Recently, many datas showed that microRNA (miRNA) plays an essential role in tumor invasion. Our study aimed to explore the effects of miRNA-7 on the invasion and proliferation of human colorectal cancer cell (CRC) lines Caco-2 and HCT-8
in vitro. Methods: The cells were transiently transfected with miR-7 mimic or inhibitor respectively to increase or decrease LY2157299 the level of miR-7 using lipofectmin 2000. MiR-7 expression in Caco-2 and HCT-8 cells were determined using real time PCR after transfection. The expressions of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were detected by western blot. Transwell and migration assay were performed to detect the ability of cell invasion on different levels of miR-7 and FAK expression. The viability and the proliferation of cells were accessed by MTT assay and Plate colony formation test. Results: There was an inverse correlation between miR-7
and FAK expression in Caco-2 and HCT-8 cells (P < 0.01; Spearman correlation, γ = -0.949). Inhibition of miR-7 led to increased FAK expression and increased invasiveness (p < 0.05) and proliferative capacity (p < 0.05) of CRC cells. Ectopic expression of miR-7 decreases the invasive (p < 0.05) and proliferative capacity (p < 0.05) of CRC cells by down-regulating FAK. Considered together, the miR-7-FAK axis might be essential for colorectal cancer invasion. Efforts are under way to develop miR-7 to be a potential therapeutic target in animal models of colorectal cancer. Conclusion: MiR-7 suppresses the MCE公司 proliferation and invasion of Caco-2 and HCT-8 by regulating FAK expression, suggesting that miR-7 might be a novel target for the biological therapy of colorectal cancer.
