Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of targeting silence of P65 gene by miRNA on adhesion and invasion of human triplenegative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDAMB231 in vitro and its possible mechanism. Methods: Three pairs of miRNAs specifically targeting P65 gene (P65miRNA1, P65miRNA2 and P65miRNA3) were designed and transfected into MDAMB231 cells, the level of P65 protein was detected by Western blotting, and P65miRNA with best silencing result was selected and used in the following experiments. The adhesive and invasive abilities of MDAMB231 cells before and after transfection were measured by adhesion assay and Transwell assay, respectively. mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase2 (MMP2) and MMP9 were detected by RTPCR and the activities of MMP2 and MMP9 were examined by gelatin zymography assay. Results: P65miRNA1, P65miRNA2 and P65miRNA3 plasmids were successfully constructed, P65miRNA1 and P65miRNA2, but not P65miRNA3, tranfection strongly inhibited the expression of P65 protein in MDAMB231 cells (>80%). The adhesion of MDAMB231 cells was not significantly influenced by P65miRNA1 and P65miRNA2 transfection (P>0.05), while the invasive ability of MDAMB231 cells was significantly reduced after P65miRNA1 or P65miRNA2 transfection (0.371±0.039, 0.309±0.046 vs 0.698±0065, P<0.05). Besides, mRNA expression of MMP2 (0.281±0.018, 0.478±0.023 vs 1.056±0.072, 1.128±0.059, P<0.05) and MMP9 (0.193±0.013, 0.371±0.035 vs 1.206±0.069, 1.089±0.057, P<0.05) and activities of MMP2 and MMP9 in MDAMB231 cells after P65miRNA1 or P65miRNA2 transfection were significantly decreased. Conclusion: Targeting silence of P65 expression can inhibit in vitro invasion of TNBC MDAMB231cells, which is related to the downregulation of MMP2 and MMP9 expression and their activities.
