3、P0.05);在结直肠癌临床组织样本中,ZAK蛋白水平亦显著上调(P0.05);mi R-9-5p 的表达水平在癌细胞系及组织样本中下调(P0.05)。双荧光素酶报道基因实验显示miR-9-5p能显著影响ZAK3UTR野生型表达载体的荧光素酶活性(P0.05),过表达miR-9-5pmimic片段可抑制ZAK蛋白表达,而inhibitor片段促进ZAK蛋白表达。CCK-8、克隆形成实验及Transwell实验表明,过表达ZAK可显著促进结直肠癌细胞系细胞的增殖、克隆形成、细胞迁移和侵袭能力(均P0.05),而同时过表达miR-9-5p则可抵消ZAK对细胞功能的促进作用(均P0.05)。结论:结
4、直肠癌中ZAK呈高表达,而miR-9-5p呈低表达;ZAK是miR-9-5p的靶向调控基因;miR-9-5p/ZAK信号轴共同调控结直肠癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭,参与结直肠癌的发生发展。关键词miR-9-5p;ZA K;结直肠癌;增殖;迁移;侵袭【中图分类号】R735.3+5;R735.3+7文献标志码 A文章编号1000-9965(2023)03 0248-11D0I:10.11778/j.jdxb.20220242The impact of miR-9-5p targeted ZAK to regulate the proliferation,migration and invasion
