RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the effects of miR-26a on proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of uveal melanoma cell.Methods The expressions level of miR-26a in the uveal melanoma cell lines SP6.5 and M23 and normal cell line ARPE-19 was detected by qRT-PCR.The SP6.5 cell line was divided into miR-26a mimics group (transfect with miR-26a mimics) and NC group (transfect with scramble by Lipofectamine 2000).The proliferation and apoptosis ability were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry.The cell wound scratch assay and transwell assay were used to detect the migration and invasion ability.The expression level of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) protein was measured by Western blot.Results The expressions level of miR-26a in uveal melanoma cell line SP6.5 was 0.250 ± 0.029,M23 was 0.350 ±0.017,which was significantly lower than 1.0 in normal cell line ARPE-19 (all P ＜0.001).The OD450 value at 72 hours,96 hours and 120 hours in miR-26a mimics group (0.69 ±--0.09,1.23 ± 0.15,2.12 ± 0.23) were significantly lower than those in NC group (1.39-0.11,2.35 ±0.25,3.53 ±0.27) (all P ＜0.05).The apoptosis rate of miR-26a mimics group (15.60％ ± 2.30％) was significantly higher than that of NC group (5.00％ ± 0.70％) (P ＜ 0.01).The wound healing rate of miR-26a mimics group (23.7％ ±2.1％) was significantly lower than that of NC group (68.9 ±5.1％) (P ＜0.01).While the invasive cell number (45.1 ± 3.9) was also significantly less than NC group (115.3 ± 8.9) (P ＜ 0.01).The expression level of EZH2 protein in miR-26a mimics group (0.39 ±0.09) was significantly lower than that of NC group (1.0,P ＜0.01).Conclusion MiR-26a is low expressed in uveal melanoma cells.Over expression of miR-26a inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of uveal melanoma cell,and promote the apoptosis,which may be associated with down-regulated expression of EZH2.
