Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) severely affects human health, and cisplatin (DDP) resistance is the main obstacle in LUAD treatment, the mechanism of which is unknown. Bioinformatics methods were utilized to predict expression and related pathways of AURKB in LUAD tissues, as well as the upstream regulated microRNAs. qRT-PCR assayed expression of AURKB and microRNA-486-5p. RIP and dual-luciferase experiments verified the binding and interaction between the two genes. CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation ability and IC50 values. Flow cytometry was utilized to assess the cell cycle. Comet assay and western blot tested DNA damage and γ-H2AX protein expression, respectively. In LUAD, AURKB was upregulated, but microRNA-486-5p was downregulated. The targeted relationship between the two was confirmed by RIP and dual-luciferase experiments. Cell experiments showed that AURKB knock-down inhibited cell proliferation, reduced IC50 values, induced cell cycle arrest, and caused DNA damage. The rescue experiment presented that high expression of microRNA-486-5p could weaken the impact of AURKB overexpression on LUAD cell behavior and DDP resistance. microRNA-486-5p regulated DNA damage to inhibit DDP resistance in LUAD by targeting AURKB, implying that microRNA-486-5p/AURKB axis may be a possible therapeutic target for DDP resistance in LUAD patients.
