Abstract: | AIM: To screen the chemotherapy resistance-related microRNAs (miRNAs) of colon cancer using gene chip technique, and to explore the mechanism of miRNAs regulating chemotherapy resistance. METHODS: Gene chip technique was used to analyze the expression of miRNAs in colon cancer cell line HCT8 and vincristine-resistant cell line HCT8/v, and screen the miRNAs with significantly different expression. The results were verified by RT-qPCR. The target genes of these miRNAs were predicted, and the Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and the signaling pathway analysis of the predicted genes were carried out. RESULTS: Altogether 342 miRNAs with significantly differential expression were selected, in which 190 were up-regulated, and 152 were down-regulated. The verification results of RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-125-5p, miR-181c-5p and miR-153-3 was consistent with the results of chip detection. The expression of miR-130a-3p and miR-149-3p was not consistent with the results of chip detection. The results of GO analysis showed that the main pathway of chemotherapy resistance-related genes was RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. The chemotherapy resistance-related genes played roles mainly through positive regulation and are mainly located in intracellular membrane-bound organelles. The results of KEGG analysis showed that the pathways associated with the most enriched chemotherapy resistance-related genes were axon guidance pathway, insulin signaling pathway, and phospholipase D signaling pathway.CONCLUSION: miRNAs are closely related to chemotherapy resistance in colon cancer. Through the researches on miRNAs, we can have a deeper understanding of the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance and provide new ideas for reversing chemotherapy resistance in colon cancer. |
