To investigate the mechanism of LINC00518 affecting the proliferation, invasion, and migration of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) cells via miR-526b-3p/EIF5A2 axis.
qRT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of LINC00518, miR-526b-3p, and EIF5A2 in CMM tissues from 40 patients. Si-LINC00518, pcDNA-LINC00518, miR-526b-3p mimic, miR-526b-3p inhibitor, si-EIF5A2, and their corresponding negative controls were transfected alone or co-transfected into CMM cells A375 and A2058. The expression of LINC00518, miR-526b-3p and EIF5A2 in A375 and A2058 cells was measured. Cell proliferation was tested by CCK-8 assay and EdU assay. Cell invasion and migration were detected by Transwell and scratch tests, respectively. The binding between LINC00518 and miR-526b-3p, and the binding between miR-526b-3p and EIF5A2 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays.
LINC00518 and EIF5A2 were up-regulated and miR-526b-3p was down-regulated in CMM tissues and cells. CMM patients with highly expressed LINC00518 showed decreased survival time than those with lowly expressed LINC00518. Transfection of si-LINC00518, miR-526b-5p mimic or si-EIF5A2 weakened the proliferative, migratory, and invasive abilities of melanoma cells, while transfection of miR-526b-5p inhibitor or pcDNA-LINC00518 enhanced the progression of melanoma cells. Moreover, the proliferative, migratory, and invasive potentials of melanoma cells were decreased after co-transfection of si-EIF5A2 and pcDNA-LINC00518 compared with cells transfected with pcDNA-LINC00518 alone. LINC00518 bound to miR-526b-3p and miR-526b-3p targeted EIF5A2. LINC00518 negatively regulated miR-526b-3p expression but positively regulated EIF5A2. Furthermore, EIF5A2 expression was negatively associated with miR-526b-3p expression.
LINC00518 encourages CMM through the miR-526b-3p/EIF5A2 axis in terms of cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.
通过 miR-526b-3p/EIF5A2 轴研究 LINC00518 影响皮肤恶性黑色素瘤(CMM)细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移的机制。
采用 qRT-PCR 法检测 40 例 CMM 组织中 LINC00518、miR-526b-3p 和 EIF5A2 的表达。单独转染或共转染 A375 和 A2058 细胞 Si-LINC00518、pcDNA-LINC00518、miR-526b-3p 模拟物、miR-526b-3p 抑制剂、si-EIF5A2 及其相应的阴性对照。检测 A375 和 A2058 细胞中 LINC00518、miR-526b-3p 和 EIF5A2 的表达。通过 CCK-8 检测和 EdU 检测测定细胞增殖。通过 Transwell 和划痕试验分别检测细胞侵袭和迁移。通过双荧光素酶报告和 RNA 下拉实验验证 LINC00518 与 miR-526b-3p 之间以及 miR-526b-3p 与 EIF5A2 之间的结合。
LINC00518 和 EIF5A2 在 CMM 组织和细胞中上调,而 miR-526b-3p 下调。LINC00518 高表达的 CMM 患者的生存时间短于 LINC00518 低表达的患者。转染 si-LINC00518、miR-526b-5p 模拟物或 si-EIF5A2 减弱了黑素瘤细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力,而转染 miR-526b-5p 抑制剂或 pcDNA-LINC00518 增强了黑素瘤细胞的进展。此外,与单独转染 pcDNA-LINC00518 的细胞相比,共转染 si-EIF5A2 和 pcDNA-LINC00518 后黑素瘤细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭潜能降低。LINC00518 与 miR-526b-3p 结合,miR-526b-3p 靶向 EIF5A2。LINC00518 负调控 miR-526b-3p 的表达,但正调控 EIF5A2 的表达。此外,EIF5A2 的表达与 miR-526b-3p 的表达呈负相关。
LINC00518 通过 miR-526b-3p/EIF5A2 轴促进 CMM 细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移。
