Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the expression of zinc finger E-box enhancer binding protein 2(ZEB2) gene in miR-200c in human gastric cancer BGC823 cells by RNA targeted interference technique, and detect expression of vimentin, so as to observe the effect of miR-200c on the function of gastric cancer BGC823 cells. Methods: The interference plasmids shZEB2 was constructed and transfected to BGC-823 cells in mediation of Lipofectamine 2000. The stable transfectants were screened by G418, and ZEB2 mRNA, miR-200c and vimentin was detected by real-time PCR in BCG823 cells, while protein expression levels of ZEB2 and vimentin by Western blotting. Proliferation of BGC-823 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Transwell assay and wound healing assay were used to observe the invasion and migration ability of BCG823 cells, respectively. Results: With interfering ZEB2 expression, miR-200c expression level increased while proliferation, migration and invasion ability of BGC823 cells decreased significantly. Conclusions: ZEB2 may be the target of miR-200c, and the ability of BGC823 cells including proliferation, migration and invasion is significantly decreased after interference with ZEB2.
