Abstract

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) has been applied to treat pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most common types of digestive system tumors. Evidence has shown that miR-486-5p could promote the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether downregulation of miR-486-5p could enhance the anti-tumor effect of 5-Fu on pancreatic cancer cells. Cell Counting Kit 8 assay, flow cytometry and wound healing assays were used to detect proliferation, apoptosis and migration in PANC-1 cells. The expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase 3, PTEN, p-Akt and p-ERK in PANC-1 cells were detected with Western blot assay. In this study, the inhibitory effects of 5-Fu on the proliferation, migration and invasion of PANC-1 cells were significantly enhanced following transfection with miR-486-5p antagonist. In addition, downregulation of miR-486-5p markedly enhanced the pro-apoptosis effect of 5-Fu on PANC-1 cells. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay identified that PTEN was the directly binding target of miR-486-5p. Meanwhile, downregulation of miR-486-5p markedly enhanced the anti-tumor effect of 5-Fu in PANC-1 cells via upregulation of the level of PTEN, and downregulation of the ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
