Abstract

Background

MicroRNAs can promote or suppress the evolution of malignant behaviors by regulating multiple targets. We aimed to determine the expression of miR-301a recently screened in gastric cancer, to investigate the biological effects of miR-301a and to identify the specific miR-301a target gene.

Methods

Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to test miR-301a expression. Functional effects were explored by a water-soluble tetrazolium salt assay, a colony formation assay in soft agar, a migration assay, an invasion assay and cytometry used to determine apoptosis and cell cycle. Nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously by retrovirus-mediated stably expressed SGC-7901 cells. The target gene was determined by bioinformatic algorithms, dual luciferase reporter assay and Western blot.

Results

Firstly, we found that miR-301a was significantly upregulated both in cells and tissues of gastric cancer. The expression level of miR-301a was inversely correlated with tumor differentiation of gastric cancer tissues. Secondly, miR-301a promoted cell growth, soft agar clonogenicity, migration, invasion, and decreased cell apoptosis induced by cisplatin in vitro, while blockage of miR-301a reduced the percentage of G2/M phase cells via flow cytometry in gastric cancer cells. Ectopic expression of miR-301a enhanced the subcutaneous tumorigenesis in vivo. Finally, miR-301a directly downregulated RUNX3 expression post-transcriptionally in gastric cancer.

Conclusion

Our results demonstrate that miR-301a plays important roles in the development of gastric cancer.

Reizdarmsyndrom: Diäten wirksamer als Medikamente

29.04.2024 Reizdarmsyndrom Nachrichten

Bei Reizdarmsyndrom scheinen Diäten, wie etwa die FODMAP-arme oder die kohlenhydratreduzierte Ernährung, effektiver als eine medikamentöse Therapie zu sein. Das hat eine Studie aus Schweden ergeben, die die drei Therapieoptionen im direkten Vergleich analysierte.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
