The aim of this study is to elucidate whether and how miR-107 participates in the modulation of paclitaxel sensitivity in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By qRT-PCR, we found that miR-107 is significantly down-regulated in paclitaxel-resistant A549/Taxol cells compared with corresponding paclitaxel-sensitive counterparts. Overexpression of miR-107 suppresses paclitaxel resistance of A549/Taxol cells through directly inhibiting Bcl-w. Overexpression of miR-107 promotes apoptosis and inhibits proliferation and mobility of A549/Taxol cells under treatment with paclitaxel . Moreover, miR-107 inhibits paclitaxel resistance in xenograft model. MiR-107/Bcl-w axis regulates paclitaxel chemoresistance through PI3K-Akt pathway. Our results suggest that up-regulation of miR-107 resensitizes paclitaxel-resistant NSCLC cells by targeting Bcl-w, which reveals a potential mechanism of miR-107 in reversing drug resistance.
本研究旨在阐明miR-107是否以及如何参与非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中紫杉醇敏感性的调节。通过qRT-PCR,我们发现与相应的紫杉醇敏感细胞相比,miR-107在紫杉醇耐药的A549/Taxol细胞中显著下调。miR-107的过表达通过直接抑制Bcl-w来抑制A549/Taxol细胞的紫杉醇耐药性。miR-107的过表达促进了紫杉醇处理下A549/Taxol细胞的凋亡,抑制了其增殖和迁移。此外,miR-107在异种移植模型中抑制紫杉醇耐药性。miR-107/Bcl-w轴通过PI3K-Akt途径调节紫杉醇化疗耐药性。我们的结果表明,miR-107的上调通过靶向Bcl-w使紫杉醇耐药的NSCLC细胞重新敏感,这揭示了miR-107在逆转耐药性中的潜在机制。
