Mechanism of miR-34a on invasion and migration ability of human lung carcinoma by Snail induced EMT / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the exression of miR-34a on lung cancer and normal lung tissues,and the effect and mechanism of miR-34a in lung cancer cell invasion and migration.Methods: qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-34a on lung cancer.miR-34a-mimic and miR-34a-inhibitor were used to overexpress and knockdown miR-34a.qPCR was used to detect the effectiveness.Western blot was used to detect the expression of Snail after induced with miR-34a-mimic and miR-34a-inhibitor.Luciferase reporter gene was used to detect interaction between miR-34a and Snail.Transwell invasion assay was used to detect invasion ability after induced with miR-34a-mimic and miR-34a-inhibitor.Scratch assay was used to detect migration ability after induced with miR-34a-mimic and miR-34a-inhibitor.The expression of E-cadherin,Vimentin and Twist were detected by Western blot.Results: miR-34a expression was significantly reduced in lung cancer.With the stage of lung cancer progression,the expression of miR-34a reduced.With the differentiation of lung cancer progression,the expression of miR-34a decreased.Decreasing of miR-34a was associated with lung cancer lymph node metastasis.miR-34a-mimic and miR-34a-inhibitor could overexpress and knockdown miR-34a.miR-34a could regulate expression of Snail.Snail was the direct target of miR-34a;miR-34a could regulate the invasion ability of human lung carcinoma H1650 cells;miR-34a could regulate the migration of human lung carcinoma H1650 cells;miR-34a could regulate the expression of E-cadherin,Vimentin and Twist.Conclusion: miR-34a plays the role of tumor suppressor factor in lung cancer.miR-34a can regulate the invasion and migration ability of lung carcinoma H1650 cells by Snail induced EMT.
