RESUMO
@#[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) in colorectal cancer tissues and cells and its effect on the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2019, 78 pairs of colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancerous tissues from the patients who had radical colorectal cancer resection in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to quantify the levels of lncRNA SNHG10 and miR-532-3p in colorectal cancer tissues, colorectal cancer cell lines (SW480, SW620, HT-29 and LoVo) and human normal colorectal mucosal FHC cells; and their correlations with the clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer patients were further analyzed. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to validate the targeted relationship between lncRNA SNHG10 and miR-532-3p. After transfection with si-SNHG10 or miR-532-3p mimic or co-transfection of si-SNHG10 and miR-532-3p inhibitor, the invasion and migration of SW620 cells were detected by Transwell assay, and the protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin were detected by WB. Results: SNHG10 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and cells (all P<0.05), and its expression was related to TNM stage and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). miR-532-3p was lowly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and cells, and its expression was correlated with TNM stage, lymphonode metastasis and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). The expression of SNHG10 and miR-532-3p in colorectal cancer tissues was negatively correlated (r=-0.225, P=0.048). Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that SNHG10 targetedly regulated miR-532-3p. Both down-regulation of SNHG10 and up-regulation of miR-532-3p significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of SW620 cells (all P<0.05), up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin (P<0.05), while down-regulated the expression of N-cadherin and vimentin (all P<0.05). After transfection with miR-532-3p inhibitor, the inhibitory effect of knocking down the expression of lncRNA SNHG10 on the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells was reversed (all P<0.05). Conclusions: LncRNA SNHG10 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and is associated with TNM stage and distant metastasis. LncRNA SNHG10 affects the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells by targeting miR-532-3p and regulating EMT.
RESUMO
@# Objective: To investigate whether inhibitor of differentiation 1 gene (Id1) and Id3 gene can synergistically promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion and migration of colon cancer SW620 cells and to explore its underlying mechanisms. Methods: The SW620 cell strain with Idl or Id3 gene knockdown and the SW620 cell strain with Id1/Id3 gene double-knockdown were constructed by lentiviral vectors transfection. The SW620 cells were divided into four groups, which included SW620-Sh-Id1 group (transfected with shRNA-Id1), SW620-Sh-Id3 group (transfected with shRNA-Id3), SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group (transfected with shRNAId1 plus shRNA-Id3) and SW620-NC group (transfected with negative lentivirus). The efficiency of knockdown was detected by Realtime qPCR and Western blotting. The influence of stable knockdown of Idl or Id3 on cell morphological change was observed under a microscope. The changes of migration and invasion abilities of the SW620 cells were determined by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. EMT, invasion and migration related proteins were measured by Western blotting. Results: The SW620 cell strains with Idl and/or Id3 gene knockdown were successfully constructed. Idl and Id3 knockdown induced the epithelial-like to the mesenchymanl-like transformation of SW620 cells. (1) Compared with the control group, the invasion and migration abilities of the SW620 cells were significantly decreased in the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group (all P<0.05). (2) Meanwhile, the invasion and migration abilities in the SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group were obviously weaker than the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group (all P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group had a reduction in the protein expressions of βcatenin, snail1 and MMP2, and an increase in the protein expressions of E-cadherin and TIMP2 (all P<0.05). (4) Compared with the SW620-Sh-Id1 group and SW620-Sh-Id3 group , the protein expressions of β-catenin, snail1 and MMP2 were reduced, and the protein expressions of E-cadherin and TIMP2 were increased in the SW620-Sh-Id1-Id3 group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Id1 and Id3 could synergistically influence invasion and migration of SW620 cells, possibly through inducing EMT.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the changes of VEGF signaling pathway in colon cancer patients and the effect of schisandrin B on SW620 cells and to analyze its possible mechanism. METHODS: The protein expression of VEGFA, VEGF-R2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt in human cancerous colon samples and adjacent normal samples were detected by Western blotting. The proliferation of SW620 cells was detected by CCK-8 method. The mRNA expression of VEGFA, VEGF-R2, PI3K and Akt in SW620 cells were detected by real-time PCR. The protein expression of VEGFA, VEGF-R2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt in SW620 cells were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The protein expression of VEGF-R2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt in human cancerous colon samples was significantly higher than that in the adjacent normal samples(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, schisandrin B could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of SW620 cells, the mRNA expression of VEGFA, VEGF-R2, PI3K and Akt(P<0.01) and the protein expression of VEGFA, VEGF-R2, PI3K, Akt and p-Akt(P<0.05) in SW620 cells also were significantly decreased by schisandrin B. CONCLUSION: The VEGF/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is activated in colon cancer patients. Schisandrin B could inhibit the activity and migration of SW620 cells and inhibit the VEGF/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitory effect and its mechanism of platycodin D (PD) on human colonic cancer SW620 cell proliferation. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of PD on SW620 cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay, while the effect of PD on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. The effect of PD on expression of cyclin and ap-optosis associated proteins were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: The cell proliferation of human colonic cancer SW620 cell was inhibited by PD in a dose-dependent manner. After cells were treated with PD(15, 20 μmol · L-1) for 24 h, the proportions of cells in G0/G1 phase were (72.83±5.26)% and (76.82±5.83)% respectively, while the control group cells was (56.78±4.92)%, which suggested PD could block SW620 in the G, phase compared with the control group cells. Furthermore, the expressions of cyclinD1, c-myc and GDK6 were reduced obviously. Compared with the control group cells, the apoptotic rates were increased [(19.5±5.1)%, (35.8±5.3)% and (43.8±4.0)% respectively] after cells were treated by PD (10, 15, 20 μmol · L-1) for 48 h. The expression of procaspase 3 and PARP with proenzyme form were reduced. CONCLUSION: PD could inhibit the growth of colon cancer cell by blocking SW620 in the G, phase through regulating the expression of cyclinD1, c-myc and CDK6 and thus inducing the apoptosis by cell cycle arrest.
RESUMO
Objective To study inhibitory effects of transcription factor activator protein-2α(AP-2α)on proliferation of colon cancer cells in vitro and its mechanism. Methods The peDNA3.1 (+)-AP-2α recombinant plasmid was constructed. Plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)- AP-2α and pcDNA3.1(+)was transfected into SW620 cell by liposome mediation for transient expression, and proliferative activities of SW620 cell were evaluated by MTT assay. The change in the mRNA and protein expression level of ER-β before and after transfection was detected using the methods of Real-Time PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results The mRNA and protein expressions of AP-2α could be enhanced by transfecting of AP-2α gene in SW620 cell. MTT assay indicated: the proliferation velocity of SW620 cell for transfection of the pcDNA3.1(+)-AP-2α plasmid was apparently inhibited. The expression of ER-β in SW620 cell increased significantly after AP-2α gene transfection. Compared with control group, the difference was significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of AP-2α inhibits the proliferation of SW620 cell in vitro, which is probably related with activation of ER-β.
