The Effect of lncRNA-PVT1 on Liver Cancer Rats by Regulating the Expression of MMP9

As a malignant tumor, liver cancer has a high lethality rate. The research on the pathogenesis of liver cancer is the key to the treatment of liver cancer. The latest research claims that lncRNA-PVT1 as a tumor gene participates in the generation and development of tumors by regulating matrix metalloproteinase MMP9. The purpose of this article is to explore the specific effect and mechanism of lncRNA-PVT1 on liver cancer rats by regulating the expression of MMP9. In this article, 50 rats are used as experimental subjects, the rats are divided into control group and observation group, and the liver cancer cell line HepG2 is cultured. The transplanted tumor liver cancer model was constructed by transfection of hair, the expression of lncRNA-PVT1 in the observation group was reduced by knockdown method, the expression levels and changes of lncRNA-PVT1 and MMP9 in the two groups were detected by PCR fluorescence method, and the difference between lncRNA-PVT1 and MMP9 was analyzed. The MTT method was used to detect the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities of the two groups of liver cancer cells (LCC) and to explore the effect of lncRNA-PVT1 on rat LCC by regulating the expression of MMP9. The results of the study showed that after knocking down the expression of lncRNA-PVT1 in the observation group, the expression of MMP9 also decreased. At the same time, the migration rate of LCC HepG2 decreased by 27.4%, the level of invasion ability decreased by 21.6%, and the proliferation rate of LCC decreased by 17.8%. Therefore, it can be seen that lncRNA-PVT1 plays a positive regulatory role on the expression of MMP9, and the expression of MMP9 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of rat LCC.
