[Study on the expression of non-coding microRNA-376b-3p in serum exosomes of patients with malignant glioma and the mechanism of anti-angiogenesis].

To screen the different microRNAs in the serum exosomes of patients with malignant glioma, to explore the effect of non-coding microRNA-376b-3p (miR-376b-3p) on the proliferation, invasion and tumor vasculogenic mimicry of glioma cells, and to verify its targeting effect on HOXD10. HiSeq/MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was used to screen the different microRNA expression profiles, target genes and action pathways in the serum exosomes of patients with malignant glioma. Samples were used to evaluate the expression of candidate microRNAs in serum exosomes of high-grade gliomas. The effects of miR-376b-3p on the proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis of glioma cells were detected by MTT assay, Transwell migration assay and Matrigel vasculogenic mimicry assay. The mRNA and protein expression of HOXD10 were detected to evaluate the regulatory effect of miR-376b-3p on it. There were 144 different expression microRNAs in the serum exosomes between malignant glioma and the normal control. Focal adhesion and tumor protein polysaccharides were involved in the regulation of glioma enriched by KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes). MiR-376b-3p was down regulated in malignant glioma, and AUC of malignant glioma was 0.85 (0.01). MTT test showed that the proliferation ability of miR-376b-3p inhibitor group was higher than that of the control group, and that of miR-376b-3p mimic group was lower than that of the control group. Transwell migration test showed that the number of transmembrane cells in miR-376b-3p inhibitor group was higher than that in NC inhibitor group, and the number of transmembrane cells in miR-376b-3p mimic group was lower than that in NC mimic group. The number of tubes of vasculogenic mimicry in miR-376b-3p mimic group was lower than that in NC mimic group. MiR-376b-3p inhibitor decreased the expression level of HOXD10 mRNA and protein, and miR-376b-3p mimic increased the expression level of HOXD10 mRNA and protein. MiR-376b-3p is down-regulated in the serum exosomes of malignant glioma patients. The up-regulated miR-376b-3p can reduce the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, inhibit the formation of vasculogenic mimicry, and increase the expression of HOXD10, which is expected to inhibit the formation of two forms of angiogenesis at the same time. MiR-376b-3p may be a new therapeutic target of anti-angiogenesis for malignant glioma.
