Oxaliplatin(OXA)resistance is a major obstacle to the treatment of liver cancer,and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition(EMT)has been shown to be closely related to OXA resistance.RNA binding motif 8A(RBM8A)is a core component of exon junctional complexes and is one of the proteins necessary for nonsense-mediated m RNA decay,is closely related with RNA transcription,translation,and cellular Cycle regulation and apoptosis regulation,and studies have confirmed that RBM8 A is widely involved in tumor development.Our previous study found that RBM8 A is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and is associated with poor prognosis;high expression of RBM8 A could induce EMT in vitro,inhibit apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells,and promote whose proliferation,migration and invasion.However,it is unclear whether RBM8 A can participate in oxaliplatin resistance through induced EMT.If so,there is no research show its specific molecular mechanism.To further understand the role of RBM8 A in OXA resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma,and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of RBM8 A in the drug resistance network of hepatocellular carcinoma,and to identify potential drug targets for reversing the drug resistance,this study used RBM8 A knock-down and overexpressed-OXA-resistant model of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the subcutaneous drug-resistant xenograft model in nude mice,through the detection of the changes of tumor-related functions,drug resistance and EMT characteristics,found the role of RBM8 A plays in OXA resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma through high-throughput microarray tech.And combined with bioinformatics to analyze and validate its potential downstream regulatory factors and signaling pathways.This research contains three parts.Chapter ? the preliminary role of RBM8 A in the resistance to oxaliplatin in hepatocellular carcinomaObjective:By constructing OXA-resistant model of hepatocellular carcinoma cells with low expression and overexpression of RBM8 A and subcutaneous drugresistant xenograft model in nude mice,the role of RBM8 A in cell function,drug resistance and growth of transplanted tumor were detected,and the correlation of RBM8 A and OXA resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma was preliminarily investigated.Methods:1.to establish drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cell models BEL-7404/OXA and MHCC-97H/OXA(OXA concentration increasing method,intermittent induction),and by transfection to overexpression and RNA interference to establish a stable parental hepatocellular carcinoma cell model MHCC-97 H RBM8A-OE,BEL-7404-RBM8A-KD and OXA resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cell model MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE,BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD;2.CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation and IC50;3.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis and cell cycle.4.Western Blot was used to detect the changes of drug resistance-related proteins.5.Using BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells and BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-NC cells to construct a subcutaneous drug-resistant xenograft model in nude mice,and calculate the growth rate and mass size.Results:1.RBM8 A expression was significantly increased in drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells MHCC-97H/OXA,BEL-7404/OXA-compared with parental cells MHCC-97H-NC and BEL-7404-NC;2.proliferation and apoptosis of BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells increased,cells in G1 phase increased;proliferated and apoptosis of MHCC-97H/OXARBM8A-OE cells decreased significantly,cells in G1 phase reduced;3.The IC50 of BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells decreased,and the tolerance to OXA was significantly decreased.The IC50 of MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8 AOE cells increased,and the tolerance to OXA was significantly increased;4.The expression levels of ABCG2,ABCB1,and ABCC1 were decreased in BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells.Increased expression levels of ABCG2,ABCB1,and ABCC1 were observed in MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE cells;5.The growth rate and size of subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice constructed by BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells were significantly lower than those in BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-NC cells.Conclusions:The expression of RBM8 A is upregulated during the OXA resistance induction in hepatocellular carcinoma.Overexpression of RBM8 A promoted the proliferation of parental and drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro,reduced the proportion of apoptosis and G1 phase cells,induced the expression of drug-resistant proteins,and enhanced tolerance to OXA suggests that RBM8 A is involved in the process of OXA resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Chapter ? investigation on RBM8 A Mediated EMT in regulation the Mechanism in the Resistance to OXA in Hepatocellular carcinomaObjective:RBM8A silenced and overexpressed-OXA-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cell model and nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft model were established,the changes of cytoskeleton,EMT characteristics,cell migration and invasion ability after RBM8 A alteration were detected to investigate RBM8A-mediated EMT mechanism in resistant to OXA in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:1.cytoskeletal staining were to detect changes in morphology change in RBM8 A overexpressed and silenced hepatocellular carcinoma cells(MHCC-97H-RBM8A-OE,BEL-7404-RBM8A-KD)and OXA-resistant with RBM8 A overexpressed and silenced cells(MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE,BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD)2.Western Blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of EMT factors;3.Scratch method and Transwell to detect changes in cell migration and invasion ability;4.In the subcutaneous drug-resistant xenograft model of nude mice,immunohistochemistry and Western Blot were used to detect the expression of EMT and drug resistance proteins in tumor tissues.Results:1.Cytoskeletal staining results showed that the BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells' cytoskeleton were more prone to round,less pseudopod epithelial morphology;whose of MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE cells were more prone to fusiform interstitial form.2.Western Blot and cytofluorescence assay showed that the expression of Ecadherin was significantly increased in BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells,and the expression levels of N-cadherin and snail were significantly decreased.The expression level of E-cadherin was significantly decreased in MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE cells,and the expression levels of N-cadherin and snail were significantly increased.3.BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells have decreased migration and invasion ability;those of MHCC-97H/OXA-RBM8A-OE cells enhanced.4.The expression of E-cadherin in subcutaneous xenografts of nude mice constructed with BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-KD cells was significantly higher than those constructed by BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-NC cells,and the expression of N-cadherin and snail was significantly lower,the expression levels of multidrug resistance proteins ABCG2,ABCB1,and ABCC1 were significantly lower in BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-NC cells than in BEL-7404/OXA-RBM8A-NC cells.Conclusions:Overexpression of RBM8 A induces the interstitial phenotype of parental and OXA-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cytoskeleton,inhibits the expression of epithelial cell marker E-cadherin,promotes the expression of stromal cell markers N-cadherin and Snail,and enhances the cell migration and invasion.RBM8 A can participate in hepatocellular carcinoma resistance to OXA by inducing EMT.Chapter ?
