p53 inhibits the proliferation of lung cancer cell PC-9 by regulating miR-148b / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the function of p53 on regulating the expression of miR-148b in lung cancer cell line PC-9 and its corresponding molecular mechanism and the impact on cell proliferation. Methods Transient transfection of p53 eukaryotic expressing plasmids into lung cancer cell line PC-9 was performed to establish a cell model over-expressing p53. RT-PCR was used to explicit the impact of p53 on the expression of miR-148b. A reporter vector containing miR-148b promoter was used to investigate the function of p53 on regulating the transcription of miR-148b. Low-expressing miR-148b by transfecting its specific inhibitors , a CCK-8 assay was performed to explore the influence of miR-148b on the lung cancer cell proliferation inhibited by p53. Results Over-expression of p53 promoted miR-148b expression in lung cancer cell line PC-9. P53 could increase the luciferase activity driven by miR-148b promoters. Knockdown of miR-148b attenuated the impact of p53 on inhibiting the proliferation of PC-9 cells. Conclusion P53 inhibits the proliferation of lung cancer cell line PC-9 partially depending on miR-148b.
