摘要
目的 研究microRNA-214(miR-214)在晚期下咽鳞状细胞癌(鳞癌)组织中的表达情况,及其对下咽癌FaDu细胞系侵袭、迁移、克隆形成能力的影响,并分析其可能机制.方法 利用qRT-PCR技术检测30例晚期下咽鳞癌患者肿瘤组织及正常黏膜组织中miR-214的表达;通过转染过表达载体hsa-mir-214上调FaDu细胞中miR-214的表达;采用Transwell侵袭、迁移实验和平板克隆实验,分别检测miR-214表达上调后对FaDu细胞侵袭、迁移及克隆形成能力的影响;利用Western blot检测上调miR-214表达对Twist蛋白表达的影响.结果 miR-214在晚期下咽鳞癌组织中相对表达((x)±s)为(0.311±0.206)明显低于下咽正常黏膜组织中的相对表达为(1.620±1.394),差异有统计学意义(=5.09,P<0.05).实验组FaDu细胞转染hsa-mir-214后,miR-214的表达较阴性对照组明显上调(t=6.347,P<0.05).Transwell迁移和侵袭实验显示,实验组FaDu细胞迁移能力及侵袭能力均明显低于对照组(t=11.6,P<0.01;t=6.499,P<0.05).平板克隆实验显示,实验组与对照组相比,平均克隆形成数及克隆形成率差异均无统计学意义(t=0.592,P>0.05),miR-214对FaDu细胞增殖能力无明显影响.Western blot结果显示,miR-214上调后的实验组细胞Twist蛋白的表达明显低于对照组细胞中的表达(t=6.545,P<0.05).结论 miR-214在晚期下咽鳞癌组织中低表达,且可明显抑制FaDu细胞的侵袭、迁移能力,其作用机制可能与抑制Twist蛋白表达有关.miR-214对FaDu细胞增殖能力无明显影响.
Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-214 (miR-214) in advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and its effects on the invasion,migration and colone formation of FaDu cells.Methods miR-214 expression in 30 cases of advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and normal hypopharyngeal mucosa tissues was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).miR-214 was upregulated through transfecting the overexpression vector hsa-mir-214 into FaDu cells.The influences of miR-214 upregulation on the invasion,migration,clone formation and Twist expression were measured by Transwell invasion,Transwell migration,plate clone formation and Western blot assays,respectively.Results The expression of miR-214 in advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues (0.31 1 ±0.206) was significantly less than normal hypopharyngeal mucosa tissues(1.620 ± 1.394;t =5.09,P < 0.05).The expression of miR-214 was notably upregulated after tranfected with hsa-mir-214 compared with the negative control group (t =6.347,P < 0.05).The migration and invasion ability of FaDu cells transfeced with hsa-mir-214 was decreased by comparison with negative control cells (t =1 1.6,P <0.01; t =6.499,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference of the average clony number and the cloning efficiency between the experimental and negative control groups (t =0.592,P > 0.05).Results of Western blot assay showed that,Twist expression in the miR-214-overexpressed group was apparently decreased compared with that in the control group (t =6.545,P < 0.05).Conclusions miR-214 is expressed at a low level in advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues,and can obviously inhibit the invasion and migration abilities of FaDu cells,possibly because of its inhibiting effect on Twist expression.Additionally,miR-214 plays no significant role in the proliferation of FaDu cells.
