Breast cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence in women of the world. CXCR4 and Skp2 are highly expressed in breast cancer cells and CXCR4 was positively correlated with Skp2 by interference or overexpression. The microRNA array was used to detect the differentially expressed spectrum of micro RNAs in breast cancer cells the changes of miR-7-5p after CXCR4 inhibitor (NT21MP) treatment to block the CXCR4/SDF-1 pathway was founded. MiR-7-5p has been found to be correlated with Skp2 in various tumors in the literature, and Skp2 expression can be regulated by transfection with miR-7-5p mimics or inhibitors. The expression level of miR-7-5p was upregulated or downregulated after CXCR4 interference or overexpression. Combined with the correlation between CXCR4 and miR-7-5p in the chip results, CXCR4 may regulate Skp2 through miR-7-5p. Epithelial cells have the morphological characteristics of mesenchymal cells for some reason called epithelial–mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Transfection of miR-7-5p mimics into drug-resistant cells reduced Skp2 levels, decreased the expression of Vimentin, Snail, and slug, and increased the expression of E-cadherin. CXCR4 inhibitor (NT21MP) can reverse the EMT changes caused by miR-7-5p inhibitor. Similarly, in vivo results suggesting that CXCR4 inhibitors can reverse the EMT phenotype of drug-resistant breast cancer cells through the CXCR4/miR-7-5p/Skp2 pathway. In summary, the CXCR4/miR-7-5p/Skp2 signaling pathway plays an important role in the progression of breast cancer. This study provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of breast cancer by targeting the CXCR4 pathway. 相似文献

先前的研究表明,miR-150-5p发挥抑癌基因的作用,调控肿瘤细胞的侵袭与转移。然而,关于其在乳腺癌细胞侵袭与转移中的机制尚不明确。本实验旨在研究miR-150-5p负向调控Rab1A在乳腺癌细胞上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)中的作用。双荧光素酶的结果显示,miR-150-5p可负向调控Rab1A。荧光定量PCR (qRT-PCR) 结果显示,miR-150-5p在乳腺癌细胞MCF-7及MDA-MB-231(MDA-231)中的表达水平明显低于正常乳腺上皮细胞MCF-10A; 在MDA-231中过表达miR-150-5p后,qRT-PCR结果显示,Rab1A mRNA的表达水平明显降低。Western印迹结果显示,过表达miR-150-5p后,miR-150-5p组细胞中的Rab1A、波形蛋白(vimentin)及N-钙黏着蛋白(N-cadherin)的表达水平相对于对照组(NC)细胞明显降低,而E-钙黏着蛋白(E-cadherin)的表达水平明显增加。Transwell侵袭和划痕实验显示,与miR-150-5p+Con组细胞相比,miR-150-5p+Rab1A组细胞的侵袭和迁移能力明显增加。qRT-PCR结果显示,miR-150-5p+Rab1A组细胞的Rab1A mRNA表达水平明显增加。Western印迹结果显示,miR-150-5p+Rab1A组细胞中的波形蛋白、N-钙黏着蛋白表达水平明显增加,
而E-钙黏着蛋白表达明显降低,过表达Rab1A后显著逆转了miR-150-5p对EMT的影响。综上所述,miR-150-5p可以通过负向调控Rab1A抑制EMT,进而抑制乳腺癌细胞的侵袭和迁移。 相似文献

Despite the fact that radiotherapy is a main therapeutic modality in cancer treatment, recent evidence suggests that fractionated radiotherapy (FR) might confer radioresistance through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Nevertheless, the effects of FR on EMT phenotype and the potential link between EMT induction and radioresistance development yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to assess whether FR could promote EMT, and to elucidate if induction of EMT contributes to the acquisition of radioresistance. To this end, two human cancer cell lines (A549 and HT-29) were irradiated (2 Gy/day) and analyzed using wound healing, transwell migration and invasion assays, real-time polymerase chain reaction (for E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, CD44, CD133, Snail, and Twist), clonogenic assay, Annexin V/PI, and 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Irradiation of A549 (for 5 or 10 consecutive days) resulted in morphological changes including elongation of cytoplasm and nuclei and pleomorphic nuclei. Also, irradiation-enhanced migratory and invasive potential of A549. These phenotypic changes were in agreement with decreased expression of the epithelial marker (E-cadherin), enhanced expression of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, and Twist) and increased stemness factors (CD44 and CD133). Moreover, induction of EMT phenotype was accompanied with enhanced radioresistance and proliferation of irradiated A549. However, FR (for 5 consecutive days) did not increase HT-29 motility. Furthermore, molecular alterations did not resemble EMT phenotype (downregulation of E-cadherin, Vimentin, ALDH, CD44, CD133, and Snail). Eventually, FR led to enhanced radiosensitivity and decreased proliferation of HT-29. Altogether, our findings suggest that FR might induce EMT and confer radioresistance in a cell context-dependent manner. 相似文献

Whether epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is always linked to increased tumorigenicity is controversial. Through microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling of mammary epithelial cells overexpressing Twist, Snail or ZEB1, we identified miR-100 as a novel EMT inducer. Surprisingly, miR-100 inhibits the tumorigenicity, motility and invasiveness of mammary tumor cells, and is commonly downregulated in human breast cancer due to hypermethylation of its host gene MIR100HG. The EMT-inducing and tumor-suppressing effects of miR-100 are mediated by distinct targets. While miR-100 downregulates E-cadherin by targeting SMARCA5, a regulator of CDH1 promoter methylation, this miRNA suppresses tumorigenesis, cell movement and invasion in vitro and in vivo through direct targeting of HOXA1, a gene that is both oncogenic and pro-invasive, leading to repression of multiple HOXA1 downstream targets involved in oncogenesis and invasiveness. These findings provide a proof-of-principle that EMT and tumorigenicity are not always associated and that certain EMT inducers can inhibit tumorigenesis, migration and invasion. 相似文献

先前研究表明,miR-186-5p在人类许多恶性肿瘤中扮演抑癌基因的作用,但其在肺腺癌上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)中的作用并不明确。本研究旨在证明,miR-186-5p可通过靶向调控PTTG1抑制肺腺癌细胞的上皮-间质转化。我们首先分析了miR-186-5p在人肺癌细胞中的表达。荧光定量PCR(QRT-PCR)结果显示,与人正常肺上皮细胞BEAS-2B相比,肺腺癌细胞SPC-A1、A549中的miR-186-5p表达量明显降低。为研究miR-186-5p在肺腺癌细胞中的功能,利用GV369-miR-186-5p表达载体,实现了在A549细胞中的过表达。基因转染结合Transwell侵袭结果显示,与对照质粒转染的A549细胞相比,过表达miR-186-5p的A549细胞的体外侵袭能力明显下降。Western印迹检测细胞中EMT相关标志物揭示,GV369-miR-186-5p转染的A549细胞中的上皮-钙黏着蛋白(E-cadherin)表达明显上调,而神经-钙黏着蛋白(N-cadherin)和波形蛋白(vimentin)表达明显下调。同时,GV369-miR-186-5p转染引起其靶基因--垂体肿瘤转化基因1(pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1,PTTG1)编码蛋白在A549细胞中明显降低。重要的是,过表达miR-186-5p与敲减PTTG1均可导致上皮-钙黏着蛋白表达上调,而神经-钙黏着蛋白和波形蛋白下调|而miR-186-5p和PTTG1表达载体共转染后,3种EMT相关标志物在A549的表达与对照细胞的表达无明显差异,提示过表达PTTG1可抵消miR-186-5p对EMT相关标志物表达的影响。综上所述,miR-186-5p可通过靶向调控PTTG1抑制EMT的发生,进而抑制肺腺癌细胞的侵袭转移。 相似文献

MicroRNA-17-5p (miR-17-5p) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been reported to participate in the development and progression of multiple cancers. However, the relationship between the miR-17-5p and EMT in osteosarcoma (OS) is still poorly understood. This study was to investigate the effects of the miR-17-5p and its potential mechanism in regulating proliferation, apoptosis, and EMT of human OS. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the miR-17-5p and SRC kinase signaling inhibitor 1 (SRCIN1) messenger RNA expression in OS specimens and cell lines. After transfection with miR-17-5p inhibitors, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of OS cells were assessed by using the Cell Counting Kit-8, the annexin V-FITC apoptosis, wound-healing, and transwell assays. The SRCIN1 was validated as a target of the miR-17-5p through bioinformatics algorithms and luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, the expression of EMT markers, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Snail was identified by the Western blot analysis. MiR-17-5p was significantly upregulated in OS tumor samples and cell lines. It inhibited proliferation and EMT, and promoted apoptosis in OS. The SRCIN1 was identified as a direct target of the miR-17-5p. Silenced miR-17-5p could change the expression of EMT markers, such as upregulating the expression of E-cadherin, and downregulating the expression of N-cadherin and Snail through targeting the antioncogenic SRCIN1. These findings suggest that the miR-17-5p promotes cell proliferation, and EMT in human OS by directly targeting the SRCIN1, and reveal a branch of the miR-17-5p/SRCIN1/EMT signaling pathway involved in the progression of OS. 相似文献

miR-219-5p has been reported to act as either a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter in different cancers by targeting different genes. In the present study, we demonstrated that miR-219-5p negatively regulated the expression of TBXT, a known epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) inducer, by directly binding to TBXT 3′-untranslated region. As a result of its inhibition on TBXT expression, miR-219-5p suppressed EMT and cell migration and invasion in breast cancer cells. The re-introduction of TBXT in miR-219-5p overexpressing cells decreased the inhibitory effects of miR-219 on EMT and cell migration and invasion. Moreover, miR-219-5p decreased breast cancer stem cell (CSC) marker genes expression and reduced the mammosphere forming capability of cells. Overall, our study highlighted that TBXT is a novel target of miR-219-5p. By suppressing TBXT, miR-219-5p plays an important role in EMT and cell migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Invasion and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) results in poor prognosis. Human intervention in these pathological processes may benefit the treatment of HCC. The aim of the present study is to elucidate the mechanism of miR-140-3p affecting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion, and metastasis in HCC. Microarray analysis was performed for differentially expressed genes screening. The target relationship between miR-140-3p and GRN was analyzed. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against granulin (GRN) was synthesized. EMT markers were detected, and invasion and migration were evaluated in HCC cells introduced with a miR-140-3p inhibitor or mimic, or siRNA against GRN. A mechanistic investigation was conducted for the determination of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway-related genes and EMT markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin). GRN was highlighted as an upregulated gene in HCC. GRN was a target gene of miR-140-3p. Elevation of miR-140-3p or inhibition of GRN restrained the EMT process and suppressed the HCC cell migration and invasion. HCC cells treated with the miR-140-3p mimic or siRNA-GRN exhibited decreased GRN expression and downregulated the expressions of the MAPK signaling pathway-related genes, N-cadherin, and Vimentin but upregulated the expression of E-cadherin. GRN silencing can reverse the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and induction of EMT mediated by miR-140-3p inhibition. Taken together, the results show that miR-140-3p confers suppression of the MAPK signaling pathway by targeting GRN, thus inhibiting EMT, invasion, and metastasis in HCC. 相似文献

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important cellular process, occurs during cancer development and progression, has a crucial role in metastasis by enhancing the motility of tumor cells. Dioscin is a polyphenolic component isolated from Phyllanthus amarus, which exhibits a wide range of pharmacological and physiological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activities. However, the possible role of dioscin in the EMT is unclear. We investigated the suppressive effect of dioscin on the EMT. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) is known to induce EMT in a number of cancer cell types and promote lung adenocarcinoma migration and invasion. To verify the inhibitory role of dioscin in lung cancer migration and invasion, we investigated the use of dioscin as inhibitors of TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 lung cancer cells in vitro. Here, we found that dioscin prominently increased expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin and expression of the mesenchymal marker N-cadherin and Snail during the TGF-β1-induced EMT. In addition, dioscin inhibited the TGF-β1-induced increase in cell migration and invasion of A549 lung cancer cells. Also, dioscin remarkably inhibited TGF-β1-regulated activation of MMP-2/9, Smad2, and p38. Taken together, our findings provide new evidence that dioscin suppresses lung cancer migration, and invasion in vitro by inhibiting the TGF-β1-induced EMT. 相似文献

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a pivotal event in the invasive and metastatic potentials of cancer progression. Celastrol inhibits the proliferation of a variety of tumor cells including leukemia, glioma, prostate, and breast cancer; however, the possible role of celastrol in the EMT is unclear. We investigated the effect of celastrol on the EMT. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) induced EMT-like morphologic changes and upregulation of Snail expression. The downregulation of E-cadherin expression and upregulation of Snail in Madin–Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) and A549 cell lines show that TGF-β1-mediated the EMT in epithelial cells; however, celastrol markedly inhibited TGF-β1-induced morphologic changes, Snail upregulation, and E-cadherin expression. Migration and invasion assays revealed that celastrol completely inhibited TGF-β1-mediated cellular migration in both cell lines. These findings indicate that celastrol downregulates Snail expression, thereby inhibiting TGF-β1-induced EMT in MDCK and A549 cells. Thus, our findings provide new evidence that celastrol suppresses lung cancer invasion and migration by inhibiting TGF-β1-induced EMT. 相似文献
