ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate whether microRNA-588 was involved in the development and progression of renal cancer, and to explore its possible regulatory mechanisms. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Tumor tissues excised from renal carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues were selected for the experiment. Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to analyze the expression level of microRNA-588 in tissue specimens. The relationship between the expression of microRNA-588 and the prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma was also evaluated. Subsequently, two renal cancer cell lines, including769-P and 786-O, were selected for functional experiments in vitro. Eukaryotic initiation factor 5A2 (pcDNA-EIF5A2) or microRNA-588 mimics was transfected into 769-P cells, respectively. Meanwhile, si-EIF5A2 or microRNA-588 inhibitor was transfected into 786-O cells. After that, the mRNA expression level of EIF5A2 was detected by qRT-PCR. The invasiveness and metastasis abilities of the two cell lines were evaluated via transwell assay. Furthermore, the levels of EIF5A2 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins were analyzed using Western blot. Luciferase reporter gene assay was used to confirm that microRNA-588 could directly regulate EIF5A2 expression. QRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to explore the mRNA and protein expressions of EIF5A2 in patients with highly or lowly-expressed microRNA-588. The correlation between the two molecules was evaluated using linear analysis. Through the above experiments, it was verified whether microRNA-588 could enhance the invasiveness and metastasis of renal cancer by targeting EIF5A2.RESULTS:
MicroRNA-588 expression in tumor tissues of patients with renal carcinoma was significantly decreased with the increase of tumor diameter and stage. A higher level of microRNA-588 indicated significantly longer overall survival of patients. This suggested that microRNA-588 expression was negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients. Overexpression of microRNA-588 remarkably reduced the invasion and metastasis abilities of 769-P cells, as well as the expressions of EMT-related proteins. However, opposite results were observed in 786-O cells after knockdown of microRNA-588. Reporter gene assay confirmed that microRNA-588 could target bind to EIF5A2. In 769-P cells, up-regulated microRNA-588 significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expressions of EIF5A2. However, down-regulated microRNA-588 in 786-O cells significantly enhanced the expressions of EIF5A2 at both mRNA and protein levels. Linear analysis verified that microRNA-588 was negatively correlated with EIF5A2 at the mRNA level. Additionally, the up-regulation of EIF5A2 in 769-P cells enhanced the malignancy of cancer cells and the expressions of EMT-related proteins. However, in 786-O cells, opposite results were observed after knockdown of EIF5A2.CONCLUSIONS:
MicroRNA-588 was lowly expressed in renal cancer tissues and cell lines. This might lead to an increase in the protein level of EIF5A2, eventually promoting tumor invasion and metastasis.
