Abstract
AIM
To investigate the role of miR-133 in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer (GC) cells, and to explore the underlying mechanism.
METHODS
The expression of miR-133 and JAK2 mRNA in tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. AGS and MGC-803 cells were transfected with miR-133 mimic (miR-133 group), miR-133 inhibitor (miR-133 inhibitor group), nonspecific inhibitor (inhibitor-NC group), psiCHECK2-JAK2-3 UTR WT vector and miR-133 mimic (JAK2 WT group), psiCHECK2-JAK2-3 UTR MUT vector and miR-133 mimic (JAK2 MUT group), miR-133 mimic and JAK2 (miR-133 + JAK2 group), or miR-133 mimic and pc-DNA 3.1 (miR-133 + vector group) using a liposome-mediated method. Untransfected cells (miR-NC group) were also included as a control. The protein expression of JAK2 was detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Cell migration and invasion were detected by Transwell assay. The luciferase activity was detected by double luciferase reporter assay.
RESULTS
Compared with human paracancerous tissues or normal gastric mucosal cells (GES-1), miR-133 was down-regulated in GC tissues and GC cells (AGS and MGC-803), and JAK2 was highly expressed in GC tissues and AGS and MGC-803 cells (P < 0.05). Overexpression of miR-133 or silencing JAK2 could inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GC cells. JAK2 is a target of miR-133, and JAK2 could rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-133 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GC cells.
CONCLUSION
MiR-133 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells via mechanisms possibly related to targeting of JAK2, which will provide a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GC.
