Our study elucidates the effect of folate polyamide amine dendrimer nanoparticles targeting delivery of miRNA-200c inhibitor and CDDP on lung cancer cells proliferation. We established polyamide amine dendrimer nanoparticles binding with CDDP and miRNA-200c inhibitor (Den-PEI-CDDP-siRNA-FA), TEM was employed to detect the morphology of nanoparticles. Agarose gel assay was selected for stabilization test. Cell proliferation were detected by trypanosoma blue exclusion method. The expression of miRNA-200c targeted APKPA12 and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot and PCR. Finally, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Den-PEI-CDDP-siRNA-FA nanoparticles showed excellent stability and drug encapsulation ability. Nanoparticles targeting for FRA to co-deliver siRNA and CDDP could significantly promote cell apoptosis, increase apoptosis-related protein expression, and inhibit cell proliferation. Besides, nanoparticles exerted less venomous effect than untargeted nanoparticles in MRC9 lung fibroblast. Den nanoparticle targeting FRA might be used as the carrier for joint applications with siRNA and CDDP for treating lung cancer.

Abstract Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) has been reported as an oncogene in colorectal cancer, promoting its tumorgenesis. The present paper focused on searching the potential function of FGD5-AS1 in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). There are connections between the expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and human NSCLC tumor growth and progression. Also, the relationships between FGD5-AS1, hsa-miR-107 and mRNA fibroblast growth factor receptor like 1 (FGFRL1) are going to test their interaction in NSCLC cell lines, which may cause a series of biological behaviors of NSCLC cells. qRT-PCR analysis was conducted to test the expression of RNAs in different situation. CCK-8 experiment and clone formation assay were performed to assess proliferation of NSCLC cells. Also, connection between FGD5-AS1 and hsa-miR-107 were investigated by luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. Rescue experiments were performed to verify the modulating relationship between FGD5-AS1, hsa-miR-107 and FGFRL1. High-level expression of FGD5-AS1 was found in NSCLC. FGD5-AS1 may promote the proliferation of NSCLC cells. Also, the combination between hsa-miR-107, FGD5-AS1 and NSCLC have been proved, which means they can play an interaction function in NSCLC cells. Thence, we concluded that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 promotes non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation through sponging hsa-miR-107 to up-regulate FGFRL1.

MicroRNA-27a-3p has been implicated to play crucial roles in human cancers. However, the biological role and underlying mechanisms of microRNA-27a-3p in regulating nonsmall lung cancer remain unclear. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels in non-small lung cancer cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, using a normal cell line as control. The effects of microRNA-27a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry assay. Luciferase activity reporter assay and Western blot were conducted to validate the potential targets of miR27a-3p after preliminary screening by TargetScan. Effect of microRNA-27a-3p or homeobox B8 on the overall survival of patients with non-small lung cancer was analyzed at Kaplan-Meier Plotter website. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels were significantly reduced in non-small lung cancer cell lines compared with normal cell line. Overexpression of microRNA-27a-3p inhibits non-small lung cancer cell proliferation but promotes cell apoptosis. Homeobox B8 was further validated as a functional target of microRNA-27a-3p. Collectively, our results indicated that microRNA-27a-3p acts as a tumor suppressor in non-small lung cancer via targeting homeobox B8.
