RESUMO
@# Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-195-5p targeting FGF2 to inhibit the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of endometrial cancer HEC-1B cells. Methods: After culture and transfection, HEC-1B cells were divided into 4 groups: HEC-1B group, miR-195-5p mimic group, pLV-FGF2 group and miR-195-5p+FGF2 group. The expressions of miR-195-5p and mRNA levels of FGF2 were detected by qRT-PCR. The targeted relationship of miR-195-5p and FGF2 was verified by luciferase assay. The protein expression of FGF2 was examined by Western blotting; Proliferation of HEC-1B cells was measured by CCK-8; Apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry; HEC-1B cell invasion was detected by transwell, and migration was measured by scratch assay. Results: Compared with HEC-1B group, the expression of miR-195-5p in miR-195-5p mimic group was elevated while FGF2 mRNA level was declined (all P<0.01). Luciferase assay indicated that FGF2 was a target of miR-195-5p. Compared with HEC-1B group, the protein level of FGF2 in miR-195-5p mimic group was decreased, and the protein levels of FGF2 in pLV-FGF2 group were enhanced (P<0.01). The protein levels of FGF2 in miR-195-5p+FGF2 group were lower than that in pLV-FGF2 group (all P<0.01). The proliferation in miR-195-5p mimic group was lower than HEC-1B group (P<0.01), while the proliferation in pLV-FGF2 group was higher than that in HEC-1B group (all P<0.01). Compared with HEC-1B group, apoptosis in miR-195-5p mimic group was increased, and apoptosis in pLV-FGF2 group was decreased (P<0.01); moreover, apoptosis in miR-195-5p+FGF2 group was higher than that in pLV-FGF2 group (P<0.01). Compared with HEC-1B group, the number of invasive cells per field and the rate of wound healing in miR195-5p mimic group were decreased, while those in pLV-FGF2 group was enhanced (P<0.01); moreover, the number of invasive cells per field and the rate of wound healing in miR-195-5p+FGF2 group was lower than those in pLV-FGF2 group (all P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-195-5p inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration and promotes apoptosis of endometrial cancer HEC-1B cells by targeting FGF2, and could be used as a treatment target of endometrial cancer.
