Then, miR-342-3p with markedly significant differential expression was selected as the target miRNA. The lentiviruses LV16-hsa-miR-342-3p inhibitor and LV16-NC were used for the transfection inhibition test. CCK-8, flow cytometry, and qRT-PCR were used to detect the cell viability, apoptosis rate, and CD133 mRNA expression of CD133+ CCSCs.Results: Under the high-glucose environment, the expression of tumor suppressor-related miRNAs in CCSCs changed differently (p < 0.05), MET also had different effects on the expression of tumor suppressor-related miRNA under different glucose concentrations (p< 0.05). Among them, MET upregulates the expression of miR-342-3p in CCSCs for the first time. The results of the lentiviruses transfection inhibition test showed that after miR-342-3p was inhibited, the cell viability and apoptosis rate of CD133+ CCSCs did not change significantly compared with before inhibition (p> 0.05), but the expression of CD133 mRNA markedly increased (p< 0.05). Meanwhile, after MET intervention, the apoptosis rate and the expression of CD133 mRNA of CD133+ CCSCs was significantly increased, and the proliferation of CD133+ CCSCs was obviously inhibited (p< 0.05).Conclusion: MET upregulating the expression of miR-342-3p may not have a significant effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of CD133+ CCSCs, but it can reduce the expression of CD133 mRNA in CD133+ CCSCs.Keywords: metformin, colon cancer stem cells, tumor suppressor-related miRNAs, CD133Zhang YChen RDeng LShuai ZChen MDove Medical Pressarticlemetformincolon cancer stem cellstumor suppressor-related mirnascd133Therapeutics.
