ABSTRACT: ObjectiveThis study set out to explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-130a-5p in cisplatin (DDP)-resistant gastric cancer (GC) cells.Materials and MethodsForty cases of GC and paracancerous tissues were collected, and the miR-130a-5p and CCL22 levels were detected by qRT-PCR. DDP-resistant cell lines of GC cells were established. Cell viability, invasion, and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry, respectively. The relationship between miR-130a-5p and CCL22 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter enzyme, and the protein levels of caspase-3, bax, bcl-2, and CCL22 were determined by Western blot.ResultsmiR-130a-5p was low expressed in GC tissues and cells, while CCL22 showed marked negative correlation, and the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosing GC was not less than 0.850. Up-regulating miR-130a-5p or knocking down CCL22 expression can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of GC cells and promote their apoptosis, reverse the resistance of NCI-N87/DDP to DDP, and also enhance the chemosensitivity of GC cells. Dual-luciferase reporter enzyme identified that there was a targeted relationship between miR-130a-5p and CCL22. At the same time, miR-130a-5p and CCL22 were up-regulated or down-regulated, and the malignant proliferation, invasion, apoptosis, and DDP chemotherapy resistance of the cells had no difference compared with miR-NC with transfection-unrelated sequences.ConclusionUp-regulating miR-130a-5p can enhance the sensitivity of DDP-resistant GC cells to chemotherapy and regulate their biological function by targeted inhibition of CCL22.
