摘要
目的:探讨miR-520h对缺氧状态下人牙周膜细胞(HPDLCs)MMP-2表达的影响。方法:将HPDLCs置于1%氧浓度的孵箱中培养0、12、24、48和72 h。用实时荧光定量RT-PCR(qRT-PCR)和Western blot检测细胞中MMP-2 mRNA和蛋白的表达。构建野生型和突变型MMP-2表达载体,用TargetScan和miRanda等软件预测作用于MMP-2基因3'-UTR靶向miRNA,双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统验证靶向MMP-2 3'-非翻译区(3'-UTR)的miRNA。用qRT-PCR和Western blot技术检测miR-520h对MMP-2表达的调控。结果:HPDLCs在缺氧培养中MMP-2 mRNA和蛋白的表达量明显下调(P<0.01)。软件预测在MMP-2的3'-UTR 516bp位置有一个与miR-520h的结合位点,HPDLCs被转染pre-miR-520后,其表达量增高(P<0.01),MMP-2载体的荧光素酶活性降低(P<0.05)。miR-520h都抑制了HPDLCs中MMP-2 mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.05)。结论:miR-520h可抑制缺氧状态下牙周膜细胞MMP-2基因表达。
Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-520h on MMP-2 expression in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) under hypoxia. Methods: HPDLCs were exposed to 1% oxygen for 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect MMP-2 mRNA and protein expression in the cells. The wild type and mutation type of MMP-2 gene 3'-UTR luciferase vectors were constructed. TargetScan and miranda software were applied to predict the MMP-2 3'UTR targeting miRNA. Dual-luciferase reporter gene system was used to screen the predicted miRNA targeting 3'-untranslat-ed region(3'-UTR)of MMP-2 gene. The effects of miR-520h regulating MMP-2 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by qRT-PCR and Westem blot. Results: In HPDLCs MMP-2 mRNA and protein were decreased under hypoxia(P 〈0.01 ). MMP-2 gene con- tained a miR-520h binding site at the 516 bp in 3'- UTR. Trasfection of pre-miR-520h increased pre-miR-520h expression ( P 〈 0.01 ), decreased the luciferase activity of wild type MMP-2 3'-UTR vector in HPDLCs(P 〈0.05), inhibited MMP-2 mRNA and protein expres-sions(P 〈0.05). Conclusion: miR-520h can inhibit the expression of MMP-2 in human periodontal ligament cells under hypoxia.
