miR-29 functions as an anti-metastatic microRNA in gastric adenocarcinoma by targeting ITGB1
Objective To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of miR-29 regulating ITGB1 in the invasion and migration of gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods MicroRNA array was used to screen out miRNAs which were expressed with significant differences in gastric cancer a
nd paracancer tissue. Bioinformatics was employed to predict the miRNAs related to ITGB1 regulation. Gastric cancer cells were infected by lentiviral vectors or transfected with miR-29 mimics to over-express miR-29. Western blotting was used to detect the changes of ITGB1 in gastric cancer cells. Dual luciferase assay was adopted to analyze the mechanism of miR-29 regulating ITGB1. Transwell invasion assay was accomplished to analyze cell invasion ability. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was adopted to detect the expression differences of miR-29 in 60 pairs of gastric cancer tissue and adjacent noncancerous tissues. The relationship between the expression and clinical pathological data was analyzed. Results MicroRNA array and bioinformatics prediction results supported that miR-29 was in a low expression in gastric carcinoma
and regulated ITGB1. Dual luciferase assay confirmed that miR-29 was bond to the 3′UTR of ITGB1. Western blotting suggestedthat ITGB1 was down-regulated as miR-29 over-expression. The results of qRT-PCR suggested that the relative expression of miR-29 in gastric cancer tissues was lower than in the adjacent noncancerous tissues (miR-29a: 14.16±6.25
vs
32.01±10.38; miR-29b: 9.82±1.86
vs
26.95±5.05; miR-29c: 16.79±1.97 vs 53.56±8.05
P
0.01). Statistical analysis showed that the expression of miR-29a was closely related with lymph node metastasis (
P
0.05). The expression ratio of miR-29b in gastric cancer tissues to adjacent noncancerous tissues was significantly lower in the tissue with distant metastasis (
P
0.05). Conclusion miR-29 regulates ITGB1 expression at post-transcriptional level
and then suppresses the invasion and metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma.
