摘要: 目的:分析MicroRNA-93(miR-93)在骨肉瘤组织中的表达,探讨其对骨肉瘤细胞的增殖及细胞周期的意义。方法:采用TagMan MGB探针法定量分析38例骨肉瘤组织及对应软骨组织中miR-93的表达;构建miR-93过表达载体,并合成miR-93的反义核苷酸序列,分别转染骨肉瘤细胞U2-OS和MG-63。采用MTT比色法检测骨肉瘤细胞增殖的改变情况,利用流式细胞仪检测骨肉瘤细胞周期的变化情况。结果:在38例骨肉瘤标本中,65.8%(25/38)的骨肉瘤组织miR-93表达明显高于对应软骨组织(P<0.05)。miR-93过表达载体可以促进骨肉瘤细胞的生长,使细胞周期G0/G1期明显降低,而S期比例明显增加;反义miR-93转染骨肉瘤细胞U2-OS和MG-63后,miR-93的表达明显降低,U2-OS和MG-63骨肉瘤细胞生长受到明显抑制,其生长主要停滞在 G0/G1期,而 S期和 G2/M期细胞的比例下降。结论:miR-93在骨肉瘤组织中表达明显上调,其可以通过调节细胞周期中G1/S期的转换而影响骨肉瘤细胞是生长,可能为骨肉瘤基因表达调控研究提供新的靶基因。

Abstract: Objective: To analyse the expression of microRNA-93 (miR-93) in osteosarcoma and investigate the effect of miR-93 on the proliferation and cell cycle in osteosarcoma cell lines. Methods: To detect the expression of miR-93 in 38 pairs of osteosarcoma and cartilaginous tissues using TagMan MGB Real-time PCR. To construct the miR-93 overexpressed vector and synthesis the miR-93 antisense nucleotide sequence. Then they were transfected into osteosarcoma cell lines U2-OS and MG-63. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. Results: 65.8%(25/38)of miR-93 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma compared to cartilaginous tissue (P<0.05). Overexpression of miR-93 could promote the growth of osteosarcoma cell lines and delay the cell cycle in S phase. The reduction of miR-93 could inhibit the growth of osteosarcoma cell lines and delay the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase. Conclusions: miR-93 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma and miR-93 could regulate the growth of osteosarcoma cells via mediating the transition of G1/S phase, which may become a targeted gene of osteosarcoma.
