Abstract:
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miRNA-370(miR-370)on the expression of tumor suppressor gene p21 in renal cell carcinoma cell lines ACHN and 786-O and its effect on cell growth. Methods RCC cells were transfected with dsRNA known lack homology to human genes (control group) and miR-370 (experimental group) by Lipofectamine 3000 respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polynucleotide chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of p21 mRNA and protein. The cell cycle distribution was identified by flow cytometry (FCM). Cell viability and proliferation ability were measured by cell viability assay (MTS) and colony culture assay. Results The expression of p21 mRNA in ACTN and 786-O cells in control group was 1.04±0.33, 1.04±0.31, respectively. The expression of p21 mRNA in experimental group was significantly increased by 3.68±0.62 (t=7.535, P<0.001), 3.15±0.29 (t=9.975, P<0.001). Western blot further demonstrated that the increased expression of p21 protein in both renal cell lines was consistent with the upregulation of p21 mRNA level. FCM results showed that the cell cycle of more cells was blocked in G0-G1phase after transfection of miR-370.MTS results showed that after transfection of miR-370,the number of colonies formed by ACHN and 786-O cells in the control group was 113±30 and 106±27 respectively. The number of colonies formed by experimental group was significantly reduced by 53±17 (t=2.982, P=0.041) and 50±16 (t=3.089, P=0.037). Conclusion miR-370 can significantly up-regulate the expression of tumor suppressor gene p21 in renal cell carcinoma and inhibit the growth of renal cell carcinoma.
