Effects of microRNA-1283 on invasion, proliferation and apoptosis of human-trophoblast cells

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of microRNA(miR)-1283 on invasion,proliferation and apoptosis of HTR 8/SVneo cell line derived from human-trophoblast cells.Methods HTR-8/SVneo cells were divided into three groups,as-miR 1283 group was transfected with miR 1283 analogues,anti-miR-1283 group was transfected with miR-1283 inhibitors,and negative control group was transfected with non functional sequence.The levels of miR 1283 expression were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction at 24 hours after transfection.The cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-(2,5)-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay at 24,48 and 72 hours after transfection.Apoptosis was evaluated by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry at 48 hours after transfection.Transwell experiments were performed to evaluate cellular invasion abilities at 24 hours after transfection.Analysis of variance and Bonferroni method were applied as statistical methods.Results The level of miR 1283 in as miR 1283 group was higher than that in the negative control group with statistically significant difference (14.85±0.57 vs 7.08±0.20,P＜0.01).At 24,48 and 72 hours after transfection,the inhibitory rate of cell proliferation in as-miR-1283 group was (8.04 ± 0.27) ％,(32.47 ± 0.24) ％ and (9.23± 0.17) ％,higher than those in the negative control group [(0.72 ± 0.06) ％,(1.17 ± 0.04) ％ and (0.53 ± 0.05) ％] (P ＜ 0.01,respectively).Cell apoptosis rate was higher in as-miR 1283 group than in negative control group [(16.33 ± 0.40) ％ vs (9.39± 0.58) ％,P＜0.01].The transmembrane cell number was lower in as-miR-1283 group as comparing with the negative control group (7.25 ± 1.83 vs 16.33 ± 2.08,P＜0.01).miR-1283 expression,apoptosis and transmembrane cell number in anti-miR-1283 group had no statistical difference as compared to the negative control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Up-regulated levels of miR-1283 could inhibit HTR-8/SVneo cell proliferation and invasion,but promote the cell apoptosis.
