Abstract：

Objective To investigate the regulation of miR - 21 on invasion growth of human glioma cells by RECK.Method The human glioma LN229 cells were transfected with AS - miR - 21 or scrambled sequences by Lipofectamine2000.Real time PCR was conducted to detect the expression of miR-21.Luciferase experiment was performed to detect the relationship between miR-21 and RECK.The expression of RECK was evaluated by Western blot.The invasion ability was evaluated by transwell assay and subcutaneous models.Western Blot, ELISA and immunofluorescence were used to estimate the changes of MMP2/9.Results The expression of miR - 21 in LN229 cells decreased after transfection with AS-miR-21. It was proved that RECK was a direct target of miR -21 by luciferase experiment.Meanwhile, the high expression of RECK protein in AS - miR -21 group conformed its important function in this mechanism.Transwell assay demonstrated decreased invasion capability of LN229 cell lines transfected with AS- miR- 21.Western blot, ELISA, and immunofluorescence demonstrated the levels of MMP2/9 were down -regulated in AS -miR -21 group compared with control and scrambled group.Conclusions AS - miR -21 could depress the invasion of glioma cells owing to up - regulating the level of RECK which could inhibit MMP2/9 activities both in vitro and vivo.
