Abstract

To investigate the potential mechanisms of miR-224 affecting the proliferation and invasion of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells. The blood samples of 76 DLBCL patients(DLBCL group) diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from June 2011 to December 2017, and 41 healthy persons of physical examination (normal control group) as well as human lymphatic endothelial cells (HELC) and DLBCL cell lines HBL1, OCI-LY10, OCI-LY8, OCI-LY19 were collected. The expression of miR-224 and PIK3CD mRNA was measured by RT-qPCR. The proliferation of HBL1 cells was detected by CCK-8 method and colony formation test. The invasion ability of HBL1 cells was detected by Transwell test. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-224 and PIK3CD. The expression of PIK3CD protein was measured by Western blot. The expression of miR-224 in blood of DLBCL patients was very significantly lower than that in normal control group (P<0.01). The overexpression of miR-224 significantly decreased proliferation and invasion of HBL1 cells (all P<0.01). PIK3CD was a target gene of miR-224. Knockdown of PIK3CD significantly suppressed the proliferation and invasion of HBL1 cells (all P<0.01). MiR-224 plays a key role in the progression of DLBCL, and the proliferation and invasion of HBL1 cells can be suppressed by targeted inhibition of PIK3CD.
