OBJECTIVES

To investigate the effects of cytotoxin-associated gene A- (CagA-) positive on proliferation, invasion, autophagy, and expression of miR-125b-5p in colon cancer cells.

METHODS

Colon cancer cells were cocultured with (CagA+) to analyze the effects of on miR-125b-5p and autophagy. Colon cancer cells infected with (CagA+) were mimicked by transfection of CagA plasmid. The effects of CagA on the proliferation, invasion, and autophagy of colon cancer cells were analyzed. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), clone formation, and Transwell assays were used to detect cell viability, proliferation, and invasion ability, respectively. Proteins and miRNAs were detected by western blotting and qPCR, respectively.

RESULTS

(CagA+) inhibited expression of miR-125b-5p and promoted autophagy in colon cancer cells. MiR-125 b-5p was underexpressed in colon cancer cells after CagA overexpression. CagA promoted colon cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and autophagy. Overexpression of miR-125b-5p inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and autophagy of colon cancer cells and reversed the effects of CagA.

CONCLUSION

(CagA+) infection may promote the development and invasion of colon cancer by inhibiting miR-125b-5p.

目的

探讨细胞毒素相关基因A（CagA）阳性对结肠癌细胞增殖、侵袭、自噬及miR-125b-5p表达的影响。

方法

将结肠癌细胞与CagA阳性菌株共培养，分析其对miR-125b-5p和自噬的影响。通过转染CagA质粒模拟感染CagA阳性的结肠癌细胞。分析CagA对结肠癌细胞增殖、侵袭和自噬的影响。分别采用细胞计数试剂盒-8（CCK-8）、克隆形成实验和Transwell实验检测细胞活力、增殖和侵袭能力。分别通过蛋白质印迹法和qPCR检测蛋白质和微小RNA。
