摘要
目的 探讨miR-215-3p对CXC结构趋化因子受体4(CXCR4)及CXCR4/RhoA信号通路的调控作用,以及对结肠癌HCT8细胞5-FU耐药的影响。方法 体外培养HCT8细胞和HCT8/5-FU耐药细胞分别作为HCT8组和HCT8/5-FU组,将miR-215-3p mimics转染至HCT8/5-FU细胞作为miR-215-3p组,转染无义序列为NC组。采用MTT法检测各组细胞增殖能力的改变,计算半数抑制浓度(IC_(50))。采用双荧光素酶报告实验验证miR-215-3p与CXCR4的靶向关系。采用Western blotting法检测各组CXCR4/RhoA信号通路相关蛋白CXCR4、RhoA、PI3K、RhoGEF、PAK、PKN1和ROCK的表达水平。结果 5-FU对HCT8细胞和HCT8/5-FU细胞的IC_(50)分别为19.98μmol/L和105.86μmol/L。HCT8/5-FU的耐药指数为5.30。HCT8/5-FU组miR-215-3p表达水平为0.54±0.13,低于HCT8组(P<0.05)。miR-215-3p组miR-215-3p表达水平为1.49±0.22,高于NC组和HCT8/5-FU组(P<0.05)。1、3、9、27、81μmol/L 5-FU对miR-215-3p组HCT8/5-FU细胞增殖抑制率分别为(14.46±1.79)%、(20.37±2.64)%、(54.87±3.81)%、(79.51±3.67)%和(84.62±4.15)%;相同浓度下, miR-215-3p组细胞增殖抑制率高于HCT8/5-FU组和NC组(P<0.05)。miR-215-3p可抑制野生型CXCR4 3’-UTR报告基因载体的荧光素酶活性,而对突变型CXCR4 3’-UTR的荧光素酶活性无影响。miR-215-5p组CXCR4、RhoA、PI3K、RhoGEF、PAK、PKN1和ROCK蛋白表达水平分别为0.41±0.07、0.34±0.08、0.82±0.15、0.29±0.04、0.39±0.06、0.30±0.03和0.51±0.08,均低于其余3组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 上调miR-215-3p表达可逆转HCT8/5-FU细胞株对5-FU的耐药性,其可能的作用机制可能与负性调控CXCR4/RhoA通路的活性有关。
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miR-215-3 p on CXC structural chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4) and CXCR4/RhoA signaling pathway and on 5-FU resistance in colon cancer cells. Methods HCT8 cells and HCT8/5-FU resistant cells were cultured in vitro as HCT8 group and HCT8/5-FU group, respectively. miR-215-3 p mimics was transfected into HCT8/5-FU cells as miR-215-3 p group, and the unintentional sequence was transfected as NC group. MTT assay was used to detect the change of cell proliferation ability in each group, and the half inhibitory concentration(IC_(50)) was calculated. Double luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-215-3 p and CXCR4. The expression levels of CXCR4/RhoA signaling pathway related proteins CXCR4, RhoA, PI3 K, RhoGEF, PAK, PKN1 and ROCK were detected by Western blotting method. Results The IC_(50) of 5-FU on HCT8 cells and HCT8/5-FU cells were 19.98 μmol/L and 105.86 μmol/L, respectively. The resistance index of HCT8/5-FU was 5.30. The expression level of miR-215-3 p in HCT8/5-FU group was 0.54±0.13, lower than that in HCT8 group(P<0.05). The expression level of miR-215-3 p in miR-215-3 p group was 1.49±0.22, higher than that in group of NC and HCT8/5-FU(P<0.05). The inhibition rates of 1, 3, 9, 27 and 81 μmol/L 5-FU on the proliferation of HCT8/5-FU cells in the miR-215-3 p group were(14.46±1.79)%,(20.37±2.64)%,(54.87±3.81)%,(79.51±3.67)% and(84.62 ±4.15)% respectively. At the same concentration, the inhibition rate of cell proliferation in the group of miR-215-3 p was higher than that in the group of HCT8/5-FU and NC(P<0.05). miR-215-3 p inhibited the luciferase activity of wild type CXCR4 3'-UTR reporter gene vector, but had no effect on mutant CXCR4 3'-UTR luciferase activity. The expressions of CXCR4, RhoA, PI3 K, RhoGEF, PAK, PKN1 and ROCK proteins in miR-215-3 p group were respectively 0.41±0.07, 0.34±0.08, 0.82±0.15, 0.29±0.04, 0.39±0.06, 0.30±0.03 and 0.51±0.08, which were lower than these proteins levels than HCT8/5-FU group, HCT8 group and NC group(P<0.05). Conclusion Upregulation of the expression of miR-215-3 p can reverse the resistance of HCT8/5-FU cell lines to 5-FU, and its possible mechanism may be related to the negative regulation of the activity of CXCR4/RhoA pathway.
