Abstract

Purpose

This study set out to probe into the effect and mechanism of miR-144-3p on radiosensitivity of gastric cancer (GC) cells.

Methods

Cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue of GC patients admitted to our hospital were collected, their miR-144-3p expression was tested, GC cells were transfected, and survival and biological behavior of those cells under radiation were detected.

Results

After detection, miR-144-3p expression was down-regulated in GC tissue, while ZEB1 was up-regulated. There was no remarkable difference in the survival fraction of cells in each group before receiving radiation, but that of tumor cells decreased obviously (p < 0.05) after radiation exposure. Survival fraction of cells overexpressing miR-144-3p or silencing ZEB1 decreased more obviously, while the inhibition of miR-144-3p or overexpressing ZEB1 was weaker. Biological behavior of cells under 6 Gy radiation was detected. It was found that miR-144-3p overexpression or silencing ZEB1 dramatically inhibited the proliferation activity of GC cells under 6 Gy radiation, increased the levels of pro-apoptotic Bax and caspase-3 proteins (p < 0.05) and decreased the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 level (p < 0.05), resulting in an increase in the apoptosis rate of cells. miR-144-3p was confirmed to be ZEB1 targeting s ite by dual luciferase report. Moreover, rescue experiments prove that it can increase the radiosensitivity of GC cells by regulating ZEB1 expression.

Conclusion

miR-144-3p expression was down-regulated in GC, and it can increase the radiosensitivity of those cells by inhibiting ZEB1 expression.
