Effects of miR-496 on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells through regulation of LYN / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the expression of miR-496 in gastric cancer cells, and explore its role and mechanism in the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-496 in normal gastric epithelial cell lines and gastric cancer cell lines AGS and MKN45. miR-496 was knocked down in AGS cells with the lowest expression level, and a negative control group and a blank control group were set up. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry. LYN, the target gene of miR-496, was screened using bioinformatics software, and the effect of transfection of miR-496 on LYN expression was detected by qPCR. Subsequently, rescure experiment was conducted to further study the mechanism of miR-496 on gastric cancer cells through regulation of LYN. Data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 9 software. Measurement data were presented as mean ± standard deviation, and the comparison between the two groups was performed by t test. Results:The expression of miR-496 in AGS and MKN45 was significantly lower than that in normal gastric epithelial cells ( P<0.05). After overexpression of miR-496, the proliferation of AGS cells could be inhibited and the apoptosis ratio of AGS cells could be significantly increased ( P<0.05). QPCR results showed that miR-496 overexpression group could inhibit the expression of LYN ( P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-496 binds to LYN kinase ( LYN) 3 ′UTR region, and overexpression of miR-496 can inhibit the expression of LYN in AGS cells, while CCK8 rescue experiment showed that overexpression of LYN could remove the inhibitory effect of miR-496 on cell proliferation. Flow cytometry showed that LYN expression could cancel the promoting effect of miR-496 on apoptosis ( P<0.05). Conclusion:miR-496 is low expressed in gastric cancer cells, and it inhibits the proliferation and promotes apoptosis of gastric cancer cells by targeting the expression of LYN in gastric cancer cells.
