Research on miR-497 inhibiting the expression of inflammation-related genes in colon cancer cell line HCT116 using gene expression microarray / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effect of miR-497 high expression on the gene expression profile of colon cancer cell line HCT116. Methods MiR-497 high expressing colon cancer cell model HCT116-497 and negative control HCT116-CON were established by lentiviral transduction. The human (V2) gene expression microarray was used to identify genes that were differentially expressed between colon cancer cells overexpressing miR-497 and the controls. The candidates were subjected to the gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis by Molecule Annotation System 3.0 (MAS3.0). The differential expression of representative genes relative to inflammation were confirmed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results Of all the differently expressed genes, 582 genes were down-regulated by at least 3-folds, which were enriched in inflammation-related signaling pathways in colon cancer cells overexpressing miR-497. The decrease in 15 representative genes was validated by qPCR. Compared with those in HCT116-CON cells, expressions of 10 genes in HCT116-497 cells, including CACNB1, FOS, IL-29, RPS6KA2, TNFSF15, IL-11, INHBC, CSF1R, JAK3 and IL-2Rβ, were decreased significantly, and there were statistical differences (all P< 0.05) Conclusion MiR-497 inhibits the mRNA expression of inflammation-related genes in colon cancer cell line HCT116.
