RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of miR-143 regulating matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-13 expression on migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells.@*METHODS@#The mouse osteosarcoma cell line 143B cells were cultured in 96-well plates, and blank group, negative group, positive group, and intervention group were set up. Then, the blank group did no treatment 50 μg miR-143 mimic was added to positive group, negative group added equal mimic NC (control sequence of miR-143 mimic), the intervention group was added 50 μg miR-143 mimic and 10 μg MMP-13 protein, all groups continued to culture for 3 to 6 hours, and finally the serum was aspirated to treat for half an hour. The protein expressions of miR-143 and MMP-13 in each group were measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR experiment and Western blot experiment, respectively, and the invasion and migration abilities of cells were measured by Transwell and scratch experiments.@*RESULTS@#The expression of MMP-13 protein in the positive group and the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the blank group, and the positive group was lower than the intervention group (P<0.05);The mean numbers of invasive cells in blank group, negative group, positive group and intervention group were (1 000.01±44.77), (959.25±46.32), (245.04±4.33), (634.06±33.78) cells/field, respectively;the scratch healing rate of the positive group and the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the blank group, and the positive group was lower than the intervention group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#MMP-13 is a target of miR-143, which can reduce the migration and invasion ability of osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting the expression of MMP-13.
