Mature miRNAs is combined by the 3 '-UTR with target gene and is blocked following protein expression to adjust the table of gene It reaches.In conjunction with three microRNA target prediction methods (PicTar, TargetScan and miRanda), inventor obtains the 13 of miR-99a A potential target gene (Fig. 3 D).In these target genes, mTOR plays an important role in network interaction.Next, hair Bright people assesses effect of the miR-99a targeting mTOR access to colorectal cancer cell.As shown in figs 3 a andb, miR-99a mimics The significant mRNA and protein level for lowering mTOR.In addition, luciferase reporting analysis result confirm miR-99a by with Colon and rectum The 3 '-UTR of mTOR bind directly and lower mTOR expression in cancer cell.The 3 '-UTR of mTOR and saltant type of 3 '-UTR of wild type (having 3 base mutations in seed region sequence) is inserted into pmiRGL- luciferase reporting plasmid (Fig. 3 C) respectively.miR- The overexpression of 99a inhibits relative luciferase activity in HCT-116 cell, and does not observe the suppression in the cell of saltant type Production is used.These results suggest that miR-99a is targeted in colorectal cancer and negative regulation mTOR signal path.

4, saccharification colorectal cancer cell can promote the expression (referring to fig. 4) of mTOR by lowering miR-99a

Glycosylation end products (AGEs) is formed by protein and the non-glycosylation of lipid and reduced sugar.For determination Whether AGEs influences the expression of miR-99a, colorectal cancer HCT-116 cell inoculation is trained base 48h in 100mg/L AGEs, then The expression of qPCR detection miR-99a.The results show that compared with the control group, under the cell miR-99a through saccharification processing is obvious It adjusts (Fig. 4 A).In addition, AGEs saccharification processing HCT-116 cell in mTOR mRNA and protein expression level increase (Fig. 4 B and C).Effect of the miR-99a in the colorectal cancer with diabetes for further evaluation, inventor are had detected normally with IHC Colorectal mucosa, CRC+DM and CRC+NONDM organize the protein expression level of mTOR in each 20, as shown in Figure 4 D, and simple Colorectal Carcinoma is compared, and is significantly increased with mTOR expression in the colorectal cancer hypotype tissue of diabetes.These results The expression of high Glyco inhabiting miR-99a is prompted to activate mTOR access, promotes to be in progress with the colorectal cancer hypotype of diabetes.

Interpretation of result:

In many researchs prompt diabetes on epidemiological level and the substantial connection between colorectal cancer^[1~4], but only There is a small number of research to attempt to connect diabetes and colorectal cancer from molecular level.MiRNAs widely with many pathology mistakes The development of journey is related, and the expression of miRNAs widely changes in cancer and diabetes^[5~7].Alam KJ has found that miR-375 is logical Cross the regulation colorectal cancer growth of inhibition CTGF-EGFR signal path and proliferation^[8].Laudato S research discovery miR-30e-5p is logical Cross the invasion transfer that targeting ITGA6 and ITGB1 inhibits colorectal cancer^[9].The growth of miR-760 inhibition colorectal cancer^[10]。Roux M has found that miR-152-3p is related to the diabetic nephropathy of type 2 diabetic patient in serum^[11].Liang YZ is to multiple about sugar The meta analysis of the relevant miRNA regulation of urine disease finds that miR-223, miR-130a, miR-19a, miR-26b and miR-27b are 2 The potential cycling markers of patients with type Ⅰ DM, and miR-146a and miR-21 can be used as tissue marker object^[12].MiR-99a can be targeted MTOR/p-4E-BPI/p-S6K1 inhibits breast cancer tumor growth, promotes apoptosis^[13].In smooth muscle cell, miR-99a is logical Targeting IGF-1R and mTOR is crossed, regulation hyperinsulinemia promotes smooth muscle cell growth, invasion^[14].In addition, miR-99a It is a variety of swollen in lung cancer, liver cancer, carcinoma of endometrium, head and neck scale carcinoma, carcinoma of mouth, Patients with Urinary System Tumors and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma etc. Expression quantity is remarkably decreased in tumor, and the prognosis of the lower patient of miR-99a expression is poorer^[15-21].MiR-99a is contaminated at No. 21 The tumor suppressor gene of a variety of human cancers it has been reported as on colour solid, the overexpression of exogenous miR-99a significantly inhibits carcinoma of mouth, preceding The transfer of column gland cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer cell^[22-25]。

MiRNAs may be the crosstalk signal between diabetes and colorectal cancer? inventor's supposition, specific miRNA's Change may be the biological factor fallen ill with the colorectal cancer hypotype of diabetes.

Present inventor is first with the detection of Agilent Human miRNA chip and screening goes out with diabetes Colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer, and the normally highest miRNAs of differential expression multiple in Colon and rectum mucous membrane, wherein miR-99a is companion Have and lowers most apparent miRNA in the colorectal cancer of diabetes；Then, by fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment with diabetes MiR-99a is demonstrated with sugar in colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer and normal Colon and rectum mucous membrane each 20 clinical tissue samples It is expressed in the colorectal cancer of urine disease minimum.In next experiment in vitro after verifying saccharification processing colorectal cancer HCT-116 cell, MiR-99a expression is lowered, and cell Proliferation, migration, invasive ability enhancing, illustrates that miR-99a is straight to tying in high saccharide ring border Intestinal cancer growth, migration, invasion have negative regulation effect.

MiRNA is combined with 3 '-UTR of said target mrna and is interfered translation^[26].Previous studies are it has been reported that miR-99a can be with Inhibit the expression of mTOR, including the cancer of the esophagus and cervical carcinoma by being directly targeted the 3 '-UTR of mTOR^[27,28]。Yan-Jie Zhang etc. is studies have shown that the activity of mTOR signal path is more much higher than normal Colon and rectum mucous membrane in colorectal cancer, and mTOR Excessive activation be used as earliest events in tumour generating process, and with from normal cell to hyperplasia to tumor phenotypes Progress and express raising^[29]。

MTOR is serine threonine protein kinase, belongs to phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) associated kinase family. Regulation of the mTOR activity by tumor suppression compound TSC1/2^[30].Growth factor and nutrient, such as glucose, insulin and ammonia Base acid activates PI3K-PKB and reduces TSC1/2 activity, mTOR is caused to activate.The mTOR of activation by adjust S6 kinase and EIF4E Binding Protein 1 (4EBP1) phosphorylation adjusts translation initiation mechanism, so as to cause protein synthesis and cell growth Increase^[31,32].MTOR signal path be regulating cell growth with proliferation a critical path, the access will from nutrient molecule, The signal integration that energy state and growth factor transmit together, regulates and controls a large amount of life process, including autophagy, ribose The life assemblage of body and metabolism etc..The imbalance of the access is related to a variety of human diseases, and the imbalance of the access will will lead to a system Generation of column disease, including tumour, obesity, diabetes B etc.^[33].MTOR can to extracellularly include growth factor, insulin, A variety of stimulations such as nutrient, amino acid, glucose generate response.It is mainly realized by PI3K/Akt/mTOR approach to thin The regulating and controlling effect of the different physiological roles such as intracellular growth, cell cycle^[34].Hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia/IGF-1 axis and this is logical Road is closely related^[35]。

Inventor extends these researchs, incorporates the phase of prediction and each target gene based on bioinformatics Interaction network, in the target gene that 13 are predicted, discovery mTOR is the most important potential target gene of miR-99a.Pass through Luciferase experimental verification miR-99a can combine 3 '-UTR of mTOR gene.Phase can be significantly reduced in miR-99a mimics To the activity of luciferase.In the cell that 3 '-UTR of mTOR gene mutation are transfected, miR-99a mimics couple is not observed The inhibiting effect of relative luciferase activity.These are the result shows that miR-99a can be by tying with the 3 '-UTRs of mTOR mRNA Close and directly adjust the expression of mTOR gene.After saccharification processing colorectal cancer HCT-116 cell, miR-99a is lowered, and by upper MTOR expression is adjusted, inhibits colorectal cancer cell growth, migration, invasion, illustrates that miR-99a can be targeted and be born in high saccharide ring border Regulate and control mTOR signal path.By immunohistochemistry detection discovery in the colorectal cancer group with diabetes in clinical tissue sample MTOR expression is knitted compared with lowering in Colorectal Carcinoma, normal Colon and rectum mucous membrane.These results suggest that miR-99a is by targeting simultaneously Negative regulation mTOR signal path inhibits colorectal cancer growth, the invasion with diabetes, has cancer suppressing action.
