Effects of miR-200c on proliferation and apoptosis of tongue carcinoma Tca8113 cells / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-200c on proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcino-ma (TCCS)Tca8113 cells.Methods The mimics of miR-200c were transfected into Tca8113 cells using liposome.The Tca8113 cell proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)assay.The flow cytometry as-say was used to determine the cell cycle and the apoptosis rate of Tca8113 cell.The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in Tca8113 cell was detected by Western-blot.Results The 20,40,80 nmol/L miR-200c mimics groups inhibited the growth of Tca8113 cells,the difference compared with the control group showing statistical significance(P <0.05).The greater the miR-200c mimics concentration and the longer duration of action,the more significant the inhibition effect(P <0.05).After 48h transfecting by miR-200c mimics,the Tca8113 cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phases of cell cycle,and the apoptosis rate of the miR-200c mim-ics groups was significantly increased,the difference compared with the control group showing statistical significance(P <0.05);Western blot verified that the expression amount of Bcl-2 protein in the 20,40,80 nmol/L miR-200c groups was significantly lower than that in the control group,while the expression amount of Caspase-3 protein was significantly higher than that in the control group(P <0.05).Conclusion The overexpression of miR-200c might inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cell and induces their ap-optosis.
