摘要
目的观察微小RNA-218(miR-218)对大鼠主动脉平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)表型转化、增殖及迁移的作用,探讨miR-218影响VSMCs生物学行为的机制。方法20%胎牛血清(FBS)培养大鼠VSMCs,将miR-218模拟物、miR-218抑制剂及阴性对照转染VSMCs。检测miR-218和表型蛋白α-肌动蛋白(α-actin)、调宁蛋白1(Calponin-1)的含量变化。10%FBS培养条件下,检测miR-218组和miR-nc组的细胞增殖和迁移能力变化,并与miR-218抑制剂组比较。结果20%FBS培养VSMCs3d和7d,miR-218表达量均下调超过90%(P〈0.01),α-actin和Calponin-1表达亦显著下调;与miR-nc组比较,miR-218组α-actin和Calponin-1的表达无明显下调。10%FBS培养VSMCs2-3d,miR-218组VSMCs的增殖力和迁移力均下调28%(P〈0.05);而miR-218抑制剂组VSMCs的增殖力上调20%(P〈0.05)、迁移力上调53%(P〈0.01)。10%FBS培养VSMCs48~96h,miR-218组中miR-218潜在靶基因周期蛋白依赖性激酶6(CDK6)的表达明显下调。结论miR-218表达上调可抑制大鼠VSMCs的表型转化、增殖和迁移,其作用可能是通过靶向CDK6来实现的。
Objective To observe microRNA (miR)-218 regulation in phenotype transformation, proliferation and migration of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and explore the mechanism of miR-218 affecting the biological behaviors of VSMCs. Methods Rat aortic VSMCs were cultured in 20% fatal bovine serun(FBS), and transfected with miR-218 mimics, miR-218 inhibitor and miR-nc for negative control. The expression of miR-218 and α-actin and Calponin-1 in VSMCs was detected. In VSMCs cultured in 10% FBS, VSMCs proliferation and migration in both miR-218 mimics and miR-nc groups were evaluated, and results were compared to miR-218 inhibitor group. Results In VSMCs cultured in 20% FBS for 3 days and 7 days, the expression levels of miR-218 were down-regulated more than 90% (P 〈 0. 01 ) , and those of α-actin and Calponin-1 were down-regulated significantly simultaneously. There was no significant down-regulation of α-actin and Calponin-1 in miR-218 mimics group as compared with miR-nc group. In VSMCs cultured in by 10% FBS for 2-3 days, cell proliferation and migration were significantly inhibited by 28% in miR-218 mimics group (P 〈 0. 05 ), and they were significantly enhanced by 20% (P 〈 0. 05 ) and 53 % (P 〈 0. 01 ) in miR-218 inhibitor group respectively. In VSMCs cultured in 10% FBS 2-4 days, the expression of cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) , the potential target gene of miR-218, was significantly down-regulated in miR-218 mimics group. Conclusion Our results suggest that up-regulation of miR-218 inhibits phenotype transformation, proliferation and migration of rat VSMCs, which may be achieved partly through targeting the CDK6 expression.
