MiR-202-3p negatively regulates MMP-1 to inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the common cancers. Studies show that MMP-1 is involved in tumor progression, yet relevant regulatory mechanism in LUAD remains to be further elucidated. Here, we demonstrated from bioinformatics analysis for GEO data that MMP-1 was differentially up-regulated in LUAD. miR-202-3p, identified as the upstream regulator of MMP-1 by both bioinformatics and dual-luciferase assays, was differentially down-regulated in LUAD and presented a negative correlation with MMP-1. Following cell biological experiments proved that knocking down the expression of MMP-1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells, while overexpressed miR-202-3p posed a similar suppressive effect on cancer progression. Additionally, rescue assay further identified that overexpression of MMP-1 attenuated the suppressive effect of up-regulated miR-202-3p on malignant progression of LUAD cells. In all, this research suggests a mechanism by which MMP-1 under the regulation of miR-202-3p modulates the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells, which may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-202-3p and its downstream target gene, ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2), in the occurrence and development of LUAD and elucidate the correlation between RRM2 and the clinicopathological stage and prognosis of LUAD.MethodsThe expression of miR-202-3p was analyzed using the CancerMIRNome database and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The effects of miR-202-3p and RRM2 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells were analyzed. A dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the targeting of miR-202-3p and RRM2. Additionally, the correlation between RRM2 expression and clinicopathology was analyzed.Results(I) MiR-202-3p was lowly expressed in LUAD and the LUAD cell lines. qPCR confirmed that microRNA (miRNA) transfection was effective and sufficient for subsequent experiments. (II) MiR-202-3p inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of LUAD cells. (III) There was a targeting relationship between miR-202-3p and RRM2, and miR-202-3p affected the expression of the RRM2 protein. RRM2 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissue. (IV) RRM2 was associated with the clinicopathological staging of lung cancer. The prognosis of patients with low RRM2 expression was better, and the prognostic sensitivity of RRM2 to lung cancer was high. RRM2 may exert its effects via the Notch pathway. (V) Si-RRM2 inhibited the expression of the RRM2 protein. RRM2 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells. A miR-202-3p inhibitor restored the inhibitory effect of si-RRM2 on LUAD cells.ConclusionsMiR-202-3p was lowly expressed in lung cancer tissue. MiR-202-3p overexpression inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of lung cancer cells. RRM2 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissue and promoted the proliferation and metastasis of lung cancer cells. MiR-202-3p targeted and inhibited RRM2, thereby reducing the proliferation and metastasis of LUAD cells. LUAD patients with low RRM2 expression had a better prognosis, and the expression level of RRM2 was correlated with the clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients.
