miR-142-3p effect on the stemness of bladder cancer stem cells via regulation of S1PR3

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.1675

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have found that miR-142-3p is underexpressed in a variety of tumor tissues and cell lines, and the TUG1/miR-142/ ZEB2 axis can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in bladder cancer.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression level of miR-142-3p in bladder cancer stem cells, and to explore its effects on targeted regulation of S1PR3 and the stemness of bladder cancer stem cells.
METHODS: Primary bladder cancer cells were isolated and cultured from fresh human bladder cancer tissues. CD44⁺ and CD44^- cells were screened by flow cytometry. The expressions of stemness-related molecular markers Nanog and Oct4 in CD44⁺ and CD44^- cells were detected by western blot. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-142-3p in CD44⁺ and CD44^- cells. miR-142-3p mimic (experimental group) and empty plasmid vector (control group) were transfected into CD44⁺ cells. At 48 hours after transfection, MTS was used to detect the cell proliferation ability of bladder cancer stem cells in each group; soft agar cloning assay was used to detect the tumor formation ability; Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration ability; western blot assay was used to detect the expression of pPi3k and pAkt; and qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of S1PR3. The cells transfected with miR-142-3p mimic or empty plasmid vector were injected into the right armpit of nude mice (provided by the Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.), and the tumor volume was detected at 4 weeks after injection. S1PR3-mutant+miR-142-3p mimic, S1PR3-mutant+empty plasmid vector, S1PR3-wild type+miR-142-3p mimic, S1PR3-wild type+empty plasmid vector were transfected into the CD44⁺ cells. And then luciferase activity in each group was detected at 48 hours after transfection.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The expression of miR-142-3p was significantly decreased in the CD44⁺ cells as compared with the CD44^- cells (P < 0.05), and the expression of Nanog and Oct4 in CD44⁺ cells was significantly higher than that in CD44^- cells (P < 0.05), indicating that the CD44⁺ cells are identified as bladder cancer stem cells. (2) The miR-142-3p mimic group showed a significant reduction in the proliferation ability, the tumor formation ability, and the migration ability as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). (3) In the miR-142-3p mimic group, pPi3k and pAkt protein expression was significantly reduced, and the mRNA expression of S1PR3 was also decreased as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). (4) The tumor volume in the miR-142-3p nude mice was significantly smaller than that in the control mice (P < 0.05). (5) The luciferase activity in the S1PR3-mutant+miR-142-3p mimic group was significantly lower than that in the S1PR3-wild type+empty plasmid vector group (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference between the S1PR3-wild type+miR-142-3p mimic and S1PR3-wild type+empty plasmid vector groups (P > 0.05). To conclude, expression of miR-142-3p is down-regulated in bladder cancer stem cells, which may inhibit the stemness of bladder cancer stem cells by negatively regulating S1PR3 and suppressing PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
