OBJECTIVE To investigate the permeability of gap junction composed of connexin 43(Cx43)for micro RNAs(mi RNAs)and the impact of gap junction-mediated transfer of mi RNAs in glioma U87 cells.METHODS Co-culture assay demonstrated the transmission of miR NAs through gap junction channel into adjacent cells.U87 cells were labeled with green fluorescein protein(GFP)as receivers and cells were transfected mi RNAs as donors.Receiver cells and donor cells were mixed together in a ratio of 1∶1.After 12 h co-culture,cells were separated using a BD influx flow cytometer based on the GFP labeled.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q RT-PCR)was applied detect to the expressions of miR NAs and Cx43 mR NA.Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expressions of Cx43 and GFP in U87 cells.CCK-8 assay is used to detect cell growth.RESULTS Co-culture assays demonstrated mi R-34a could transfer between U87 cells.The role of the contact independent could also transfer of miR-34a.Gap junctions inhibitor(CBX and 18-α-GA)showed lower miR-34a expression than co-culture group,whereas gap junctions enhancer(RA and Galanglin)enhanced miR-34a expression.Knockdown of Cx43 could significantly decrease the transferring of miR-34a between U87 cells.Different length of miR NAs(miR-1827,miR-144,miR-203a and miR-1183)were similar to the expression of miR-34a between U87 cells.Additionally,we demonstrated that gap junctions mediate the effect of antiproliferation mediated by mi R-34a in U87 cells.The functional inhibition of gap junctions using either si RNA or inhibition eliminated the miR-34a mediated antiproliferation,whereas the enhancement of gap junctions treatment augmented this mi R34a-mediated antiproliferation.CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that gap junction composed of Cx43-mediated transfer mi RNAs in different length of nucleotides and gap junction-mediated transfer of mi R-34a enhance the antiproliferative effect in glioma U87 cells.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the permeability of gap junction composed of connexin 43 (Cx43) for micro RNAs (mi RNAs) and the impact of gap junction-mediated transfer of mi RNAs in glioma U87 cells. METHODS Co-culture assay demonstrated the transmission of miR NAs through gap junction channel into adjacent cells. U87 cells were labeled with green fluorescein protein (GFP) as receivers and cells were transfected miRNAs as donors. Receiver cells and donor cells were mixed together in a ratio of 1: 1.After 12 h co -culture, cells were separated using a BD influx flow cytometer based on the GFP labeled. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q RT-PCR) was applied to detect the expressions of miR NAs and Cx43 mR NA. Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expressions of Cx43 and GFP in U87 cells. The CCK-8 assay is used to detect cell growth. RESULTS Co-culture assays demonstrated that mi R-34a could transfer between U87 cells. The role of the contact independent could also transfer of miR -34a.G AP junctions inhibitor (CBX and 18-α-GA) showed lower miR-34a expression than co-culture group, while gap junctions enhancer (RA and Galanglin) enhanced miR-34a expression. Knockdown of Cx43 could significantly decrease the transferring of miR- 34a between U87 cells. Different length of miR NAs (miR-1827, miR-144, miR-203a and miR-1183) were similar to the expression of miR- 34a between U87 cells. Additionally, we said that gap junctions mediate the effect of antiproliferation mediated by mi R-34a in U87 cells. The functional inhibition of gap junctions using either si RNA or inhibition eliminated the miR-34a mediated antiproliferation, and the enhancement of gap junctions treatment augmented this mi R34a-mediated antiproliferation. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that gap junction composed of Cx43-mediated transfer mi RNAs in different length of nucleotides and gap junction-mediated transfer of mi R-34a enhance the antiproliferative effect in glioma U87 cells.
