Routine chemotherapy as an important treatment mode often can not be effective because of multidrug resistance (MDR). MicroRNA (miRNA) modulates the expression of a great number of genes, including MDR. In this study, the expression of miR-1284 was reduced in gastric cancer (GC) tissue specimens with metastasis and in vincristine-resistant (VCR) GC SGC7901 cells (SGC-7901/VCR) compared to that in the controls. Recombinant lentiviral vectors with miR-1284 led to the overexpression of miR-1284 mRNA and reversed the chemoresistance of SGC7901/VCR cells, promoted cell cycle arrested at the G0/G1 phase, accelerated drug-induced apoptosis, and decreased migration and invasiveness of SGC-7901/VCR. In addition, the overexpression of miR-1284 sensitized tumors to chemotherapy in vivo. Our data provide combined evidence that miR-1284 can heighten the expression of MYC and reduce the expression of JUN, MMP12, and EIF4A1 that was the direct target. In conclusion, miR-1284 can function as a new regulator to reduce GC MDR cells by targeting EIF4A1.
常规化疗作为一种重要的治疗方式,常常因多药耐药(MDR)而无法发挥有效作用。微小RNA(miRNA)可调节大量基因的表达,包括与多药耐药相关的基因。在本研究中,与对照组相比,miR - 1284在伴有转移的胃癌(GC)组织标本以及长春新碱耐药(VCR)的GC SGC7901细胞(SGC - 7901/VCR)中的表达降低。携带miR - 1284的重组慢病毒载体导致miR - 1284 mRNA过表达,逆转了SGC7901/VCR细胞的化疗耐药性,促使细胞周期停滞在G0/G1期,加速药物诱导的细胞凋亡,并降低SGC - 7901/VCR的迁移和侵袭能力。此外,miR - 1284的过表达使体内肿瘤对化疗敏感。我们的数据综合表明,miR - 1284可上调MYC的表达,并降低直接靶点JUN、MMP12和EIF4A1的表达。总之,miR - 1284可作为一种新的调节因子,通过靶向EIF4A1来降低GC多药耐药细胞。
