Role of microRNA-150 in proliferation, migration and invasion of conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the expression of microRNA-150 (miR-150) in conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, so as to investigate its mechanism in proliferation, migration and invasion of conjunctival MALT lymphoma. Methods The expressions of ;m'P-150 and Cbl-b, a possible downstream molecule of miR-150, were measured by qPCR in MALT lymphoma tissues and precancerous tissues collected from 3 patients with conjunctival MALT lymphoma in Changzheng Hospital of Second Military Medical University. Then, we transfected miR-150 inhibitor and negative control into human multiple myeloma cell lines RPM1 8226 by cell transfection. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry (FCM) method were used to investigate the role of miR-150 in the proliferation and apoptosis of RPM1 8226 cells. Transwell assay was used to analyze the effect of miR-150 on the migration and invasion of RPMI 8226 cells. Western blotting analysis was used to examine the regulation of miR150 on Cbl-b expression in RPMI 8226 cells. Results The expression of miR-150 was significantly increased in the conjunctival MALT lymphoma tissues compared with precancerous tissues (P< 0. 05,P< 0. 01). Compared with negative control group, the proliferation of RPMI 8226 cells was significantly repressed (P< 0. 01), the apoptosis was significantly increased (P< 0. 01), and the migration and invasion were significantly decreased (P< 0. 05,P< 0. 01) after transfection of miR-150 inhibitor. The expression of Cbl-b was significantly up-regulated in MALT lymphoma tissues, and was significantly increased after inhibiting miR-150 expression. Conclusion Up-regulated miR-150 can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells and is involved in the generation of conjunctival MALT lymphoma, which may be mediated by inhibiting its downstream target gene Cbl-b.
