Abstract:
[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-135a on the malignant biological behaviors of human laryngeal carcinoma epithelial Hep-2 cells and its sensitivity to oxaliplatin. Methods: Samples of laryngeal carcinoma tissues and para-cancerous tissues were collected from 10 patients who underwent laryngectomy in Nanyang Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University-Nanyang City Center Hospital from January 2018 to June 2018. The expression of miR-135a in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and Hep-2 cells was detected by qPCR. After being transfected with miR-135 inhibitor, cell proliferation viability of Hep-2 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay, cell colony formation ability was detected by colony formation assay, and cell proliferation invasion and migration abilities were detected by Transwell analysis, and the expression of SOX2 protein in Hep-2 cells was detected by WB. Hep-2 cells transfected with miR-135 in-hibitor were further treated with various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 μmol/L) of oxaliplatin, and the cell proliferation viability was detected by CCK-8 while cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V-FITC/PI double staining flow cytometry. miR-135a inhibitor plasmid, control pcDNA empty vector (SOX2-Con) plasmid, and pcDNA-SOX2 (SOX2-OE) plasmid were transfected into Hep-2 cells to construct the miR-135a inhibitor+SOX2-Con group and miR-135a inhibitor+SOX2-OE group, and the cell viability, cell colony formation ability, cell invasion and migration ability in two groups were detected. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues, miR-135a expression in laryngeal cancer tissues was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with normal NHP cells, miR-135a expression in Hep-2 cells was significantly increased (P<0.01). miR-135a inhibitor significantly reduced the expression level of miR-135a in Hep-2 cells (P<0.01). miR-135a knockdown significantly reduced the cell proliferation viability, cell colony number, migration, invasion and SOX2 expression in Hep-2 cells (all P <0.01), but significantly enhanced the sensitivity of Hep-2 cells to oxaliplatin (P<0.01).Compared with miR-135a inhibitor+SOX2-Con group, the cell proliferation viability, cell colony number, migration and invasion of Hep-2 cells in miR-135a inhibitor+SOX2-OE group were significantly increased (P<0.01); Meanwhile, the cells of the 2 groups were treated with different concentrations of oxaliplatin, and the results of CCK-8 assay showed that, compared with the miR-135a inhibitor+ SOX2-Con group, the cell proliferation viability of Hep-2 cells in miR-135a inhibitor+SOX2-OE group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-135a knockdown inhibits the malignant biological behaviors and promotes oxaliplatin-sensitivity of Hep-2 cells possibly by inhibiting the expression of the transcription factor SOX2.
