摘要: 目的 探讨miR-141对口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)CAL27细胞增殖活性的影响及其与EphA2的靶向关系。方法 构建pre-miR-141、EphA2野生型(EphA2-WT)和突变型(EphA2-MT)真核表达载体,采用实时定量PCR(qRT-PCR)检测pre-miR-141的转染效率。用MTT检测细胞增殖活性,用双荧光素酶报告基因检测、qRT-PCR和Western blot验证miR-141与EphA2的靶向关系。结果 pcDNATM6.2-GW-pre-miR-141、pmirGLO-EphA2-WT和pmirGLO-EphA2-MT表达载体构建成功,转染pre-miR-141的CAL27细胞miR-141的表达显著升高(P<0.001)。miR-141过表达能够明显抑制CAL27细胞的增殖(P<0.05),共转染pre-miR-141和EphA2-WT的CAL 27细胞其荧光活性显著下降(P<0.001),转染pre-miR-141的CAL27细胞其EphA2的表达要显著低于转染空质粒组(P<0.001),miR-141的过表达能够显著抑制EphA2的蛋白表达水平。结论 miR-141的过表达可能通过靶向下调EphA2的表达从而抑制OSCC的增殖。

Abstract: Objective To assess the effect of miR-141 on proliferation of human oral squamous cell carcinoma and target relationship between miR-141 and EphA2. Methods pcDNATM6.2-GW-pre-miR-141 was constructed and identified by qRT-PCR. EphA2-WT and EphA2-MT sequences were respectively cloned into pmirGLO plasmid. The potential proliferation function of miR-141 on CAL27 cells was analyzed by MTT. The target relationship between miR-141 and EphA2 was identified by Dual-Luciferase Assay System, qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results We constructed successfully the recombinant plasmids, including pcDNATM6.2-GW-pre-miR-141, pmirGLO-EphA2-WT and pmirGLO-EphA2-MT, and the transfection efficiency of pre-miR-141 was increased in CAL27 cells compared to control group(P<0.001). miR-141 could suppress the proliferation of CAL27 cells(P<0.05). Furthermore, a significant reduction of luciferase activities of CAL27 cells co-transfected with pre-miR-141 and EphA2-WT(P<0.001). The mRNA(P<0.001) and protein expression levels of EphA2 were decreased in CAL 27 cells transfected with pre-miR-141. Conclusion Overexpression of miR-141 could suppress cell proliferation by targeting EphA2 in CAL27 cells.
