Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has a low five-year survival rate, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. There is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the genetic regulation of NPC tumorigenesis and development. The role of miR-26a-5p in NPC growth regulation and the expression of its target, PTGS2, was analyzed. Quantitative Real-time PCR assay was used to detect miR-26a-5p and PTGS2 expression in human NPC tissues and cell lines. The RNA pull-down dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the association between miR-26a-5p and PTGS2. The effects of miR-26a-5p and PTGS2 on NPC cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion were measured by CCK-8, BrdU, and Transwell assays. miR-26a-5p expression in NPC tissues and cell lines was significantly decreased. The overexpression of miR-26a-5p inhibited the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC cells. miR-26a-5p bound to the 3-'untranslated region of PTGS2, thus reducing PTGS2 protein levels. miR-26a-5p inhibited NPC development by reducing the expression of its target PTGS2.
鼻咽癌(NPC)五年生存率低,其发病机制尚不清楚。迫切需要提高我们对 NPC 肿瘤发生和发展的遗传调控的理解。分析了 miR-26a-5p 在 NPC 生长调节中的作用及其靶基因 PTGS2 的表达。定量实时 PCR 检测人 NPC 组织和细胞系中 miR-26a-5p 和 PTGS2 的表达。RNA 下拉双荧光素酶报告基因检测 miR-26a-5p 与 PTGS2 的相关性。CCK-8、BrdU 和 Transwell 测定 miR-26a-5p 和 PTGS2 对 NPC 细胞活力、增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。miR-26a-5p 在 NPC 组织和细胞系中的表达明显降低。miR-26a-5p 的过表达抑制 NPC 细胞的活力、增殖、迁移和侵袭。miR-26a-5p 通过降低其靶基因 PTGS2 的表达来抑制 NPC 的发展。
