Abstract

BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and metastasis is the major cause of death in lung cancer patients. MiR-373 is closely associated with invasion and metastasis in other tumor cells. This study explored the expression of miR-373-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its effect on the invasive and metastatic capabilities of lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as their mechanisms of action.
METHODS: The expression of miR-373-3p in NSCLC tissues and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The roles of miR-373-3p in regulating lung adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastatic properties were analyzed with miR-373-3p mimic/inhibitor-transfected cells via Transwell chamber assay. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 and MMP-14 protein levels were detected by Western blot in lung cancer cells after transfection.
RESULTS: MiR-373-3p was upregulated in 51 NSCLC tissues and 5 NSCLC cell lines. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that overexpression of miR-373-3p promoted H1299 cell migration and invasion, which resulted in upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14. By contrast, miR-373-3p knockdown inhibited these processes in A549 cells and downregulated the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-14.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that miR-373-3p participated in the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells, partly by upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14.

肺癌位居全球男性和女性癌症病死率的首位,且呈逐年上升的趋势[。肺癌主要分为小细胞肺癌和非小细胞肺癌,其中非小细胞肺癌是主要的发病类型,约占85%[。在非小细胞肺癌中,以肺腺癌的发病率最高。肺癌早期往往无明显症状,56%的肺癌患者在确诊时即伴有远处转移,仅15%的患者在病灶局限时被发现[,因此肺癌细胞侵袭与转移的研究成为临床亟待解决的问题。近年来越来越多的研究发现肺癌侵袭转移的发生与microRNA有密切关系。 MicroRNA是生物体内一类长度约为20个-23个核苷酸的非编码小RNA,是由具有发夹结构的约70个-90个碱基大小的单链RNA前体(pre-miRNA)经过Dicer酶加工后生成的成熟体microRNA-3p和microRNA-5p,通过靶向结合mRNA的3’端非编码区(3’untranslated regions, 3’UTR),影响目的基因的蛋白表达水平,从而影响细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡与侵袭转移等生物学行为[。MicroRNA已被证实在多种肿瘤的转移形成中发挥重要作用,包括乳腺癌、肝癌、前列腺癌和结肠癌等[。 MiR-373是miRNAs-371-372-373家族的成员之一,miR-371/miR-372/miR-373的前体都是相同的,均由染色质19q13.42转录而来[。MiR-373的前体(pre-miR-373)在细胞质中经过Dicer酶加工后生成成熟体miR-373-3p(即miR-373)和miR-373-5p(即miR-373*),然而miR-373*在自然界中极少存在。MiR-373在不同的肿瘤中的作用不尽相同,具有组织特异性,扮演着癌基因和抑癌基因的角色,影响着肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移、增殖与周期等生物学行为。研究表明miR-373在乳腺癌[、人纤维肉瘤[及胰腺癌[中对肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移能力有重要调控作用。然而miR-373在肺癌中的作用机制尚未十分明确,为了探讨其与肺癌的关系,本研究通过检测成熟体hsa-miR-373-3p(又称miR-373)在非小细胞癌中的表达情况,同时比较在肺腺癌细胞系中过表达及干扰miR-373-3p后对肺腺癌细胞侵袭转移能力的影响。

用qRT-PCR法检测miR-373-3p在51例NSCLC组织和39例癌旁组织中的表达,与癌旁组织相比,miR-373-3p在非小细胞肺癌组织中高表达(P=0.011, 9)(图 1),然而,miR-373-3p在腺癌与鳞癌中的表达无明显差异(P=0.904, 9)。有淋巴结转移的肺癌组织中miR-373-3p的表达是无淋巴结转移的3.7倍(P=0.008, 7)(图 1,表 1),这说明miR-373-3p可能与肿瘤细胞的转移能力相关。

讨论

MiR-373在多种肿瘤中均出现异常表达,扮演着癌基因或者抑癌基因的角色,影响肿瘤细胞的增殖、侵袭和转移过程。有研究[报道miR-373在乳腺癌中表达上调,通过下调CD44的表达而促进肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移能力。在人纤维肉瘤HT1080细胞中,过表达的miR-373可直接通过靶向结合雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mechanistic target of rapamycin, mTOR)和去乙酰化酶1(sirtuin 1, SIRT1)mRNA的3'UTR而使mTOR和SIRT1的表达下调,进一步导致Ras/Raf/MEK/Erk信号通路和转录因子(nuclear factor kappa B, NF-κB)的激活,从而提高MMP-9的表达水平,增强肿瘤细胞的生长和迁移能力[。Zhang等[研究发现miR-373在胃癌中高表达,通过下调靶基因肿瘤坏死因子α诱导蛋白1(tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 1, TNFAIP1)的表达而促进胃癌细胞的增殖。然而,miR-373与肺癌的研究甚少,两者的关系尚未十分明确。 本研究发现miR-373-3p在非小细胞肺癌组织中较癌旁组织高表达,通过分析研究非小细胞肺癌组织标本的临床病理特征与miR-373-3p表达间的关系发现,有淋巴结转移的非小细胞肺癌组织中miR-373-3p的表达明显高于无淋巴结转移的,另外T3期-T4期的NSCLC组织中miR-373-3p的表达也高于T1期-T2期的,据此我们认为miR-373-3p可能对NSCLC的增殖转移有一定调控作用。而非小细胞肺癌中又以肺腺癌的发病率最高,因此本研究主要探讨miR-373-3p与肺腺癌侵袭转移的关系,进一步研究发现miR-373-3p在5种人肺腺癌细胞株中的表达水平也显著高于人正常支气管上皮细胞,其中以H1299细胞的相对表达水平最低,A549细胞的相对表达水平最高。为了探讨miR-373-3p对肺腺癌细胞的侵袭转移能力的影响,我们通过功能获得以及功能缺失研究发现过表达miR-373-3p可以促进H1299细胞的侵袭转移能力;相反,抑制miR-373-3p的表达可降低A549细胞的侵袭转移能力。以上数据表明miR-373-3p可以促进肺腺癌细胞的侵袭转移能力。与此同时,日本学者Seol等[在研究miR-373与肺癌的关系时发现过表达pre-miR-373可抑制肺癌细胞的侵袭能力,该研究结果和我们有所不同,存在差异的可能原因是他们的研究中用的是miR-373的前体,而pre-microRNA进入细胞后会在Dicer酶的加工下生成microRNA-5p和microRNA-3p而发挥生物学作用,事实上是否存在microRNA-5p和microRNA-3p的作用差异,这是一个有趣的问题,因为miR-373在不同的肿瘤中也扮演不同的角色,在有的肿瘤中促进转移,有的则是抑制肿瘤转移,例如miR-373促进乳腺癌[、人纤维肉瘤[及宫颈癌[细胞的转移能力,却抑制前列腺癌[和卵巢癌[细胞的转移,今后miR-373的亚型在肺癌中的作用仍需进一步研究。 肿瘤侵袭转移的形成涉及多种机制,研究发现基质金属蛋白酶家族(matrix metalloproteinases, MMPs)对于肿瘤转移有重要相关性,他们降解基底膜并在细胞外基质(extracellular matrix, ECM)中暴露出隐藏的多肽抗原,促进侵袭的发生。MMPs可在原发肿瘤处将可溶性肿瘤细胞释放至循环系统中,并在远处器官形成转移微环境以助于随后肿瘤细胞的克隆形成[。MMPs也可以直接修饰整合素和其他肿瘤细胞粘附分子,激活重要的细胞因子如转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor beta, TGF-β),诱导上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition, EMT)的发生,EMT是由增强细胞运动而引起的广泛表型改变,是肿瘤转移的重要过程[。MMP-9是基质金属蛋白酶家族的成员之一,对肿瘤细胞的生长、增殖和侵袭迁移起着重要作用[。Peng等[发现MMP-9高表达与非小细胞肺癌患者的不良预后有密切关系。多项研究[表明MMP-9与增加患者淋巴结转移率、肿瘤远处转移率及缩短无复发生存率有关。MMP-14又称膜型基质金属蛋白酶-1(membrane-type matrix proteinase-1, MT1-MMP),是第一个被发现的膜型基质金属蛋白酶。MMP-14在正常组织与肿瘤组织的生物学行为中均发挥重要作用,例如侵袭[、增殖[与细胞外基质的重塑[等。研究[证实相比癌旁组织,MMP-14在非小细胞癌组织中明显高表达。Wang等[研究发现MMP-14高表达的非小细胞肺癌患者生存时间比MMP-14低表达者更短,是一个不良预后的指标。 为了进一步探讨miR-373-3p促进肺腺癌细胞侵袭转移能力的作用机制,我们对miR-373-3p与基质金属蛋蛋白酶间的关系进行了研究。结果发现过表达miR-373-3p的细胞中MMP-9MMP-14蛋白的表达水平上调;抑制miR-373-3p的表达后细胞中MMP-9MMP-14蛋白的表达水平下调。该结果表明,miR-373-3p可能通过上调MMP-9MMP-14蛋白的表达水平而影响肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移能力。 本研究发现miR-373-3p在肺腺癌中表达上调并扮着癌基因的角色,可能通过上调MMP-9MMP-14蛋白的表达水平而促进肺腺癌细胞的侵袭转移能力,阐明了肺腺癌细胞发生侵袭转移的机制之一,提示miR-373-3p可能作为抑制肺腺癌细胞侵袭转移能力的靶点,有望为临床上逆转肺腺癌的侵袭转移提供新的思路。
