We aimed at analyzing the correlation between microRNA-133a-5p expression and clinical pathological parameters in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and exploring the mechanism by which microRNA-133a-5p affects the biological behavior of ccRCC cells.
MicroRNA-133a-5p expression in ccRCC tissues and cell lines were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the relationship between ATG14 expression and clinicopathological parameters of ccRCC patients was analyzed. A control group (NC mimic) and a microRNA-133a-5p overexpression group (microRNA-133a-5p mimic) were set in the ccRCC cell lines ACHN and 786-O, respectively. The impacts of microRNA-133a-5p on the proliferation and invasion of ccRCC cells were evaluated through performing Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell tests, respectively. We further explored the interaction between microRNA-133a-5p and its downstream target gene WNK2 by bioinformatics analysis and Luciferase assay.
Both in ccRCC tissues and cell lines, microRNA-133a-5p showed a significantly reduced expression, which could be used to predict poor prognosis of ccRCC patients. Upregulation of microRNA-133a-5p markedly blunted the proliferation and migratory capacities of HCC cells. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that microRNA-133a-5p can target MON2. In addition, qPCR assay indicated an increased expression of MON2 in ccRCC cell lines and tissues, which was negatively correlated with microRNA-133a-5p. Finally, in vitro cell reverse experiments suggested that overexpression of MON2 counteracted the inhibitory effects of overexpression of microRNA-133a-5p on the proliferation and metastatic capacity of ccRCC.
This study suggests that the reduced expression of microRNA-133a-5p in ccRCC tissue specimens can predict poor prognosis of ccRCC patients. At the same time, microRNA-133a-5p may suppress the proliferation capacity and metastasis of ccRCC cells by acting on MON2.
分析微小 RNA-133a-5p 在透明细胞肾细胞癌(ccRCC)患者中的表达与临床病理参数的相关性,并探讨微小 RNA-133a-5p 影响 ccRCC 细胞生物学行为的机制。
采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测 ccRCC 组织和细胞系中微小 RNA-133a-5p 的表达,并分析 ATG14 表达与 ccRCC 患者临床病理参数的关系。在 ccRCC 细胞系 ACHN 和 786-O 中分别设置对照组(NC 模拟物)和微小 RNA-133a-5p 过表达组(微小 RNA-133a-5p 模拟物)。通过细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)和 Transwell 试验分别评估微小 RNA-133a-5p 对 ccRCC 细胞增殖和侵袭的影响。我们还通过生物信息学分析和荧光素酶测定进一步探讨了微小 RNA-133a-5p 与其下游靶基因 WNK2 之间的相互作用。
微小 RNA-133a-5p 在 ccRCC 组织和细胞系中表达均显著降低,可用于预测 ccRCC 患者的不良预后。微小 RNA-133a-5p 的上调显著减弱了 HCC 细胞的增殖和迁移能力。生物信息学分析表明,微小 RNA-133a-5p 可以靶向 MON2。此外,qPCR 检测表明 ccRCC 细胞系和组织中 MON2 的表达增加,与微小 RNA-133a-5p 呈负相关。最后,体外细胞逆转实验表明,MON2 的过表达抵消了微小 RNA-133a-5p 过表达对 ccRCC 增殖和转移能力的抑制作用。
本研究表明,ccRCC 组织标本中微小 RNA-133a-5p 的表达降低可预测 ccRCC 患者的不良预后。同时,微小 RNA-133a-5p 可能通过作用于 MON2 抑制 ccRCC 细胞的增殖能力和转移。
