Abstract:

Methods The gastric cancer tissue and the adjacent tissue of 68 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by pathological diagnosis were collected.The expression levels of miR-431-3p mRNA and carboxy-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (CTDP1) mRNA in gastric cancer tissue, adjacent tissue, human normal gastric mucosal epithelial GES-1 cells and human gastric cancer cells (MKN-28, MGC-803, MKN-45, SGC-7901, HGC-27 cells )were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) method;the expression levels of CTDP1 protein in the above cells and the expression levels of cytochrome C(Cyt C),B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in the SGC-7901 cells in various groups were detected by Western blotting method; the correlation between miR-431-3p and CTDP1 mRNA expression level was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis;the targeting relationship between miR-431-3p and CTDP1 was detected by dual luciferase reporter gene experiment; the miR-431-3p mimic and CTDP1 over-expression lentivirus were transfected into the SGC-7901 cells separately or at the same time.The cells were divided into blank group, vector over-expression(mimic NC) group,miR-431-3p over-expression (miR-431-3p mimic) group,vector lentivirus(vector) group, CTDP1 over-expression lentivirus (CTDP over-expression)group and miR-431-3p mimic+CTDP1 over-expression (co-transfection) group.The proliferation activities of the cells in various groups were detected by MTT assay; the clone formation numbers of the SGC-7901 cells in various groups were detected by clone formation assay;the apoptotic rates of the SGC-7901 cells in various groups were detected by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the adjacent tissue, the expression level of miR-431-3p in the gastric cancer tissue was decreased (P<0.01),and the expression level of CTDP1 mRNA was increased (P<0.01), and there was a negative correlation between them (r=-0.316, P=0.009). Compared with the GES-1 cells, the expression levels of miR-431-3p in the other five kinds of gastric cancer cells were decreased (P<0.01), and the expression levels of CTDP1 mRNA and protein were increased (P<0.05). The results of dual luciferase reporter system showed that miR-431-3p targetedly regulated the expression of CTDP1. Compared with blank group and mimic NC group, the expression levels of CTDP1 and Bcl-2 proteins, proliferation activity,and number of clone formation of the SGC-7901 cells in miR-431-3p group were decreased (P<0.05), while the apoptotic rate, expression levels of Cyt C and Bax proteins were increased (P<0.05). Compared with blank group and vector group, the expression levels of CTDP1 and Bcl-2 proteins, proliferation activity, and number of clone formation of the SGC-7901 cells in CTDP1 over-expression group were increased (P<0.05), while the apoptotic rate, the expression levels of Cyt C and Bax proteins were decreased (P<0.05). Compared with blank group and miR-431-3p group, the expression levels of CTDP1 and Bcl-2 proteins, proliferation activity,and number of clone formation of the SGC-7901 cells in co-transfection group were increased (P<0.05), while the apoptotic rate, expression levels of Cyt C and Bax proteins were decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion Over-expression of miR-431-3p can inhibit the proliferation and promot the apoptosis of the human gastric cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to targeted down-regulation of the CTDP1 gene expression. Objective To discuss the effect of miR-431-3p on the proliferation and apoptosis of the gastric cancer cells,and to elucidate its possible molecular mechanism.
