摘要
目的:探讨内含子源性27nt-miRNA对内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)表达调节的分子机制及其对血管内皮细胞增殖、迁移和管腔形成能力的影响。方法:构建wt-27nt-miRNA、mut-27nt-miRNA和空白对照序列的高表达质粒,分别转染人脐静脉血管内皮细胞(HUVECs),采用RT-PCR、Western blotting检测eNOS mRNA和蛋白表达水平;MTT检测HUVECs增殖能力,划痕和Transwell实验检测HUVECs的迁移能力,Matrigel检测HUVECs的管腔形成能力。结果:(1)与空白质粒对照组比较,wt-27nt-miRNA表达组HUVECs eNOS mRNA降低39.51%(0.49±0.02vs 0.81±0.02,P<0.05),其蛋白质表达量下降47.41%(0.71±0.07vs 1.35±0.06,P<0.05)。(2)与空白质粒对照组相比,wt-27nt-miRNA表达组HUVECs增殖明显减少,抑制率为41.86%;wt-27nt-miRNA表达组HUVECs迁移速度明显减缓,且迁移数目降低75.55%(28.75±1.71vs117.60±4.45,P<0.01),未能形成明显管腔样结构。在mut-27nt-miRNA表达组中,上述指标比空白质粒对照组降低(P<0.05),但比wt-27nt-miRNA表达组显著升高(P<0.05),特别是管腔形成数量及管腔长度与空白质粒对照组相近。结论:内含子源性27nt-miRNA显著抑制HUVECs的增殖、迁移和管腔形成的能力,并与内含子源性27nt-miRNA对eNOS表达的调控相关。
Objective: This study was to investigate the effect of intronic 27nt-miRNA on eNOS expression and the capacities of endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation. Methods: We constructed high expression plasmids of wt-27nt-miRNA, mut-27nt-miRNA and introduced control sequence into HU- VECs. The expressions of eNOS at mRNA and protein levels were examined by real-time PCR and West- ern blotting. The HUVECs proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Scratch assay and Transwell assay were used to measure the HUVECs migration. Tube formation was detected by Matrigel assay. Results: Compared with control group, the expression of eNOS at mRNA and protein levels was decreased by 39.51%(0.49±0.02 vs 0.81±0.02, P 〈0.05)and by 47.41%(0.71±0.07 vs 1.35±0.06, P 《0.05); and the proliferation of HUVECs in wt-27nt-miRNA group was significantly decreased, with an inhibition ratio of 41.86 %. The HUVECs motility was slower than that in the control group, and the migrated HU- VECs in wt-27nt-miRNA group were significantly decreased by 75.55%(28.75±1.71 vs 117.60±4.45, P 〈0.01). Matrigel assay showed few capillaries. In mut-27nt-miRNA group, the above indexes were decreased compared with control group( P 〈0.05), but significantly increased compared with wt-27nt-miR- NA group( P 〈0.05), especially the number of branches and the length of the tubes formed were similar to those in the control group. Conclusion: Intronic 27nt-miRNA significantly suppresses cell proliferation,migration and tube formation of HUVECs, which might be associated with regulation of eNOS.
