ABSTRACT
@#Objective: To explore the effects of miR-149-3p on the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of cervical cancer HeLa cells and the possible mechanisms. Methods: HeLa cells were randomly divided into five groups, including untransfected (HeLa) group, mimic-scramble group (the negative control of miR-149 mimic), miR-149 mimic group, FOXP3 over-expression (pc-FOXP3) group, and co-transfection (mimic+pc-FOXP3) group. The targeted relationship of miR-149-3p and FOXP3 was verified by luciferase assay. The expressions of miR-149-3p and FOXP3 mRNA were tested by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The protein levels of FOXP3 were measured by Western blotting. The proliferation was detected by CCK-8; the apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry, the cell invasion was measured by transwell invasion assay and cell migration was detected by scratch assay. Results: The luciferase assay showed that miR-149-3p could target combine with FOXP3. Compared with untransfected group, the expression of miR-149-3p was increased while mRNA level of FOXP3 was decreased in miR-149 mimic group (all P<0.01). Moreover, the protein level of FOXP3 in miR-149 mimic group was lower than that in untransfected group (P<0.01), while the protein level of FOXP3 in pcFOXP3 group was higher than that in untransfected group (P<0.01); Compared with pc-FOXP3 group, the protein levels of FOXP3 in mimic+pc-FOXP3 group were reduced (P<0.01). The proliferation in miR-149 mimic group was lower than that in untransfected group (P<0.01), while the proliferation in pc-FOXP3 was higher than that in untransfected group (P<0.01); compared with pc-FOXP3 group, the proliferation in mimic+pc-FOXP3 group was decreased (P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of HeLa cells in miR-149 mimic group was higher than that in untransfected group (P<0.01), while the apoptosis rate in pc-FOXP3 was lower than that in untransfected group (P< 0.01); compared with pc-FOXP3 group, the apoptosis in mimic+pc-FOXP3 group was elevated (P<0.01). The number of invasive cells per field and wound healing rate in miR-149 mimic group was lower than those in untransfeccted group (P<0.01) while the invasive cells and wound healing rate in pc-FOXP3 group was higher than those in untransfeceted group (P<0.01); compared with pc-FOXP3 group, the number of invasive cells per field and wound healing rate in mimic+pc-FOXP3 group was reduced (P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-149-3p inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration and promotes apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells via targeting FOXP3.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To provide the experimental basis for the coherence of the indirect bond position by comparing the position of the bracket on the digital occlusal model and the position of the transfer to the initial plaster model.@*Methods@#Fifteen digitized models were selected for the brackets on the dental denture model, the brackets were transferred to the initial plaster model by indirect bond transfer trays, The line distance between each bracket position in digital dental model and initial plaster model was measured with OrthoRx software. @*Results @#The difference between the position of the orthodontic brackets and the position of the initial plaster model was less than 0.20 mm, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). @*Conclusion @#The position of the bracket on the digital occlusal model is consistent with that of the original plaster model, which provides a theoretical basis for digital indirect bonding.
