To predict and identify the target gene of miR-145, and to explore the underlying mechanism of the inhibition of miR-145 on drug resistance to Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) in human colorectal cancer cells.
L-OHP-resistant human colorectal cancer cell line (HCT116/L-OHP) was established in vitro by exposing to increased concentrations of L-OHP in cell culture medium. MiR-145-mimics and its negative control (NC-miRNA) were transfected into HCT116/L-OHP cells using liposome to establish HCT116/L-OHP over-expressing miR-145 and HCT116/L-OHP. The target genes of miR-145 were predicted by bioinformatic analysis, and validated by dual luciferase activity assay. After determination of G protein coupled receptor 98(GPR98) as target gene, corresponding plasmids were constructed and transfected to establish HCT116/L-OHP over-expressing GPR98 and HCT116/L-OHP. HCT116/L-OHP cells over-expressing both GPR98 and miR-145 (HCT116/L-OHP) were acquired through modification of the binding sites of GPR98 cDNA with miR-145. CCK-8 assay was used to assess the proliferation (A value) and sensitivity to L-OHP (the lower the IC50, the stronger the sensitivity) in HCT116/L-OHP cells. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of miR-145 and GPR98. Western blot was used to examine the protein expression of GPR98 and drug-resistant associated protein, such as P-glycoprotein (gp), multiple drug-resistance protein 1(MRP1), cancer-inhibition gene PTEN.
HCT116/L-OHP cell line was successfully established with IC of (42.34±1.05) mg/L and miR-145 mRNA expression of 0.27±0.04, which was higher than (9.81±0.95) mg/L (t=39.784, P=0.000) and lower than 1.00±0.09 (t=13.021, P=0.000) in HCT116 cells. Based on HCT116/L-OHP cells, HCT116/L-OHP cells were established successfully, with relative miR-145 expression of 10.01±1.05, which was higher than 1.06±0.14 in HCT116/L-OHP and 1.00±0.16 in HCT116/L-OHP (F=161.797, P=0.000). GPR98 was identified to be the target gene of miR-145. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of GPR98 in HCT116/L-OHP cells were 8.48±0.46 and 1.71±0.09, respectively, which were higher than those in HCT116/L-OHP (mRNA: 3.65±0.40, protein: 1.21±0.10) and HCT116/L-OHP (mRNA: 3.49±0.35, protein: 1.22±0.08; all P<0.05). The A value was 1.31±0.10, and the relative protein expressions of P-gp and MRP1 were 1.53±0.18 and 1.49±0.20 in HCT116/L-OHP cells, which were higher than those in HCT116/L-OHP (A value: 0.82±0.08, relative protein expression: 1.00±0.06 and 1.21±0.13, all P<0.05). The A value was 0.89±0.08, and the relative protein expressions of P-gp and MRP were 1.02±0.24 and 1.38±0.25 in HCT116/L-OHP cells, which were higher than those in HCT116/L-OHP(A value: 0.20±0.05, relative protein expression: 0.20±0.07, 0.55±0.10, all P<0.05). The relative protein expression of PTEN in HCT116/L-OHP cells was 0.12±0.03, which was lower than 1.25±0.14 in HCT116/L-OHP cells(P<0.05). In addition, relative protein expressions of P-gp and MRP1 were 1.02±0.24 and 1.38±0.25 in HCT116/L-OHP cells, which were higher than those in HCT116/L-OHP cells (0.20±0.07 and 0.55±0.10), while PTEN expression in HCT116/L-OHP cells was lower as compared to HCT116/L-OHP cells (1.41±0.16 vs. 1.98±0.13, P<0.05).
