Inhibition of miR-19a partially reversed the resistance of colorectal cancer to oxaliplatin via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway.

ABSTRACT: Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug that is effective and commonly used in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, long-term use of oxaliplatin usually induces significant drug resistance. It is urgent to develop strategies to reverse the oxaliplatin resistance to CRC cells. In the present study, we established the model of oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell lines (SW480/R and HT29/R) through continuous treatment of SW480 and HT29 cells with oxaliplatin. Results of qRT-PCR analysis showed that expression of miR-19a was significantly increased in SW480/R and HT29/R compared to their parental SW480 and HT29. However, combination treatment with anti-miR-19a, an antisense oligonucleotide of miR-19a, was found to resensitize SW480/R and HT29/R cells to oxaliplatin treatment. In the mechanism research, we found that anti-miR-19a increased the expression of PTEN and thus inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT in SW480/R and HT29/R cells. As a result, mitochondrial apoptosis induced by oxaliplatin was expanded. We demonstrated that PTEN was the target of miR-19a and inhibition of miR-19a partially reversed the resistance of colorectal cancer to oxaliplatin via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the effects of microRNA (miR)?21 on osteoclastogenesis and its underlying molecular mechanisms. The expression levels of tartrate?resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and miR?21 were detected during osteoclastogenesis in receptor activator of NF??B ligand (RANKL)?induced RAW264.7 cells via reverse transcription?quantitative PCR. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to analyze the association between miR?21 and Pten. RANKL?induced RAW264.7 cells were divided into the following groups: MiR?negative control (NC), miR?21 mimic, miR?21 inhibitor and miR?21 mimic + LY294002. The effects of miR?21 on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption were then detected using TRAP staining and a bone resorption assay. Pten, phosphorylated?Akt and nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFATc1) expression levels were measured by western blotting to analyze the effects of miR?21 on the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The present study revealed that miR?21 was upregulated during osteoclastogenesis in RANKL?induced RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, miR?21 negatively regulated Pten. Compared with the miR?negative control (NC) group, the number of osteoclasts and the percentage of bone resorption were increased in the miR?21 mimic group, whereas they were decreased in the miR?21 inhibitor group. The number of osteoclasts and the percentage of bone resorption in the miR?21 mimic + LY294002 group were lower than in the miR?21 mimic group. Compared with the miR?NC group, the protein expression levels of Pten were decreased, whereas p?Akt and NFATc1 were increased in the miR?21 mimic group. Conversely, Pten protein expression was increased, whereas p?Akt and NFATc1 were decreased in the miR?21 inhibitor group. In the miR?21 mimic + LY294002 group, Pten protein expression was higher, and p?Akt and NFATc1 were lower than in the miR?21 mimic group. In conclusion, miR?21 is upregulated during osteoclastogenesis, and may promote osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption through activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway via targeting Pten.
