Abstract
OBJECTIVE: It is to study the stimulation and possible active mechanism of miRNA-21 on AGS proliferation of gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: AGS gastric cancer cells were cultivated in vitro and then divided into the blank control group, the PGE2 (prostaglandin E2) group, the anti-miRNA-21 group and the PGE2 + anti-miRNA-21 group and the MTT and the flow cytometry methods were adopted to test the effect of PGE2 or/and anti-miRNA-21 intervention on AGS cell proliferation and apoptosis and the differences to miRNA-21 expression. In addition, the cells were also divided into the blank control group, the PGE2 group, the PGE2 + Perifosine group, the PGE2 + anti-miRNA-21 group and the PGE2 + anti-miRNA-21 + Perifosine group and the MTT and flow cytometry methods were adopted to test the effect of Perifosine intervention on AGS cell proliferation and apoptosis and on PTEN and p-AktmRNA and protein expressions. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, AGS cell proliferation activity increased significantly, the apoptosis rate decreased and the miRNA-21tmRNA and protein expression increased in the PGE2 group (p < 0.05); compared with the PGE2 group, the AGS cell proliferation rate decreased, the apoptosis rate increased and the miRNA-21mRNA and protein expressions decreased (p < 0.05) in the anti-miRNA-21 group and the PGE2 + anti-miRNA-21 group. In addition, after intervention of Perifosine, the AGS cell proliferation rate decreased, the apoptosis rate increased, the PTEN mRNA and protein expressions increased and the pAktmRNA and protein expressions decreased (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: miRNA-21 may promote the growth of gastric cancer cells by adjusting and controlling PTEN/Akt signal passage mediated PEG2.
