摘要:

目的 探讨微小RNA(miRNA)-34a通过Wnt途径影响慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)疾病进展的作用机制。方法 选用人慢性B细胞白血病细胞MEC-1。实验一分组:p53激动剂组和Control组;实验二分组:Control组、miR-34a-5p mimic组及对照组、miR-34a-5p inhibitor组及对照组、miR-34a-5p inhibitor+Wnt抑制剂XAV-939组。采用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)检测各组细胞中miR-34a-5p表达水平;CCK8检测细胞增殖能力;Transwell迁移实验检测细胞迁移能力;双萤光素酶报告实验检测p53与miR-34a-5p及miR-34a-5p与Wnt1的靶向关系;Western blot检测Wnt/β-catenin通路相关蛋白β-连环蛋白(β-catenin)、细胞周期蛋白D1(Cyclin D1)的表达。结果 在MEC-1细胞中:① p53激动剂组中miR-34a表达升高,增殖受抑制(P<0.05);双萤光素酶报告实验证实miR-34a-5p与p53之间呈现负调控相关性。② miR-34a-5p mimic组miR-34a-5p表达升高,增殖受抑制,迁移能力降低,β-catenin、Cyclin D1蛋白表达下调(P<0.05);miR-34a-5p inhibitor组miR-34a-5p表达降低,增殖升高,迁移能力增强,β-catenin、Cyclin D1蛋白表达上调(P<0.05)。③ miR-34a-5p和Wnt1呈现负调控相关性。④ 与miR-34a-5p inhibitor组相比,XAV-939组的miR-34a-5p表达升高,迁移细胞数减少,β-catenin和Cyclin D1蛋白表达量显著降低(P<0.05)。结论 miR-34a在CLL中扮演着抑癌基因的角色,过表达miR-34a可抑制Wnt/β-catenin信号通路,降低细胞的增殖活性和迁移能力,促进细胞凋亡。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA-34a (miR-34a-5p) on the progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methods Human chronic B-cell leukemia MEC-1 cells were selected for experimentation. MEC cells were divided into two groups, group one: the p53 agonist group and the control group; group two: the control group, the miR-34a-5p mimic group and its corresponding negative control, the miR-34a-5p inhibitor group and its corresponding negative control, as well as the miR-34a-5p inhibitor + Wnt inhibitor XAV-939 group. The expression levels of miR-34a-5p in each group were measured using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR). Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay, while cell migration ability was evaluated using Transwell migration assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the targeting relationships between p53 and miR-34a-5p, as well as between miR-34a-5p and Wnt1. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expressions of β-catenin and Cyclin D1, which were key components of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Results In MEC-1 cells: ① compared with the control group, there was a increased miR-34a-5p expression and inhibited cell proliferation in the p53 agonist group (P<0.05). Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed a negative regulatory correlation between miR-34a-5p and p53. ② the miR-34a-5p mimic group showed significantly upregulated miR-34a-5p expression compared to the control group, leading to suppressed cell proliferation, reduced migration capability and decreased protein expressions of β-catenin and Cyclin D1 (P<0.05). Conversely, the miR-34a-5p inhibitor group demonstrated significantly downregulated miR-34a-5p expression, resulting in enhanced cell proliferation, increased migratory capacity and upregulated protein levels of β-catenin and Cyclin D1 compared to those of the control group (P<0.05). ③ A targeting relationship was observed between miR-34a-5p and Wnt1. ④ Compared with the miR-34a-5p inhibitor group, the XAV-939 group exhibited significantly upregulated miR-34a-5p expression, markedly decreased numbers of migrated cells and substantially reduced protein expression levels of β-catenin and Cyclin D1 (P<0.05). Conclusion miR-34a plays the role of a tumor suppressor gene in CLL. Overexpression of miR-34a can inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, reduce the proliferation activity and migration ability of cells, and promote cell apoptosis.
