Study on effects and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA UCA1 on cell survival and migration of bladder cell UM-UC-3 via targeting miR-582-5p / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA UCA1 on cell survival and migration of bladder cancer cell UM-UC-3 by targeting miR-582-5p.Methods:Cells were transferred with UCA1 shRNA(sh-UCA1)and(or)miR-582-5p,the transfection efficiency and level of miR-582-5p were detected by RT-PCR.The luciferase report assay was performed for validate the relationship of UCA1 and miR-582-5p.The cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay.Apoptosis was detected by flow cy-tometry.The metastatic ability was calculated by wound healing and Transwell assay.And the protein levels of proliferation-,apoptosis-and migration-related were determined by Western blot.Results:sh-UCA1 inhibited the expression of UCA1 and induced the expression of miR-582-5p(P<0.05),and miR-582-5p inhibitor alleviated the effect of UCA1 on miR-582-5p(P<0.05).The luciferase reporter assay indicated that there was miR-582-5p binding site on UCA1.Silencing of UCA1 inhibited proliferation of bladder cancer cells and the expression of Ki67,induced apoptosis and expression of cleaved caspase-3(P<0.05).Meanwhile,sh-UCA1 inhibited migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells coupled with decreasing VEGF(P<0.05).In addition,miR-582-5p inhibitor attenuated the effects of UCA1 on proliferation,apoptosis and migration(P<0.05).Conclusion:UCA1 promotes survival and migration of bladder cancer cells through targeting miR-582-5p.
