To investigate the effect of microRNA143 on cell proliferation and K-ras expression in colorectal carcinoma.
Northern blot was used to examine the expression of miR-143 in colorectal carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. A miR-143 expression vector was constructed and transfected into a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line SW480. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to examine the expression of K-ras oncogene in transfected cells.
The level of mature miR-143 was lower in tumors compared with adjacent normal tissues in 81% of colorectal carcinoma specimens. In transfected cells, the increased accumulation of miR-143 inhibited the cell proliferation, and resulted in approximately 40.3% decrease of K-ras protein levels, but had no effect on level of K-ras mRNA.
The increased accumulation of miR-143 inhibits the proliferation of transfected cells, and results in down-regulation of K-ras protein in colorectal carcinoma.
研究微小RNA143对结直肠癌细胞增殖及K-ras表达的影响。
采用Northern印迹法检测结直肠癌组织及癌旁正常组织中miR-143的表达。构建miR-143表达载体并转染人结肠腺癌细胞系SW480。采用MTT法评估细胞增殖情况。运用RT-PCR和Western印迹法检测转染细胞中K-ras癌基因的表达。
在81%的结直肠癌标本中,肿瘤组织中成熟miR-143水平低于癌旁正常组织。在转染细胞中,miR-143积累增加抑制了细胞增殖,并导致K-ras蛋白水平下降约40.3%,但对K-ras mRNA水平无影响。
miR-143积累增加抑制了转染细胞的增殖,并导致结直肠癌中K-ras蛋白表达下调。
