LncRNA gas5 regulates granulosa cell apoptosis and viability following radiation by X-ray through sponging miR-205-5p and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway ingranulosa cell tumor of ovary
Abstract
Purpose: The study explored the role of lncRNA gas5 in ovarian granulosa cells exposed to X-ray in granulosa cell tumor of ovary(GCTO).
Methods:Exposed the KGN cell line (KALANG, Beijing, China) to X-ray to mimic the radiotherapy for GCSO patients in vitro, cell viability was checked by CCK8 assays. RT-qPCR detected the RNA expression of apoptosis-related genes while Western Blot for biomarkers in wnt/β-catenin signaling. Differential expressions of lncRNA gas5 were examined after cells exposed to X ray for 0,24,48hs. We over expressed gas5 and assessed resultant cell viabilities, apoptosis and signaling. The sponging between gas5 and miR-205-5p was verified through Luciferase Assay. CCK8, RT-qPCR and Western Blot were applied for investigations into the correlation between miR-205-5p and cell viability and apoptosis after miR-205-5p augmentation. Similarly, the interactions between the gas5 and miR-205-5p were assessed after co-transfection of miR-205-5p mimics and oe-gas5. Last, wnt inhibitor was used to study the role of signaling pathway in KGN cells.
Results: Exposure of KGN toX-ray reduced cell viabilities and increased apoptosis. Gas5 had reduced expression in cells while miR-205-5p increased. Gas5 upregulation could protect the cells from apoptosis and add to the cell viability and activation of wnt//β-catenin signaling. lncRNA gas5 targeted miR-205-5p and miR-205-5p mimics could counteract functions of up-regulated lncRNA gas5, regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Inactivation in Wnt/β-catenin could suppress cell viability.
Conclusions: lncRNA gas5 regulated the cell apoptosis and viability after cellular radiation, which might be a potential therapeutic target to combine into radiotherapy for GCTO patients in clinical stage.
