摘要
目的微小RNA-363(miR-363)对人血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)的增殖及迁移的调控,并探讨其影响VSMCs生物学行为的机制。方法30μg/L血小板源性生长因子-BB(PDGF-BB)诱导原代培养的人VSMCs表型转化,实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(FQ-PCR)检测miR-363含量变化。miR-363模拟物及阴性对照(miR.NC)转染VSMCs,细胞计数试剂盒(CCK-8)和Transwell法分别检测细胞增殖、迁移,Western blot法检测表型标志蛋白的表达。生物信息学方法分析miR一363靶基因,Western blot法检测。结果PDGF-BB刺激72h后VSMCs向合成型表型改变,表型标志蛋白α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)表达下调28%(P〈0.05),碱性调宁蛋白(Calponin-1)无显著改变,miR-363的表达量下调70%(P〈0.01)。与miR-NC组比较,在72h,过表达miR-363组VSMCs增殖抑制32%(P〈0.05),迁移抑制30%(P〈0.05);且miR-363的靶基因Kruppel样因子4(KLF4)蛋白表达在转染24、48、72h后分别降低19%(P〈0.05)、52%(P〈0.01)和37%(P〈0.01),而其表型标志蛋白仅-SMA、Calponin-1表达无明显变化。结论miR-563可抑制人VSMCs的增殖和迁移,其作用可能是通过靶向KLF4来实现的。
Objective To investigate microRNA-363 (miR-363) regulation in proliferation and migration of human umbilical vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and explore the possible mechanisms of miR-363 affecting the biological behavior of VSMCs. Methods Primary cultured human umbilical VSMCs were treated with 30 μg/L of platelet derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) to induce phenotypic switch, and miR-363 expression was quantified by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reac- tion (FQ-PCR). VSMCs were transfected with miR-363 mimics and miR-NC for negative control, VSMCs proliferation and migration in both groups were evaluated using cell counting kit-8 assays (CCK-8) assay and Transwell migration assay, respectively; phenotypic proteins of α-SMA and Calponin-1 were detected by Western blotting analysis. Comparisons were made between the two groups. Target gene of miR-363 was predicted using bioinformatics analysis, and confirmed by Western blotting analysis. Results VSMCs switched to contractile phenotype 72 hours after they were co-cultured with PDGF-BB. Contractile pheno- type protein of α-SMA was down-regulated by 28% (P 〈 0. 05 ) ; the expression of miR-363 was down-reg- ulated by 70% (P 〈0. 01 ). Compared to miR-NC group, significant inhibition of proliferation and migra- tion were observed in miR-363 over-expressed VSMCs, by 32% and 30% , respectively at 72 hours (P 〈 O. 05). Krnppel-like factor 4 ( Klf4), the target gene of miR-363, was down-regulated by 19% (P 〈 O. 05) , 52% ( P 〈 0. O1 ) and 37% ( P 〈 O. 01 ) , respectively 24, 48 and 72 hours after VSMCs were transfected with miR-363 ; however, the expression of α-SMA and Calponin-1 were not significant. Con- clusion Our results suggest that up-regulation of miR-363 may inhibit proliferation and migration of human VSMCs, and these effects may be achieved partly through targeting the KLF4 expression.
