To investigate the effects of miR-409-3p on epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of ovarian serous carcinoma HO-8910 cells by targeting ZEB1 and its underlying mechanism.
Methods
2
Control mimics and miR-409-3p mimics were transfected into HO-8910 cells by liposomes respectively
and qRT-PCR was adopted to detect the transfection efficiency. The expression of ZEB1
E-cadherin
N-cadherin
and Vimentin proteins in each cell group were examined by Western blotting
and the targeted regulation of ZEB1 by miR-409-3p was determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. Transwell invasion and migration assay was performed to observe the changes of invasion and migration abilities of the cells in each group.
Results
2
As compared with the control group
the expression of miR-409-3p was increased significantly in the miR-409-3p overexpression group (
P
<
0.05)
along with the elevation of E-cadherin expression (
P
<
0.05)
while the levels of ZEB1
N-cadherin and Vimentin were decreased remarkably (
P
<
0.05)
suggesting that the EMT process of HO-8910 cells was blocked. Furthermore
the results of dual luciferase reporter assay showed that ZEB1 was the direct target of miR-409-3p; overexpression of ZEB1 reversed the miR-409-3p mimics mediated repression of cell invasion
migration as well as EMT process (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Overexpression of miR-409-3p negatively regulates the EMT process by inhibiting ZEB1 expression
and thus suppresses the invasion and metastasis of ovarian serous carcinoma HO-8910 cells.
