摘要: 目的

探讨miR-222-3p通过人第10号染色体缺失的磷酸酶和张力蛋白合同源基因(PTEN)对甲状腺癌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响,阐明miR-222-3p在甲状腺癌131I放疗抵抗中的作用及机制。

方法

采用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)法检测人甲状腺癌细胞和人正常甲状腺滤泡上皮Nth-ori 3-1细胞中miR-222-3p表达水平。以人甲状腺癌K1细胞和放射抗性K1(K1R)细胞为研究对象,实验分为空白对照组、131I处理组、131I+miR-222-3p敲降组、131I+PTEN过表达组和131I+PTEN过表达+miR-222-3p过表达组。空白对照组K1和K1R细胞不经任何处理,131I处理组K1和K1R细胞经1和3 Gy 131I处理,131I+miR-222-3p敲降组K1和K1R细胞转染miR-222-3p inhibitor后再经1和3 Gy 131I处理,131I+PTEN过表达组K1和K1R细胞转染PTEN过表达载体后再经1 和3 Gy 131I处理,131I+PTEN过表达+miR-222-3p过表达组K1和K1R细胞同时转染PTEN过表达载体和miR-222-3p mimic后再经1和3 Gy 131I处理。克隆形成实验检测K1和K1R细胞克隆形成数,CCK-8实验检测K1和K1R细胞增殖活性,Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI双染法流式细胞术检测K1和K1R细胞凋亡率,Western blotting检测K1和K1R细胞中PTEN蛋白表达水平,双荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-222-3p与PTEN的靶向关系。

结果

与Nth-ori 3-1细胞比较,甲状腺癌细胞中miR-222-3p表达水平升高(P<0.01);且甲状腺癌K1R细胞中miR-222-3p表达水平高于甲状腺癌K1细胞(P<0.01)。与131I处理组比较,131I+miR-222-3p敲降组K1和K1R细胞克隆形成数减少(P<0.01),细胞增殖活性降低(P<0.01),细胞凋亡率升高(P<0.01)。与miR-NC-PTEN-WT组比较,miR-222-3p-PTEN-WT组HEK-293细胞中荧光素酶活性降低(P<0.01)。与敲降前比较,敲降miR-222-3p后K1和K1R细胞中PTEN蛋白表达水平升高(P<0.01)。与131I +PTEN过表达组比较,131I+PTEN+miR-222-3p过表达组K1和K1R细胞克隆形成数增加(P<0.01),细胞增殖活性升高(P<0.01),细胞凋亡率降低(P<0.01)。

结论

敲降miR-222-3p靶向PTEN并上调其表达水平可以缓解甲状腺癌131I的放疗抵抗。

Abstract: Objective

To investigate the effect of miR-222-3p on the proliferation and apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells via regulating gene of phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN),and to elucidate the role of miR-222-3p in 131I radiotherapy resistance of thyroid cancer cells and its mechanism.

Methods

The expression levels of miR-222-3p in the human thyroid cancer cells and human normal thyroid follicular epithelial Nth-ori 3-1 cells were determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) method.The thyroid cancer K1 cells and 131I resistance of thyroid cancer K1R cells were used as the subjects and were divided into blank control group, 131I treatment group, 131I+miR-222-3p knockdown group, 131I+PTEN over-expression group,and 131I+PTEN over-expression+miR-222-3p over-expression group. The K1 cells and KIR cells in blank control group didn’t receive any treatment; both the K1 and K1R cells in 131I treatment group were treated with 131I at doses of 1 and 3 Gy; the cells in 131I+miR-222-3p knockdown group were transfected with miR-222-3p inhibitor prior to 131I treatment at dose of 1 and 3 Gy; the cells in 131I+PTEN over-expression group were transfected with pcDNA3.1-PTEN prior to 131I treatment with doses of 1 and 3 Gy; the cells in 131I+PTEN over-expression+miR-222-3p over-expression group were simultaneously transfected with pcDNA3.1-PTEN and miR-222-3p mimic prior to 131I treatment with doses of 1 and 3 Gy. Clony formation assay was used to detect the clony formation number of K1 and K1R cells;CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation activities of K1 and K1R cells;Annexin Ⅴ-FITC / PI double staining method was used to detect the apoptotic rates of K1 and K1R cells;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of PTEN protein in K1 and K1R cells; Double luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-222-3p and PTEN.

Results

Compared with the Nth-ori 3-1 cells,the expression levels of miR-222-3p in thyroid carcinoma cells were increased (P<0.01); the expression level of miR-222-3p in the thyroid cancer K1R cells was higher than that in thyroid cancer K1 cells (P<0.01). Compared with 131I treatment group, the clony formation number of the K1 and K1R cells in 131I + miR-222-3p knockdown group was decreased(P<0.01), the proliferation activities of K1 and K1R cells were decreased (P<0.01),and the apopotic rates were increased(P<0.01). Compared with miR-NC-PTEN-WT group, the luciferase activity of HEK-293 cells in miR-222-3P-PTEN-WT group was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with before knockdown, the expression level of PTEN protein in K1 and K1R cells were significantly increased after knockdown(P<0.01). Compared with 131I + PTEN over-expression group, the colony formation number of K1 and K1R cells in 131I +PTEN over-expression+miR-222-3p over-expression group was increased (P<0.01), the proliferation activities were increased (P<0.01), and the apoptotic rate was decreased (P<0.01).

Conclusion

Knockdown of miR-222-3p targeting PTEN and up-regulating its expression level can alleviate the 131I radiotherapy resistance of thyroid cancer cells.
