Abstract:
Objective:To observe effect of down-regulating microRNA-214 (miR-214) expression on migration and invasion of ovarian carcinoma SKOV-3 cells and explore its possible mechanism. Methods: miR-214 inhibitors were transfected into human ovarian carcinoma SKOV-3 cells by liposome. Expressions of miR-214, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uridylyl phosphate adenosine \[uPA\]) gene mRNA, as well as NF-κB and uPA proteins in the cells were respectively detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting assays. Scarification test and transwell assay were used to detect abilities of migration and invasion of the cells respectively. Results: After transfection of miR-214 inhibitor, expression of miR-214 in human carcinoma SKOV-3 cells decreased, and migration and invasion abilities of the cells reduced. At the same time, expressions of NF-κB and uPA gene mRNA and proteins also depressed. Conclusion: Down-regulation of miR-214 expression in human ovarian carcinoma SKOV-3 cells could inhibit migration and invasion abilities of the cells, and down-regulation of NF-κB and uPA gene expressions might be its possible mechanism.
