MicroRNA-497 induces apoptosis through downregulating XIAP in hepatic cancer

چکیده
Hepatic cancer is one of the important malignant tumors in digestive system. MicroRNAs regulate cell growth and other cell behaviors through signaling pathway. This study investigated the role of microRNA-497 on LM3 cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis. MicroRNA-497 and scramble microRNA (miRNA) were synthetized and transfected to hepatic cancer cell line LM3 using lipofectamine. LM3 cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT assay, caspase-3 activity detection, and flow cytometry. XIAPL siRNA or plasmid was synthetized and transfected to LM3 cells before microRNA-497 transfection. XIAP protein expression was detected by Western blot. MicroRNA-497 transfection obviously reduced LM3 cell proliferation (P = 0.0068), increased phosphatidylserine eversion (P = 0.017), enhanced caspase-3 activation (P = 0.023), and downregulated XIAP expression level (P = 0.024). XIAP interference enhanced the effect of microRNA-497 on inducing LM3 cell apoptosis (P = 0.0067), while XIAP overexpression inhibited LM3 cell apoptosis triggered by microRNA-497 (P = 0.0082). MicroRNA-497 suppressed hepatic cancer cell line LM3 cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis through downregulating XIAP, suggesting that XIAP might be a potential treatment target for hepatic cancer.

متن کاملChetomin induces degradation of XIAP and enhances TRAIL sensitivity in urogenital cancer cells.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is one of the most promising anti-cancer agents, but some tumor types develop resistance to TRAIL. Here, we report that chetomin, an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factors, is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. TRAIL or chetomin alone weakly induced apoptosis, but the combination of chetomin and TRAIL synergistically ind...

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) accounts for 90% of all ovarian cancer, which is the third most common gynaecological malignancy worldwide. Dysregulation of miRNAs is involved in the development of different types of EOC. The present study was designed to investigate the role of abnormal expression of miR-215 in the development of EOC and to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms. mRNA exp...
