To explore the regulatory mechanism of nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) in the pathogenesis of posterior capsule opacification (PCO).
Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was executed to analyze NEAT1 and microRNA (miR)-26a-5p expression in transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-β2)-disposed lens epithelial cells (LECs). The proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and migration of TGF-β2-disposed LECs were evaluated. The relationship between NEAT1 or fanconi anemia (FA) complementation group E (FANCE) and miR-26a-5p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.
TGF-β2 induced NEAT1 expression in LECs. NEAT1 inhibition accelerated apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, decreased proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and migration of TGF-β2-disposed LECs. NEAT1 sponged miR-26a-5p to further regulate FANCE expression. Rescue experiments presented that miR-26a-5p downregulation overturned NEAT1 silencing-mediated impacts on TGF-β2-disposed LEC biological behaviors. Additionally, FANCE overexpression reversed miR-26a-5p mimic-mediated impacts on TGF-β2-disposed LEC biological behaviors.
TGF-β2-induced NEAT1 facilitates LEC proliferation, migration, and EMT by upregulating FANCE sequestering miR-26a-5p.
探讨核副斑点组装转录本1(NEAT1)在后囊膜混浊(PCO)发病机制中的调控机制。
采用定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)分析转化生长因子-β2(TGF-β2)处理的晶状体上皮细胞(LECs)中NEAT1和微小RNA(miR)-26a-5p的表达。评估TGF-β2处理的LECs的增殖、细胞周期进程、凋亡和迁移。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测验证NEAT1或范可尼贫血(FA)互补组E(FANCE)与miR-26a-5p之间的关系。
TGF-β2诱导LECs中NEAT1表达。抑制NEAT1可加速TGF-β2处理的LECs的凋亡、细胞周期停滞,降低其增殖、上皮-间质转化(EMT)和迁移。NEAT1通过吸附miR-26a-5p进一步调节FANCE表达。挽救实验表明,下调miR-26a-5p可逆转NEAT1沉默介导的对TGF-β2处理的LECs生物学行为的影响。此外,过表达FANCE可逆转miR-26a-5p模拟物介导的对TGF-β2处理的LECs生物学行为的影响。
TGF-β2诱导的NEAT1通过上调FANCE并隔离miR-26a-5p促进LECs的增殖、迁移和EMT。
