METHODS： The expression of micro RNA-143 was investigated and compared in normal human retina tissue samples and in RB cell lines of Y79 and Weri1. The micro RNA-143 mimics were transfected into the RB cell lines separately, and its effect on RB cell lines was detected using reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting methods. RESULTS： The micro RNA-143 expression was significantly suppressed in RB cell lines. Overexpression of micro RNA-143 significantly lowered cell viability and invasion of the RB cell lines, and increased the number of apoptotic cells. Meanwhile, the Bax expression was up-regulated and much higher in the micro RNA-143 mimics transfected group than that in the negative control and the micro RNA-143 inhibitor groups. CONCLUSION： Micro RNA-143 exhibits suppressive effects in RB. The current study provides the perspective of a potential therapeutic treatment for RB.展开更多

This study aimed to explore the effect of miR-143-3p on the biological function of lung cancer cells and theunderlying mechanism. Eighty-seven samples of lung cancer tissues and 81 samples of tumor-adjacent tissues from patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery in our hospital were collected. The lung cancer cells and lung fibroblastcells (HFL-1) were purchased, and then miR-143-3p-mimics, miR-NC, si-CTNND1, and NC were transfected into A549 and PC-9 cells to establish cell models. MiR-143-3p and CTNND1 expression levels were measured by the qRT-PCR, Bax, Bcl-2, and CTNND1 expression levels by the Western Blot (WB), and cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis by the MTT assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. Dual luciferase report assay was used to determinethe relationship between miR-143-3p and CTNND1. In this study, miR-143-3p was lowly expressed in lung cancer and CTNND1 was highly expressed in lung cancer. The overexpression of miR-143-3p inhibited cell proliferation and invasion, promoted cell apoptosis, significantly increased Bax protein expression, and decreased Bcl-2 protein expression. The inhibition of CTNND1 led to opposite biological characteristic in cells. The dual luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-143-3p was a target region of CTNND1. Such results suggest that miR-143-3p can inhibitthe proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells by regulating the expression of CTNND1 and promote the apoptosisof lung cancer cells, sott is expected to be a potential target for lung cancer.展开更多
