Abstract
Objection
To investigate the effect of miR-32-5p on the radiosensitivity, migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells and the underlying mechanism.
Methods
Human colorectal cancer SW480 cells and normal colonic epithelial NCM460 cells were cultured. The colorectal cancer cells were divided into the non-transfected and transfected groups (transfected with anti-miR-NC, anti-miR-32-5p, pcDNA, pcDNA-TOB1, anti-miR-32-5p+ si-NC and anti-miR-32-5p+ si-TOB1, respectively). The expression of miR-32-5p and TOB1 at the mRNA and protein levels was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The radiosensitivity of the transfected cells was determined by colony formation assay. The migration and invasion ability of the transfected cells were detected by Transwell assay. Whether miR-32-5p targeted TOB1 was validated by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot.
Results
Compared with human colonic epithelial cells, the expression of miR-32-5p was significantly up-regulated, whereas the expression of TOB1 mRNA and protein was remarkably down-regulated in the colon cancer cells (all P<0.05). Compared with the anti-miR-NC, the quantity of cell migration and invasion was significantly decreased (both P<0.05) and the radiosensitivity ratio was 1.801 in the anti-miR-32-5p group. Compared with the pcDNA group, the quantity of cell migration and invasion was significantly decreased (both P<0.05) and the radiosensitivity ratio was 1.764 in the pcDNA-TOB1 group. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot confirmed that miR-32-5p negatively regulated the expression of TOB1 protein. Compared with the anti-miR-32-5p+ si-NC group, the quantity of cell migration and invasion was significantly increased (both P<0.05) and the radiosensitivity ratio was 0.591 in the anti-miR-32-5p+ si-TOB1 group.
Conclusions
Inhibition of miR-32-5p expression can significantly enhance the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells and suppress cell migration and invasion. The underlying mechanism might be related to the targeted up-regulation of TOB1 expression.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology is a national academic journal sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. It was founded in 1992 and the title was written by Chen Minzhang, the former Minister of Health. Its predecessor was the Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology, which was founded in 1987. The journal is an authoritative journal in the field of radiation oncology in my country. It focuses on clinical tumor radiotherapy, tumor radiation physics, tumor radiation biology, and thermal therapy. Its main readers are middle and senior clinical doctors and scientific researchers. It is now a monthly journal with a large 16-page format and 80 pages of text. For many years, it has adhered to the principle of combining theory with practice and combining improvement with popularization. It now has columns such as monographs, head and neck tumors (monographs), chest tumors (monographs), abdominal tumors (monographs), physics, technology, biology (monographs), reviews, and investigations and research.
