To explore the effect and mechanism of the miR-339-3p/KAT6A/TRIM24 axis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression.
CNE2 and 5-8F NPC cell lines were transfected with miR-339-3p-mimic or sh-KAT6A alone or co-transfected with miR-339-3p-mimic and oe-KAT6A. The expression levels of miR-339-3p, KAT6A, TRIM24, and EMT-related proteins were assessed, in addition to cell biological behaviors. Then, the relationship between miR-339-3p and KAT6A was predicted and validated. The correlations between miR-339-3p and KAT6A or between KAT6A and TRIM24 were analyzed by Pearson coefficient and the enrichment of H3K23ac in TRIM24 promoter region was measured by chromatin immunoprecipitation.
miR-339-3p was downregulated, but KAT6A and TRIM24 were highly expressed in NPC cells and tissues. Upregulated miR-339-3p or downregulated KAT6A could inhibit the growth and EMT of NPC cells. Further experiments showed that miR-339-3p regulated NPC cell growth and EMT by mediating KAT6A in a targeted fashion. KAT6A was positively correlated with TRIM24, and the enrichment of H3K23ac was much higher in NPC tissues. miR-339-3p suppressed the growth and EMT of NPC cells by the KAT6A/TRIM24 axis. In a xenograft study, miR-339-3p overexpression inhibited NPC tumor growth in vivo.
Conclusively, miR-339-3p inhibited the growth and EMT of NPC cells via the KAT6A/TRIM24 axis.
探讨 miR-339-3p/KAT6A/TRIM24 轴在鼻咽癌细胞生长和上皮间质转化(EMT)进展中的作用及机制。
单独转染 miR-339-3p 模拟物或 sh-KAT6A 或共转染 miR-339-3p 模拟物和 oe-KAT6A 转染 CNE2 和 5-8F 鼻咽癌细胞系。评估 miR-339-3p、KAT6A、TRIM24 和 EMT 相关蛋白的表达水平以及细胞生物学行为。然后,预测和验证 miR-339-3p 与 KAT6A 之间的关系。通过 Pearson 系数分析 miR-339-3p 与 KAT6A 或 KAT6A 与 TRIM24 之间的相关性,并通过染色质免疫沉淀测量 TRIM24 启动子区域中 H3K23ac 的富集。
miR-339-3p 在 NPC 细胞和组织中表达下调,而 KAT6A 和 TRIM24 表达上调。上调 miR-339-3p 或下调 KAT6A 均可抑制 NPC 细胞的生长和 EMT。进一步的实验表明,miR-339-3p 通过靶向调节 KAT6A 来调节 NPC 细胞的生长和 EMT。KAT6A 与 TRIM24 呈正相关,并且 NPC 组织中 H3K23ac 的富集更高。miR-339-3p 通过 KAT6A/TRIM24 轴抑制 NPC 细胞的生长和 EMT。在异种移植研究中,miR-339-3p 的过表达抑制了 NPC 肿瘤在体内的生长。
综上所述,miR-339-3p 通过 KAT6A/TRIM24 轴抑制 NPC 细胞的生长和 EMT。
