Rivularin regulates the proliferation,apoptosis and metastasis of lung squamous cell carcinoma through LncRNA HOXA11-AS
Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which Rivularin regulates the occurrence and metastasis of lung squamous cell carcinoma.Methods The relative expression levels of target genes in different cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Animal experiments:Animals were randomly divided into two groups,with the Rivularin animal group received 50 mg·kg-1 Rivularin solution daily by gavage;and the model group received an equal volume of 0.9%NaCl daily.Tumor volume was measured.Cell experiments:Cells were divided into control group(no treatment),scutellarin group(3.0 g·L-1 scutellarin),scutellarin+oe-HOXA11-AS group(3.0 g·L-1scutellarin extract treatment and transfection of HOXA11-AS),scutellarin+oe-HOXA11-AS+XAV939 group(3.0 g·L-1 scutellarin extract treatment,transfection of HOXA11-AS and addition of 10 μmol·L-1 XAV939).5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(Edu)and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)assays were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis rates of cells,respectively;the Transwell assay was used to detect the migration number of NCI-H520 cells in each group.Results The relative expression levels of HOXA11-AS in each lung cancer cell line were significantly higher than those in normal lung epithelial cells(all P<0.05).At 35 days,the tumor volumes of the model group and Rivularin animal group were(937.83±67.40)and(512.32±45.61)mm3,respectively;compared between two groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The number of cell migration in the control group,Rivularin group,Rivularin+oe-HOXA11-AS group,and Rivularin+oe-HOXA11-AS+XAV939 group were 127.26±8.92,23.76±3.31,131.28±9.49 and 27.69±3.57;the proliferation rates were(56.27±7.49)%,(28.68±4.33)%,(50.12±7.86)%and(13.62±3.54)%respectively;the apoptosis rates were(10.86±2.97)%,(43.23±6.78)%,(30.92±4.53)%and(41.77±7.02)%.The above indicators of the Rivularin group are compared with the control group;the above indicators of the Rivularin+oe-HOXA11-AS group are compared with the Rivularin group;Rivularin+oe-HOXA11-AS+XAV939 group compared with the Rivularin+oe-HOXA11-AS group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001).Conclusion Rivularin regulates the occurrence and metastasis of lung squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through HOXA11-AS.
