Recent studies have established the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer progression. The aberrant expression of miR-335-5p has been reported in many cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). In this study, the precise roles of miR-335-5p in GC as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying its effects, including the role of its target MAPK10, were evaluated.
Quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate miR-335-5p levels in GC cell lines and tissues. MTT and colony formation assays were used to detect cell proliferation, and Transwell and wound-healing assays were used to evaluate the invasion and migration of GC cells. The correlation between levels of miR-335-5p and the cell cycle-related target gene mitogen-activated protein kinase 10 (MAPK10) in GC was analyzed. In addition, the candidate target was evaluated by a luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blotting.
The levels of miR-335-5p were downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, miR-335-5p inhibited the proliferation and migration of GC cells and induced apoptosis. Additionally, miR-335-5p arrested the cell cycle at the G1/S phase in GC cells in vitro. Levels of miR-335-5p and the cell cycle-related target gene MAPK10 in GC were correlated, and MAPK10 was directly targeted by miR-335-5p.
These data suggest that miR-335-5p is a tumor suppressor and acts via MAPK10 to inhibit GC progression.
近期研究已证实微小RNA(miRNA)在癌症进展中的作用。据报道,miR-335-5p在包括胃癌(GC)在内的多种癌症中存在异常表达。在本研究中,评估了miR-335-5p在GC中的具体作用及其作用的分子机制,包括其靶标丝裂原活化蛋白激酶10(MAPK10)的作用。
采用定量实时PCR评估GC细胞系和组织中miR-335-5p的水平。采用MTT和集落形成试验检测细胞增殖,采用Transwell和伤口愈合试验评估GC细胞的侵袭和迁移能力。分析了GC中miR-335-5p水平与细胞周期相关靶基因丝裂原活化蛋白激酶10(MAPK10)之间的相关性。此外,通过荧光素酶报告基因试验、qRT-PCR和蛋白质印迹法对候选靶标进行评估。
GC组织和细胞系中miR-335-5p水平下调。此外,miR-335-5p抑制GC细胞的增殖和迁移并诱导细胞凋亡。另外,miR-335-5p在体外使GC细胞的细胞周期停滞于G1/S期。GC中miR-335-5p水平与细胞周期相关靶基因MAPK10相关,且MAPK10是miR-335-5p的直接靶标。
这些数据表明miR-335-5p是一种肿瘤抑制因子,通过MAPK10发挥作用以抑制GC进展。
