Omeprazole Enhances Cisplatin Sensitivity Through Inhibition of miR-214-3p Mediated Autophagy in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Cells
Objective To investigate whether omeprazole(OME)can enhance the sensitivity of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)cells to cisplatin(DDP)by inhibition of autophagy and to elucidate its possible mechanism.Methods Color in situ hy-bridization(CISH)and immunohistochemistry were applied to detect the expression of miR-214-3p and autophagy specific mark-ers p62 in EOC tissues,respectively.Pearson analysis showed the correlation between miR-214-3p and p62 expression levels in EOC.The half concentration(IC50)of DDP was determined by CCK-8 method.The mRNA expressions of miR-214-3p and multi-drug resistance gene 1(MDR1),the protein levels of p-gp and p62 were measured by using real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)and Western blot,respectively.Results In 43 cases,the expressions of miR-214-3p and p62 were 53.5％(23/43)and 60.5％(26/43)in patients with ovarian carcinoma,respectively.miR-214-3p was downregulated in platinum-relatively resistant OC tissue(P＜0.05).On the contrary,p62 was upregulated in platinum-relatively resistant OC tissue(P＜0.01).In ovarian cancer,the negative expression of miR-214-3p was closely related with p62(r=0.238,P＜0.05).After OME(150 μmol/L)pre-treatment,varying degrees of decrease was observed in cisplatin IC50 OV2008 and C13K cells,especially cisplatin resistant strain C13K(P＜0.01).After DDP treatment,qRT-PCR results revealed that the expression of miR-214-3p was decreased,the mRNA and protein expressions of MDR1 were greatly increased,and the protein levels of p62 were increased in C13K and OV2008 cells,compared to the blank control C13K and OV2008 cells(all P＜0.01).Compared with the blank control C13K and OV2008 cells,the IC50 of DDP was decreased after pretreatment with OME(150 μmol/L).The sensitivity of C13K and OV2008 cells to DDP was increased after OME(150 μmol/L)pretreatment,the relative expression of miR-214-3p was significantly increased,the expression of MDR1 protein and mRNA was decreased,and the expression of p62 protein was decreased(all P＜0.05).Conclu-sion OME pretreatment might enhance the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to DDP by downregulating miR-214-3p mediated autophagy.
