Background and purpose: PDCD4 may be inhibited by miR-21 to regulate the malignant behaviors of colon cancer such as invasion and migration. This study aimed to explore the function of colon cancer HT-29 cell lines by downregulating miR-21 expression and discuss the mechanisms and relationship between miR-21 and PDCD4 in colon cancer malignant behaviors. Methods: simiR-21 was transfected into colon cancer cell line HT- 29 to downregulate the expression of miR-21. Proliferation
apoptosis
migration and invasion were detected by MTT
flow cytometry and Transwell assay after transfection. PDCD4 expression was detected by Western blot and qRTPCR. Results: The qRT-PCR analysis result proved that the transfection efficiency was 60%-65%. MTT analysis result showed that the proliferations of HT-29 cells were inhibited after the transfection of miR-21 for 72
96
120 h (t=1.276
P0.05; t=3.276
P0.01; t=4.523
P0.01). Comparing with si-negative control and miR-21 groups
flow cytometry result showed that the apoptosis rate was increased after miR-21 expression downregulated (t=2.132
P0.05; t=3.524
P0.05). Transwell assay result showed that migration (t=2.423
P0.05; t=3.153
P0.05) and invasion(t=3.245
P0.05; t=5.236
P0.05) were inhibited; Western blot result showed that PDCD4 expression was up-regulated at protein level(t=2.342
P0.05; t=4.215
P0.05); qRT-PCR result showed that PDCD4 expression was up-regulated at mRNA level(t=2.261
P0.05; t=3.492
P0.05). Conclusion: The proliferation
migration and invasion are the inhibited
and apoptosis is attenuated after miR-21 downregulated by simiR-21 transfection
PDCD4 expression is up- regulated. miR-21 may enhance the malignant behavior of cancer cells by downregulating the PDCD4 expression
miR- 21 might be a target gene for colon cancer therapy.
