To explore the inhibitory effects of silencing long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) HIF1A-AS2 on epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor stem cell-like phenotype in cervical cancer cells.
We designed 3 shRNA constructs for silencing HIF1A-AS2 in CaSki cells, and the shRNA with the strongest interference effect was selected for subsequent experiment. CaSki cells were transfected with shRNA-NC or Sh-HIF1A-AS2, and the changes in cell viability, invasion ability, EMT, expressions of EMT-related proteins, formation of cell spheres and expressions of stem cell markers were detected.
Transfection with shRNA-NC and Sh-HIF1A-AS2 did not significantly affected the viability of CaSki cells ( > 0.05). Compared with the cells transfected with shRNA-NC, the cells transfected with Sh- HIF1A-AS2 showed significantly reduced invasion ability, expressions of vimentin N-cadherin, and cell sphere formation ability. HIF1A-AS2 silencing obviously lowered the rate of ABCG2-positive cells, significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of Nanog, OCT4, and SOX2, and strongly enhanced the expression of E-cadherin in CaSki cells ( < 0.05).
Silencing HIF1A-AS2 can inhibit proliferation, invasion and migration of cervical cancer cells .
探讨沉默长链非编码RNA(LncRNA)HIF1A-AS2对宫颈癌细胞上皮间质转化(EMT)和肿瘤干细胞样表型的抑制作用。
我们设计了3种用于沉默CaSki细胞中HIF1A-AS2的短发夹RNA(shRNA)构建体,并选择干扰效果最强的shRNA进行后续实验。用shRNA-NC或Sh-HIF1A-AS2转染CaSki细胞,检测细胞活力、侵袭能力、EMT、EMT相关蛋白表达、细胞球形成及干细胞标志物表达的变化。
shRNA-NC和Sh-HIF1A-AS2转染对CaSki细胞活力无显著影响(>0.05)。与转染shRNA-NC的细胞相比,转染Sh-HIF1A-AS2的细胞侵袭能力、波形蛋白和N-钙黏蛋白表达及细胞球形成能力显著降低。HIF1A-AS2沉默明显降低了ABCG2阳性细胞率,显著降低了CaSki细胞中Nanog、OCT4和SOX2的mRNA和蛋白表达,并强烈增强了E-钙黏蛋白的表达(<0.05)。
沉默HIF1A-AS2可抑制宫颈癌细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移。
