摘要: 目的 探讨MiR-let-7g-3p靶向HMGB2对膀胱癌细胞生物学行为的影响及其分子机制。方法 通过qRT-PCR检测膀胱癌组织和癌旁组织以及正常尿路上皮细胞SV-HUC-1和膀胱癌细胞(T24、5637和EJ)中let-7g-3p的表达水平;通过转染过表达或敲低T24细胞let-7g-3p表达,检测细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭、和凋亡等变化;对过表达let-7g-3p的细胞进行转录组测序,结合生物信息学分析,通过双荧光素酶报告实验、qRT-PCR和Western-blot分析let-7g-3p靶向负性调控HMGB2基因;qRT-PCR检测正常尿路上细胞和膀胱癌细胞(T24、5637和EJ)中HMGB2的表达水平,并且在敲低HMGB2的细胞株中,敲低let-7g-3p,检测细胞生物学行为改变。结果 qRT-qPCR证实let-7g-3p在膀胱癌组织和细胞表达明显下调(P<0.01);过表达let-7g-3p可抑制细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭,促进细胞凋亡(P<0.01);相反,敲减let-7g-3p表达可促进细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭,抑制细胞凋亡(P<0.01)。生物信息学和转录组测序结果显示,HMGB2是let-7g-3p作用于膀胱癌细胞的关键分子;双荧光素酶报告实验、qRT-PCR和Westernblot显示,HMGB2受let-7g-3p的负性调控;HMGB2膀胱癌细胞中表达水平均明显上调(P<0.01),敲低HMGB2可部分逆转敲低let-7g-3p对膀胱癌细胞生长的促进作用。结论 MiRNA-let-7g-3p通过靶向负性调控HMGB2基因抑制膀胱癌细胞的生物行为。

Abstract: Objective To explore the molecular mechanism by which microRNA let-7g-3p regulates biological behaviors of bladder cancer cells. Methods The expression levels of let-7g-3p in bladder cancer and adjacent tissues, normal bladder epithelial cells (HUC cells) and bladder cancer cells (T24, 5637 and EJ cells) were detected using qRT- PCR. T24 cells were transfected with let-7g-3p mimic or inhibitor, and the changes in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were examined. Transcriptome sequencing was carried out in cells overexpressing let-7g-3p, and the results of bioinformaticsanalysis, double luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT- PCR and Western blotting confirmed that HMGB2 gene was the target gene of let-7g-3p. The expression of HMGB2 was examined in HUC, T24, 5637 and EJ cells, and in cells with HMGB2 knockdown, the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors were observed. Results qRT-qPCR confirmed that let-7g-3p expression was significantly lower in bladder cancer tissues and cells (P<0.01). Overexpression of let-7g-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis, while let-7g-3p knock-down produced the opposite effects. Bioinformatics and transcriptome sequencing results showed that HMGB2 was the key molecule that mediate the effect of let-7g-3p on bladder cancer cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and Western blotting all confirmed that HMGB2 was negatively regulated by let-7g-3p (P<0.01). Knocking down HMGB2 could partially reverse the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors of the bladder cancer cells. Conclusion The microRNA let-7g-3p can inhibit the biological behavior of bladder cancer cells by negatively regulating HMGB2 gene.
