro and then divided into four groups (blank group, infliximab group, miRNA-21 inhibitor group and combined treatment group) ; CCK-8 test was used to detect cell proliferation; Flow cytometry experiments was employed to detect apoptosis; Western blot was used to detect protein expression.Results:The survival rates of A549 cells in the miRNA-21 inhibitor group and the combined treatment group were 48.67%±2.83% and 25.69%±1.98%, which were significantly different ( P<0.001) ; The proportion of A549 apoptotic cells in the miRNA-21 inhibitor group and the combined treatment group were 46.73%±2.18% and 76.58%±3.67%, respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.001) ; The expression of Caspase-3 (1.21±0.26 vs 0.57±0.07) and Bad (1.08±0.11 vs 0.52±0.06) in the combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of the miRNA-21 inhibitor group in the detection of apoptosis-related proteins, and the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly reduced, with a significant difference ( P<0.001). In the combined treatment group, the expression levels of TNF-α (0.63±0.11 vs 1.23±0. 22, 1.18±0.17, 1.14±0.17) and NF-κB p65 (0.34±0.08 vs 1.31±0.09, 1.29±0.12, 1.11±0.06) were both reduced, and there was a significant difference compared with the other three groups ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:Infliximab combined with miRNA-21 inhibitors can play a synergistic role in lung cancer cells, inhibit the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway, regulate the expression of the Bcl-2 family and Caspase-3, and promote apoptosis, thereby inhibiting lung cancer A549 cell proliferation.
