摘要
目的研究miR-20a对肺泡上皮细胞A549合成肺表面活性物质的影响及其可能的作用机制。方法将成功构建的miR-20a过表达慢病毒载体(miR-20a组)与空载慢病毒(空载组)分别转染A549细胞,通过观察绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)的表达确定转染效率;采用噻唑蓝(MTT)法检测细胞增殖情况;生物信息学方法预测miR-20a促进肺发育的潜在相关靶基因;实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)检测miR-20a、肺表面活性物质相关蛋白A(SP-A)、肺表面活性物质相关蛋白B(SP-B)、肺表面活性物质相关蛋白C(SP-C)和肺表面活性物质相关蛋白D(SP-D)mRNA的表达;免疫印迹法检测SP-A、SP-B、SP-C、SP-D及信号转导及转录活化因子3(STAT3)蛋白水平。结果通过绿色荧光表达观察到慢病毒成功转染入A549细胞,RT-PCR提示转染miR-20a过表达慢病毒载体后miR-20a的表达(3.85±0.18)较正常组(0.99±0.04)及空载组(1.21±0.12)显著增高,差异均有统计学意义(t=10.85、9.64,均P〈0.001),细胞株成功建立。与正常组(24h、48h、72h:0.23±0.01、0.39±0.01、0.56±0.03)及空载组(24h、48h、72h:0.25±0.01、0.44±0.05、0.59±0.01)比较,miR-20a对不同时间的A549细胞增殖(24h、48h、72h:0.26±0.01、0.41±0.02、0.58±0.02)无影响,差异均无统计学意义(均P〉0.05)。在线软件预测发现STAT3基因很可能是miR-20a的靶基因。与正常组(1.00±0.05、1.24±0.20、1.31±0.09、0.89±0.12)及空载组(0.76±0.10、1.31±0.13、1.50±0.11、1.01±0.11)比较,miR-20a可上调SP-A、SP-B、SP-C和SP.DmRNA的表达(2.05±0.17、2.14±0.10、2.84±0.09、1.66±0.08),差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05)。与正常组(0.46±0.01、0.27±0.03、0.69±0.01、0.43±0.01)及空载组(0.43±0.01、0.21±0.01、0.79±0.02、0.44±0.02)比较,miR-20a也可上调SP-A、SP-B、SP-C和SP-D蛋白的表达(0.55±0.01、0.47±0.05、0.96±0.02、0.59±0.03),差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05)。。与正常组(0.60±0.04)及空载组(0.68±0.06)比较,miR-20a组STAT3表达水平(0.37±0.05)显著降低,差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05)。结论STAT3是miR-20a的靶基因,miR-20a很可能通过抑制STAT3表达来促进A549细胞合成肺表面活性物质。
Objective To explore the role of miR -20a on pulmonary surfactant synthesis of alveolar epithelial cells A549 and its potential mechanism. Methods Lentivirns miR -20a overexpression vector( miR -20a group) or lentivirus no - load vector ( no - load group ) was transfected into A549 cells, and the expression of green fluorescent protein(GFP) was observed to determinate the transfection efficiency;cell proliferation was detected by using 3 - (4, 5 - Dimethyhhiazol - 2 - yl ) - 2,5 - diphenyltetrazolium bromide ( MTT ) ; the bioinformatics software and database were applied to predict and analyze the target genes of miR - 20a about lung development ; expressions of miR - 20a, pulmonary surfactant- associated protein A( SP- A) , pulmonary surfactant- associated protein B (SP- B ) , pulmonary surfactant -associated protein C (SP -C ) and pulmonary surfactant -associated protein D (SP- D) mRNA were detec- ted by using quantitative real -time PCR(qPCR) ;the expressions of SP - A protein, SP - B protein, SP - C protein, SP - D protein and protein signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 ( STAT3 ) were detected by using Western blot. Results Observation of GFP expression under a fluorescent microscope indicated similar transfection efficiency, and real time - PCR showed that the expression of miR - 20a increased after being transfected with lentivirus miR - 20a overexpression vector(3.85 ±0.18) compared with the normal group(0.99 ±0.04) and the no - load group( 1.21 ± 0. 12) ,and the differences were significant(t = 10.85,9.64,all P 〈0. 001 ). As a resuh,lentivirus miR -20a overex- pression vector was constructed successfully. Online software predicted that STAT3 gene was likely to be the target gone of miR -20a. Compared with the normal group (24 h ,48 h ,72 h :0.23 ± 0.01,0.39 ± 0.01,0.56 ± 0.03 )and the no -load group (24 h,48 h,72 h :0.25 ± 0.01,0.44 ± 0.05,0.59 ± 0.01 ), miR - 20a did not change the cell proliferation at different time points ( 24 h,48 h,72 h :0.26 ± 0.01,0.41 ± 0.02,0.58 ± 0.02 ) ( all P 〉 0.05 ). Compared with the normal group (1.00±0.05,1.24 ±0.20,1.31 ±0.09,0.89 ±0.12) and the no -load group (0.76±0.10,1.31 ± 0.13,1.50 ± 0. 11,1.01 ± 0.11 ), miR - 20a up - regulated the mRNA expressions of SP - A, SP - B, SP - C and SP - D ( 2.05 ± 0. 17,2.14 ± 0.10,2.84 ± 0.09,1.66 ± 0.08 ), and the differences were significant ( all P 〈 0.05 ). Compared with the normal group (0.46 ± 0.01, 0.27 ± 0.03, 0.69 ± 0.01, 0.43 ± 0.01 ) and no - load group (0.43 ± 0.01, 0.21 ± 0.01,0.79 ± 0.02, 0.44 ± 0.02 ) , miR - 20a also increased the protein expressions of SP - A, SP -B, SP-C and SP-D (0.55 ±0.01, 0.47 ±0.05, 0.96 ±0.02, 0.59 ±0.03) ,the diffe-rences were statisti- cally significant (all P 〈 0.05 ). The expression of STAT3 in miR -20a group (0.37 ± 0.05 ) was significantly lower than that in the normal group(0.60±0.04) and the no -load group (0.68±0.06) ,and the differences were statistically sig- nificant ( all P 〈 0.05 ) in A549. Conclusions STAT3 is a downstream target gene of miR - 20a. miR - 20a can promote pulmonary surfactant synthesis of alveolar epithelial cells A549 by inhibiting STAT3.
