  • ObjectiveTo explore the effect of LncRNA LRRC75A-AS1/miR-22-3p on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration in lung cancer cells.MethodsThe qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expressions of LRRC75A-AS1 and miR-22-3p in lung cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.Human lung cancer cells A549 were cultured in vitrol, si-NC, si-LRRC75A-AS1, si-LRRC75A-AS1 and anti-miR-NC, si-LRRC75A-AS1 and miR-22-3p inhibitor were transfected into A549 cells.The qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expressions of LRRC75A-AS1 and miR-22-3p in A549 cells.MTT assay and plate clone formation experiment were used to detect cell proliferation and clone formation ability, respectively.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate.Scratch test was used to detect cell migration ability.The dual luciferase reporter experiment was used to detect the targeting relationship between LRRC75A-AS1 and miR-22-3p.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of cleaved-caspase3 protein.ResultsCompared with adjacent tissues, the expression of LRRC75A-AS1 in lung cancer tissues was increased [(1.01±0.13) vs(4.59±0.34)](P < 0.01), and the expression level of miR-22-3p was decreased [(1.00±0.12)vs(0.28±0.04)](P < 0.01).Compared with the si-NC group, the cell survival rate of the si-LRRC75A-AS1 group was reduced[100%vs(54.45±2.21)%](P < 0.01), the number of clone formation was reduced[(121.00±5.10) vs(58.67±2.49)](P < 0.01), the apoptosis rate was increased[(8.42±0.34)%vs(25.59±0.80)%](P < 0.01), the protein level of cleaved-caspase3 was increased [(0.20±0.01)vs(0.68±0.05)](P < 0.01), and the rate of scratch healing was decreased [(66.71±1.43)%vs(32.56±0.95)%](P < 0.01).The dual luciferase report experiment confirmed that LRRC75A-AS1 could act as a competitive endogenous RNA for miR-22-3p.Compared with the si-LRRC75A-AS1+anti-miR-NC group, the cell survival rate of the si-LRRC75A-AS1+miR-22-3p inhibitor group was increased[(54.61±2.28)%vs(88.75±3.22)%](P < 0.01), the number of clones was increased [(57.67±2.49)vs(106.67±3.68)](P < 0.01), the apoptosis rate was decreased [(25.63±0.99)%vs(13.11±0.55)%](P < 0.01), the scratch healing rate was increased [(32.52±0.98)%vs(55.30±1.18)%](P < 0.01), and the protein level of cleaved-caspase3 was decreased[(0.67±0.06)vs(0.30±0.03)](P < 0.01).ConclusionsInhibiting the expression of LRRC75A-AS1 may reduce the proliferation, migration and clone formation ability of lung cancer cells by up-regulating miR-22-3p, which can induce cell apoptosis.

3.   讨论
  • LncRNA-miRNA-mRNA分子轴在肺癌发生及发展过程中的作用机制尚未完全阐明,LncRNA MALAT1通过调节miR-200a-3p促进非小细胞肺癌的进展[7]。LncRNA FEZF1-AS1通过调节WNT途径而增强非小细胞肺癌细胞上皮-间质转化(EMT)[8]。LncRNA linc00673通过充当miR-150-5p的海绵分子而调节非小细胞肺癌细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭及EMT[9]。LncRNA LINC00342通过靶向miR-203a-3p调节非小细胞肺癌细胞生长和转移[10]。但仍有部分LncRNA在肺癌中的作用机制尚未阐明。

    LRRC75A-AS1在结直肠癌中表达水平降低,但相关研究[11-12]表明LRRC75A-AS1在急性髓细胞性白血病中表达水平升高。本研究结果显示,肺癌组织中LRRC75A-AS1的表达水平升高,干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可明显降低肺癌细胞存活率,还可减少克隆形成数,提示干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可抑制肺癌细胞增殖及克隆形成能力。caspase3激活后形成Cleaved-caspase3从而诱导细胞凋亡[13-14]。本研究结果显示,干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可提高肺癌细胞凋亡率及Cleaved-caspase3的表达水平,提示干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可促进肺癌细胞凋亡。同时本研究结果显示,干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可明显降低划痕愈合率,提示干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可抑制肺癌细胞迁移。

    本研究证实LRRC75A-AS1可充当miR-22-3p的海绵分子,并可负向调控miR-22-3p的表达。LncRNA LINC00858通过充当miR-22-3p的竞争性内源RNA而促进结肠直肠癌细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭[15]。LncRNA DGCR5通过抑制miR-22-3p促进肺腺癌发展进程[16]。LncRNA NCK1-AS1通过miR-22-3p/IGF1R途径增强神经胶质瘤细胞的增殖[17]。LncRNA H19通过miR-22-3p/Snail1轴调控胃癌的细胞生长和转移[18]。本研究结果显示,肺癌组织中miR-22-3p的表达水平降低,抑制miR-22-3p可逆转干扰LRRC75A-AS1对肺癌细胞增殖、凋亡及迁移的作用。

    综上所述,肺癌组织中LRRC75A-AS1的表达水平升高,而miR-22-3p的表达水平降低,干扰LRRC75A-AS1表达可通过上调miR-22-3p的表达从而抑制肺癌细胞增殖、迁移及克隆形成能力,并可促进肺癌细胞凋亡。但LRRC75A-AS1是否可通过调控miR-22-3p及其靶基因表达从而发挥抗肺癌作用仍需进一步探究。
