To uncover the biological role of microRNA-200a-3p (miRNA-200a-3p) in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the underlying mechanism.
The expression levels of miRNA-200a-3p and IRS2 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines were examined through quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The correlation between the miRNA-200a-3p level and pathological characteristics of NSCLC patients was analyzed. The prognostic value of miRNA-200a-3p in NSCLC was assessed through the Kaplan-Meier method. The potential interaction between miRNA-200a-3p and IRS2 was explored through Dual-Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay and Spearman correlation test. The regulatory effects of miRNA-200a-3p/IRS2 on the proliferative, migratory, and invasive abilities of NSCLC were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and the transwell assay. The protein levels of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes in NSCLC cells influenced by miRNA-200a-3p were detected by Western blot.
MiRNA-200a-3p was downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The expression level of miRNA-200a-3p was related to tumor size, TNM staging, and lymphatic metastasis of NSCLC. The low level of miRNA-200a-3p predicted worse prognosis in NSCLC patients. The overexpression of miRNA-200a-3p inhibited A549 cells from proliferating, migrating, and invading. The protein levels of E-cadherin were upregulated, while N-cadherin and Vimentin were downregulated in A549 cells overexpressing miRNA-200a-3p. The Dual-Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay verified the binding between miRNA-200a-3p and IRS2. The level of IRS2 was negatively regulated by miRNA-200a-3p. Moreover, the overexpression of IRS2 could reverse the regulatory role of miRNA-200a-3p in the cellular behaviors of A549 cells.
MiRNA-200a-3p suppresses the proliferative, migratory, and invasive abilities of NSCLC by targeting IRS2, thus alleviating the progression of NSCLC.

采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测 NSCLC 组织和细胞系中 miRNA-200a-3p 和 IRS2 的表达水平。分析 miRNA-200a-3p 水平与 NSCLC 患者病理特征的相关性。采用 Kaplan-Meier 法评估 miRNA-200a-3p 在 NSCLC 中的预后价值。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测和 Spearman 相关分析探讨 miRNA-200a-3p 与 IRS2 之间的潜在相互作用。采用细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)和 Transwell 实验评估 miRNA-200a-3p/IRS2 对 NSCLC 增殖、迁移和侵袭能力的调控作用。采用 Western blot 检测 miRNA-200a-3p 对 NSCLC 细胞上皮间质转化(EMT)相关基因蛋白水平的影响。
miRNA-200a-3p 在 NSCLC 组织和细胞系中表达下调。miRNA-200a-3p 的表达水平与 NSCLC 的肿瘤大小、TNM 分期和淋巴转移有关。miRNA-200a-3p 低表达预示 NSCLC 患者预后不良。过表达 miRNA-200a-3p 可抑制 A549 细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭。过表达 miRNA-200a-3p 可上调 A549 细胞中 E-钙黏蛋白的表达,下调 N-钙黏蛋白和波形蛋白的表达。双荧光素酶报告基因检测证实了 miRNA-200a-3p 与 IRS2 之间的结合。IRS2 的水平受 miRNA-200a-3p 的负调控。此外,过表达 IRS2 可逆转 miRNA-200a-3p 对 A549 细胞细胞行为的调节作用。
miRNA-200a-3p 通过靶向 IRS2 抑制 NSCLC 的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力,从而缓解 NSCLC 的进展。
