摘要
目的通过检测microRNA-21(miR-21)及其靶基因程序性细胞死亡因子4(programmedcelldeath4,PDCj)4)基因在结肠癌细胞中对下游通路的调控,研究高表达的miR-21在结肠癌细胞中对5-氟尿嘧啶(5-fuorouracil,5-FU)耐药的可能机制。方法MTT法检测5-FU处理后miR-21敲除或PDCD4高表达对RKO细胞存活率的影响;流式细胞术检测5-FU处理后RKO-敲除型与RKO-野生型细胞凋亡;定量PCR检测miR-21敲除后以及PDCD4高表达后RKO细胞中ABCC5及CD44mRNA水平的变化。结果5-FU对RKO-野生型的半抑制浓度(IC50)值(52.28±0.05)μmol/L比RKO-敲除型的ICso值(32.13±0.05)μmol/L高67%,同时miR-21敲除后细胞凋亡率显著增加;PDCD4在RKO-敲除型细胞中显著高表达,并且高表达的PDCD4能够负调控转运蛋白ABCC5及干细胞表面标记CD44。结论miR-21很可能通过抑制靶基因PDCD4调控转运蛋白ABCC5及干细胞表面标记CD44的表达,从而增强RKO细胞对5-FU的耐药性。
Objective To explore downstream regulatory pathway of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in colon cancer cells (RKO) through detecting miR-21 and its target PDCD4, and the influence of miR-21 regulation on the sensitivity of RKO cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Methods 3-[-4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to determine the effect of 5-FU on the viability of RKO cells with knockout of miR-21 or high expression of PDCD4. Real-time was used to determine the expression of PDCD4, ABCC5 and CD44 in RKO cell after knockout of miR-21. Results MTT assay reveals that the ICs0 of 5-FU in RKO-WT cells [(52.82±0.06) μmol/L] was^67% higher than in miR-21 knockout cells F(32. 23±0. 05) μmol/L] (P〈0.05), and the apoptosis ratio elevated after knockout of miR-21. High expression of PDCD4, a target gene of miR-21, can negatively regulate the expression of ABC transporter ABCC5 and the stem cell marker CD44. Conclusion MiR-21 can mediate the drug resistance to 5-FU by inhibiting its target PDCD4, which can regulate the expression of ABCC5 and CD44 genes.
