Abstract

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a kind of lung cancer, because its high incidence has been concerned. Therefore, it has great significance to reveal the pathogenesis of NSCLC. As a transcriptional regulatory factor, MATF-A plays an important role in the development of multiple tumors, can regulate the migration process of a variety of tumor cells. HOTAIR is a long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) found in recent years, which expresses abnormally in multiple tumors and is involved in the proliferation and migration of multiple tumors. The aim of this study is to explore the role of MRTF-A through HOTAIR to regulate the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cell A549 cell.

Methods: We constructed the overexpression plasmid and interfering plasmid of MRTF-A, and detected the effect of MRTF-A on the proliferation and migration of A549 cells by CCK8 and wound healing methods respectively. Then, we designed the siRNA of HOTAIR to detect its effect on the proliferation and migration of A549 cells. Through qRT-PCR, we detected the effect of MRTF-A on HOTAIR expression. Finally, we constructed HOTAIR's promoter, and detect the effect of MRTF-A on HOTAIR promoter activity by luciferase reporter gene test.

Results: Overexpression of MRTF-A promotes the proliferation and migration of A549 cells, while silent MRTF-A inhibits its proliferation and migration. Next, we found that interfered HOTAIR expression inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells. We found that MRTF-A could influence the expression of HOTAIR and regulate the activity of HOTAIR promoter.

Conclusions: MRTF-A regulates the proliferation and migration of A549 cell through HOTAIR.

【中文题目:MRTF-A通过HOTAIR调控非小细胞肺癌细胞A549的增殖及迁移】 【中文摘要:背景与目的 非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)作为肺癌的一种,由于其高发病率一直备受关注。准确揭示其发病机制对于NSCLC的诊断以及治疗具有重要的指导意义。MATF-A作为转录调控因子在多种肿瘤的发生发展过程中发挥着重要作用,可以调控多种肿瘤细胞的迁移过程。HOTAIR是近年研究发现的一个长链非编码RNA,在多种肿瘤中异常表达并参与多种肿瘤的增殖及迁移的进程。本研究旨在探究MRTF-A通过HOTAIR调控NSCLC的增殖及迁移进程。方法 构建MRTF-A的过表达质粒及干扰质粒,检测对A549细胞增殖及迁移的影响。设计合成HOTAIR的siRNA检测对A549细胞增殖及迁移的作用。qRT-PCR检测MRTF-A对HOTAIR表达的调控作用。构建HOTAIR的启动子检测MRTF-A对HOTAIR启动子活性的影响。结果 过表达MRTF-A促进A549细胞的增殖,沉默MRTF-A的表达抑制A549细胞的增殖及迁移。干扰HOTAIR的表达抑制A549细胞的增殖及迁移。MRTF-A能够影响HOTAIR的表达,同时能够调控HOTAIR启动子的活性。结论 MRTF-A通过HOTAIR调控NSCLCA549细胞的增殖及迁移进程。】 【中文关键词:肺肿瘤; MRTF-A;HOTAIR;增殖;迁移】.
