Résumé
Recent studies have shown that miR-338-3p plays an important role in the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer, but whether miR-338-3p regulates lung cancer proliferation and invasion through targeting ring finger protein 121 (RNF121) is still unclear. In order to explore its mechanism, the normal lung cell line MRC-5 and the non-small cell lung cancer line A549 were cultured in vitro. Using qRTPCR and Western blotting detection, we found that the expression of miR-338-3p in A549 lung cancer cells was lower than that in MRC-5 cells, while RNF121 expression increased (P0. 05). In summary, miR-338-3p can target the expression of RNF121 to inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A549 cells and inhibit the growth of subcutaneous transplanted tumors in nude mice. RNF121 is expected to become a new target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
