Abstract

Purpose

Co-administration of microRNAs and chemotherapy drugs effectively treats several cancers. The current study sought to investigate the function of matrix metalloproteinase 16 (MMP16) and miR-193a-5p in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC).

Materials/methods

Sixty-five surgical patients, 15 receiving 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), provided GC and adjacent non-cancerous tissue. Following that, qPCR was used to assess the expression levels of MMP16 and miR-193a-5p in GC cells. The impact of miR-193a-5p and 5-FU administration on MMP16 mRNA expression was evaluated using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. MTT and Scratch tests were also conducted to assess their effects on cell viability and migration. Moreover, a rescue experiment using an MTT assay was performed. Using flow cytometry, the apoptotic rate was calculated. Finally, it was evaluated how MMP16 and miR-193a-5p related to the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients.

Results

The current study found that while MMP16 expression increased in GC patients (P < 0.0001), miR-193a-5p expression significantly decreased (P < 0.001). MMP16 down-regulation was another effect of miR-193a-5p replacement, particularly when 5-FU was added (P < 0.01). In addition, this study found that miR-193a-5p, by concentrating on MMP16, decreased the migration of GC cells brought on by MMP16. In GC cell lines, miR-193 and 5-FU induce apoptosis, with the 5-FU being more pronounced when combined with mir-193, according to flow cytometry results. A strong correlation was also found between clinicopathological traits associated with MMP16 and miR-193a-5p.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that miR-193a-5p, in conjunction with 5-FU, down-regulates MMP16 in GC, where it suppresses tumor growth.

利用 miR-193a-5p 和 5-FU 靶向 MMP16 降低胃癌细胞株的转移能力

目的：microRNAs与化疗药物联合应用可有效治疗多种癌症。本研究试图探讨基质金属蛋白酶16（MMP16）和miR-193a-5p在胃癌（GC）发病机制中的功能：65例手术患者（其中15例接受了5-氟尿嘧啶（5-FU）治疗）提供了GC和邻近的非癌组织。然后，使用 qPCR 评估 GC 细胞中 MMP16 和 miR-193a-5p 的表达水平。使用 qRT-PCR 和 Western 印迹法评估了 miR-193a-5p 和 5-FU 给药对 MMP16 mRNA 表达的影响。还进行了 MTT 和划痕试验，以评估它们对细胞活力和迁移的影响。此外，还利用 MTT 试验进行了挽救实验。使用流式细胞术计算了细胞凋亡率。最后，还评估了 MMP16 和 miR-193a-5p 与患者临床病理特征的关系：结果：目前的研究发现，虽然 MMP16 在 GC 患者（PConclusions.）中的表达增加，但 miR-193a-5p 在 GC 患者中的表达却没有增加：这些研究结果表明，miR-193a-5p 与 5-FU 联用可下调 MMP16 在 GC 中的表达，从而抑制肿瘤生长。
