Effects of miRNA-676-3p on the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer by targeting PFDN1 / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between the relative expression of miRNA-676-3p and the survival of renal cancer patients, and its effect on the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer by targeting and regulating prefoldin 1 (PFDN1).Methods:OncoRank online software was selected to analyze the relationship between the relative expression of miRNA-676-3p and the survival rate of renal cancer patients. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the relative expression of miRNA-676-3p in renal cancer cell lines. Renal carcinoma CAKI1 cells were resuscitated, and the transfected miRNA-NC was used as the control group, and the transfected precursor miRNA-676-3p was used as the overexpression group. The relative expression of miRNA-676-3p was detected by RT-qPCR. The cell absorbance and invasion number of the two groups were measured by CCK-8 and Transwell invasion assays, respectively. The target gene of miRNA-676-3p was predicted and verified by referring to the TargetScan Release 8.0 website and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment. The expression of PFDN1 gene and Wnt/β-catenin molecular pathway protein in the two groups of cells were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:The survival rate of renal cancer patients with high expression of miRNA-676-3p was significantly higher than that of renal cancer patients with low expression of miRNA-676-3p, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The relative expression of miRNA-676-3p in renal cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that in normal renal tubular epithelial cells, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01), and the relative expression of miRNA-676-3p in CAKI1 cells was the lowest, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The relative expression levels of miRNA-676-3p in the control and overexpression groups were 1.04±0.59 and 15.90±1.70, respectively, and the overexpression group was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). After 24, 48, 60, and 72 h of culture, the absorbance of cells in the overexpression group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The number of invasion cells in the control group and the overexpression group were (115.90 ± 24.73) and (43.83 ± 21.94) cells, respectively, and the number of cell invasion in the overexpression group was significantly lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). PFDN1 was the downstream target gene of miRNA-676-3p ( P<0.01). The relative expression of PFDN1 gene in the overexpression group was significantly lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The expression of Wnt/β-catenin molecular pathway proteins in the overexpression group was lower than that in the control group. Conclusions:Renal cancer patients with high expression of miRNA-676-3p had a higher survival rate. miRNA-676-3p inhibited the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer CAKI1 cells by significantly down-regulating the expression of PFDN1, thereby inhibiting the development of renal cancer.
