Abstract: Objective To discover the mechanism by which miR-1287-5p affects the sensitivity of human esophageal cancer cell line KYSE30 to paclitaxel. Methods KYSE30 cells were divided into control group, group of transfected with miR-1287-5p mimic and inhibitor groups. RT-qPCR was used to detect the transfection rate. A paclitaxel-resistant cell line was established and cell viability and half inhibitory concentration (IC50) were detected by CCK-8 assay. The scratch test, Transwell chamber test and TUNEL method were used to evaluate the migration, invasion and apoptosis of cells . Western blot and immunocytochemistry (ICC) were used to detect the expression and localization of Akt and GSK-3β in cells. Results The expression level of miR-1287-5p in the miR-1287-5p mimic group was significantly higher than that in the miR-NC group and control group (P<0.05), while the expression level of the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in miR-NC group and control group (P<0.05). The cell survival rate of the miR-1287-5p mimic group was higher than that of the miR-NC group and the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group (P<0.05). The cell migration rate and number of invasive cells in the miR-1287-5p mimic group were higher than those of the miR-NC group(P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate was lower than that of the miR-NC group (P<0.05). While in miR-1287-5p, the cell migration rate was lower and invasive cells were less in the inhibitor group and the apoptosis rate was increased as compared to the miR-NC group (P<0.05).The expression of Akt and GSK-3β in the miR-1287-5p mimic group was significantly increased than in the miR-NC group (P<0.05), while the expression in the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group was significantly inhibited than in miR-NC group (P<0.05). Conclusions Up-regulation of miR-1287-5p can promote the migration and invasion of paclitaxel-resistant cell lines, inhibit cell apoptosis and thereby promote the development of paclitaxel resistance.
