摘要:

目的 探讨环状RNA(CircRNA)反义小脑变性相关蛋白1转录本(CircCDR1as)通过调节miR-671-5p/染色盒同源物4(CBX4)轴对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移和侵袭的影响。方法 体外培养人NSCLC细胞株(NCI-H524、NCI-H1734、Calu-3和A549)和人支气管上皮样细胞(HBE)。A549细胞分成Control组、si-NC组、si-CircCDR1as组、si-CircCDR1as+anti-miR-NC组、si-CircCDR1as+anti-miR-671-5p组、pcDNA组、CircCDR1as组、miR-NC组、miR-671-5p组、miR-671-5p+pcDNA组、miR-671-5p+CBX4组、anti-miR-NC组和anti-miR-671-5p组。采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测CircCDR1as、miR-671-5p和CBX4 mRNA表达。Western blot检测CBX4蛋白表达。分别采用四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)、克隆形成实验、流式细胞术和Transwell检测细胞活力、增殖、凋亡、迁移和侵袭。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测验证miR-671-5p与CircCDR1as或CBX4之间的靶向关系。结果 与HBE细胞相比,CircCDR1as和CBX4在4种NSCLC细胞中表达升高,miR-671-5p表达降低(P<0.05)。与si-NC组比较,si-CircCDR1as组A549细胞活力和克隆形成数显著降低,细胞迁移和侵袭数目减少,凋亡率增高(P<0.05)。miR-671-5p作为CircCDR1as的靶点,其下调减弱了CircCDR1as沉默对NSCLC进展的调控作用(P<0.05)。miR-671-5p靶向CBX4在体外抑制NSCLC的恶性进展(P<0.05)。沉默CircCDR1as可通过上调miR-671-5p水平降低CBX4的表达(P<0.05)。结论 CircCDR1as沉默可通过上调miR-671-5p和下调CBX4表达来抑制细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭,诱导细胞凋亡。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate effects of CircRNA antisense cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CircCDR1as) on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells by regulating miR-671-5p/chromobox 4 (CBX4) axis. Methods Human NSCLC cell lines (NCI-H524, NCI-H1734, Calu-3 and A549) and human bronchial epithelioid cells (HBE) were cultured in vitro. A549 cells were randomly separated into the control group, the si-NC group, the si-CircCDR1as group, the si-CircCDR1as+anti-miR-NC group, the si-CircCDR1as+anti-miR-671-5p group, the pcDNA group, the CircCDR1as group, the miR-NC group, the miR-671-5p group, the miR-671-5p+pcDNA group, the miR-671-5p+CBX4 group, the anti-miR-NC group and the anti-miR-671-5p group. The expression levels of CircCDR1as, miR-671-5p and CBX4 mRNA were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression of CBX4 was detected by Western blot assay. The cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were detected by tetramethylazolium salt (MTT), clonogenic assay, flow cytometry and Transwell, respectively. The targeting relationship between miR-671-5p and CircCDR1as or CBX4 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results Compared with HBE cells, expression levels of CircCDR1as and CBX4 were increased and the expression of miR-671-5p was decreased in the four NSCLC cell groups (P<0.05). Compared with the si-NC group, the viability and the number of colonies of A549 cells were obviously decreased in the si-CircCDR1as group, the numbers of cell migration and invasion were decreased, and the apoptosis rate was increased (P<0.05). The down regulation of miR-671-5p, a target of CircCDR1as, attenuated the regulatory effect of CircCDR1as silencing on NSCLC progression (P<0.05). miR-671-5p targeting CBX4 inhibited the malignant progression of NSCLC in vitro (P<0.05). The down regulation of CircCDR1as could reduce the expression of CBX4 by up-regulating the level of miR-671-5p (P<0.05). Conclusion CircCDR1as silencing can inhibit cell proliferation, migration and invasion and induce cell apoptosis by up-regulating miR-671-5p and down-regulating CBX4.
