We aimed at investigating the expression levels of SET7/9 in glioma and the relationship between SET7/9 and LncRNA DRAIC. Further, we explored the relationship between SET7/9 and glioma cell metastasis and mood.
The expression levels of DRAIC and miR-18a-3p in gastric cancer cells were measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The binding site of the promoter of DRAIC by H3K4me3 was confirmed by ChIP-Real-time PCR. The direct target of DRAIC and miR-18a-3p in gastric cancer cells was measured by a Luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation was detected by Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), and cell invasion and migration were measured by transwell assays.
Compared with adjacent non-cancerous normal tissues, SET7/9 and DRAIC were both downregulated and miR-18a-3p was upregulated in glioma cells. Meanwhile, silencing of SET7/9 enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in U251 cells. H3K4me3 protein can bind to DRAIC promoter directly. Inhibition of SET7/9 and downregulation of DRAIC in U251 cells reversed the effect of SET7/9 silencing on the growth and metastasis of glioma cells. In U251 cells, SET7/9 and DRAIC overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, miR-18a-3p interacts with DRAIC through direct binding. The inhibition of DRAIC promoted the growth and metastasis of U251 cells, while the co-transfection of si- DRAIC and miR-18a-3p further promoted the growth and metastasis of U251 cells. Overexpression of DRAIC inhibited the growth and metastasis of cells, completely reversing the co-transfection of Lnc-DRAIC and miR-18a-3p.
In this research, we discovered that the expression of SET7/9 was low in glioma cells and SET7/9-mediated H3K4me3 enrichment on the DRAIC promoter regulated the growth and metastasis of glioma cells by targeting miR-18a-3p. It potentially provides a new therapeutic marker targeting glioma.
我们旨在研究 SET7/9 在神经胶质瘤中的表达水平,以及 SET7/9 与长链非编码 RNA DRAIC 之间的关系。此外,我们还探讨了 SET7/9 与神经胶质瘤细胞转移和情绪之间的关系。
通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)测量胃癌细胞中 DRAIC 和 miR-18a-3p 的表达水平。通过 ChIP-Real-time PCR 证实 DRAIC 启动子上 H3K4me3 的结合位点。通过荧光素酶报告基因测定测量胃癌细胞中 DRAIC 和 miR-18a-3p 的直接靶标。通过细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK8)检测细胞增殖,通过 Transwell 测定测量细胞侵袭和迁移。
与相邻的非癌性正常组织相比,SET7/9 和 DRAIC 在神经胶质瘤细胞中均下调,而 miR-18a-3p 上调。同时,沉默 SET7/9 增强了 U251 细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。H3K4me3 蛋白可直接结合 DRAIC 启动子。在 U251 细胞中,抑制 SET7/9 和下调 DRAIC 逆转了 SET7/9 沉默对神经胶质瘤细胞生长和转移的影响。在 U251 细胞中,SET7/9 和 DRAIC 的过表达抑制细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭。此外,miR-18a-3p 通过直接结合与 DRAIC 相互作用。抑制 DRAIC 促进了 U251 细胞的生长和转移,而共转染 si-DRAIC 和 miR-18a-3p 进一步促进了 U251 细胞的生长和转移。DRAIC 的过表达抑制了细胞的生长和转移,完全逆转了 Lnc-DRAIC 和 miR-18a-3p 的共转染。
在这项研究中,我们发现 SET7/9 在神经胶质瘤细胞中的表达较低,SET7/9 介导的 DRAIC 启动子上的 H3K4me3 富集通过靶向 miR-18a-3p 调节神经胶质瘤细胞的生长和转移。它可能为神经胶质瘤的治疗提供了一个新的靶点。
