miR-148-3p inhibits gastric cancer cell malignant phenotypes and chemotherapy resistance by targeting Bcl2
Gastric cancer(GC) is the fourth most common cancer in the world. This work was designed to explore the biological effects of miR-148-3p on GC. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to analyze the mRNA expression of miR-148-3p in GC cell lines. The mimic...

Sumario: | Gastric cancer(GC) is the fourth most common cancer in the world. This work was designed to explore the biological effects of miR-148-3p on GC. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to analyze the mRNA expression of miR-148-3p in GC cell lines. The mimics and inhibitors of miR-148-3p, was carefully transfected into GC cells to up-regulate or down-regulate miR-148-3p expression. Observe the effect on miR-148-3p expression change to GC cell proliferation, colony formation, tumorigenesis, chemotherapy sensitivity, trans-well migration and invasion. Use online database tool to predict the miR-148-3p promising targets, and be verified via RT-qPCR, Western blot and luciferase report. We found that miR-148-3p expression level in GC cells was markedly down-regulated (P <0.05), as compared with human normal gastric mucosal cells GES-1. Otherwise, miR-148-3p overexpression could effectively inhibit the cell proliferation, cell cycle progress, colony formation, anti-apoptosis, anti-migration and anti-invasion in gastric cancer cells, whereas miR-148-3p inhibition exhibited the opposite phenomenon (P<0.05). Further research revealed that Bcl2 set as a direct downstream target of miR-148-3p. Our study firstly confirmed that, miR-148-3p might play a crucial role in tumorigenesis, as well as development of gastric cancer by targeting Bcl2, and could become a promising target for gastric cancer treatment. |
