Abstract:

Objective To discuss the inhibitory effect of microRNA-487a (miR-487a) on the M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in gastric cancer, and to clarify its effect on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of the gastric cancer AGS cells. Methods The TAMs from gastric cancer tissue and adjacent normal tissue macrophages (NTMs) from adjacent tissue of the primary gastric cancer patients were isolated and cultured. The human monocyte THP-1 cells were induced in vitro to differentiate into TAMs, and the differentiated M0, M1, and M2 macrophages were cultured for 24 h by conditioned medium (CM) to obtain the TAMs, M1-TAMs, and M2-TAMs respectively. The TAMs were transfected and then divided into blank group, inhibitor-NC group, miR-487a inhibitor group, miR-487a inhibitor+si-NC group, and miR-487a inhibitor+si-TIA1 group. The transfection efficiencies of the cells in various groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting methods. The M2-TAMs were co-cultured with the AGS cells, and divided into AGS group, AGS+inhibitor-NC group, AGS+miR-487a inhibitor group, AGS+miR-487a inhibitor+si-NC group, and AGS+miR-487a inhibitor+si-TIA1 group. RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression levels of miR-487a and lymphocyte intracytoplasmic antigen-1 (TIA1) mRNA in TAMs from gastric cancer tissue and NTMs from adjacent normal tissue in various groups; Western blotting method was used to detect the expression level of TIA1 protein in TAMs from gastric cancer tissue and NTMs from adjacent normal tissue and TAMs in various groups; flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of CD206 and CD163 in TAMs in various groups; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), and arginase-1 (Arg-1) in culture supernatant of the TAMs cells; CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferative activity of the AGS cells in various groups; wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the AGS cells in various groups; Transwell assay was used to detect the number of invasion AGS cells in various groups. Results The RT-qPCR results shoued that compared with NTMs from adjacent tissue, the expression level of miR-487a in the TAMs from gastric cancer tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01) and the expression level of TIA1 mRNA was significantly decreased (P<0.01).
