摘要
目的探讨微小RNA-506-3p(miR-506-3p)通过调控含PHD及指环结构域的类泛素蛋白1(UHRF1)的表达,进而影响大肠癌细胞转移能力的机制。方法利用生物信息学的方法预测并筛选UHRF1上游可能发挥调控作用的miRNA-506-3p;在大肠癌细胞及组织中分别检测miR-506-3p及UHRF1的表达水平并分析其相关性;运用荧光素酶报告基因技术检测miR-506-3p与UHRF1 3'非翻译区(3'UTR)特异性结合的情况;荧光定量PCR(qRTPCR)及Western blot检测大肠癌细胞转染miR-506-3p类似物(mimics)后对UHRF1表达水平的影响;构建UHRF1过表达的大肠癌稳转细胞株,分别转染miR-506-3p mimics及其对照序列(mimics control)后,利用Transwell实验检测处理前后大肠癌细胞转移能力的变化。结果相对于正常大肠上皮细胞及癌旁组织而言,miR-506-3p在大肠癌细胞及组织中的表达均下调(均P<0. 05),且与UHRF1的表达水平呈负相关(r=-0. 456,P=0. 044); miR-506-3p通过其"种子序列"与UHRF1 3'UTR特异性结合(P<0. 01),并减少了UHRF1的mRNA及蛋白表达(均P<0. 01);转染miR-506-3p mimics抑制了大肠癌LoVo细胞的转移能力(P<0. 01),而在此基础上增加UHRF1的表达则逆转了miR-506-3p的抑制作用(P<0. 01)。结论 miR-506-3p通过调控UHRF1抑制了大肠癌细胞的转移能力,在大肠癌中发挥抑癌基因的作用。
Objective To explore the effect of microRNA-506-3 p( miR-506-3 p) on metastasis of colorectal cancer( CRC) and its relation to UHRF1( ubiquitin-like,containing PHD and ring finger domain 1). Methods Bioinformatics screening was performed to predict UHRF1 as a potential target of miR-506-3 p. The expression of miR-506-3 p and UHRF1 was detected by qRT-PCR in 20 pairs of CRC and adjacent non-tumoral tissue samples,CRC cell lines LoVo,SW480,HT29,Caco-2 and normal intestinal epithelial cell line NCM460. Luciferase reporter assays,qRT-PCR,Western blotting and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effects of miR-506-3 p on the regulation of UHRF1 in CRC cells. Results Bioinformatics analysis indicated that UHRF1 was a putative target of miR-506-3 p. The expression of miR-506-3 p decreased in CRC cell lines and in CRC tissues compared to adjacent non-cancerous tissues,and it was negatively correlated with UHRF1 expression. Luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-506-3 p directly bound to 3'-UTR of UHRF1. Over-expression of miR-506-3 p decreased the expression of UHRF1. In vitro migration assay showed that synthetic miR-506-3 p suppressed UHRF1 expression and reduced metastasis of CRC cells. Conclusion miR-506-3 p suppresses metastasis of CRC through targeting UHRF1 and it may play an important role as a tumor suppressor in CRC.
