Objective To investigate whether Sijunzi Decoction (SJZT) inhibits the migration,invasion and epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of gastric cancer cells by up-regulating the expression of miR-205-5p,and to screen the downstream target genes of miR-205-5p that might be involved in the above process. Methods Preparation of serum containing SJZT:SD rats were given SJZT (6.9 g·kg-1 ) by gavage once a day for 7 days. (1) Gastric cancer cells MGC-803 and AGS were used as research objects. Grouping and intervention:normal saline group(10% blank serum) ,SJZT group(10% SJZT containing serum) ,SJZT + inhibitor NC group(10% SJZT containing serum + transfection inhibitor negative control), SJZT + miR-205-5p inhibitor group (10% SJZT containing serum + transfection miR-205-5p inhibitor) . The serum treatment of each group was 24 hours. The mRNA and protein expression levels of miR-205-5p,Snail,MMP9 and TIMP1 in each group were detected by qPCR and Western Blot. Scratch assay was used to detect cell migration ability;transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion ability. (2) Human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells were used as the research object,grouping and intervention:negative control group (transfected with negative control small interfering RNA),miR-205-5p mimic group (transfected with miR-205-5p mimic) . The differentially expressed genes of miR-205-5p mimic group versus negative control group were analyzed by transcriptome sequencing. The expression levels of three genes(ENC1,FGF7,CSF1) down-regulated by miR-205-5p overexpression were verified by qPCR. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed on differentially expressed genes. Results(1)Compared with the normal saline group,the expression levels of miR-205-5p in MGC-803 and AGS cells in the SJZT group were significantly increased(P<0.01) . Compared with SJZT + inhibitor NC group,the expression of miR-205-5p in MGC-803 and AGS cells in SJZT + miR-205-5p inhibitor group was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01) . (2) Compared with the normal saline group,the healing rate of MGC-803 and AGS cells in the SJZT group was significantly decreased (P<0.05),the number of cells passing through the matrigel was significantly decreased (P<0.01), the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP9 and Snail were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expressions of TIMP1 were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05,P<0.01) . Compared with SJZT + inhibitor NC group,the scratch healing rate of MGC-803 and AGS cells in SJZT + miR-205-5p inhibitor group was significantly increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), the number of cells passing through matrigel was significantly increased(P<0.01) ,the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP9 and Snail were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05,P<0.01) ,and the mRNA and protein expressions of TIMP1 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05,P<0.01) .(3) Compared with the negative control group. The expression of miR-205-5p in MGC-803 cells was significantly up-regulated in miR-205-5p mimics group(P<0.01) . Transcriptome high-throughput sequencing results: compared with the negative control group, a total of 401 differentially expressed genes with significant changes were identified in MGC-803 cells overexpressing miR-205-5p in the miR-205-5p mimic group,of which 195 genes were up-regulated and 206 genes were down-regulated. Compared with the negative control group,the mRNA expressions of ENC1,FGF7 and CSF1 in MGC-803 cells of miR-205-5p mimic group was significantly down-regulated after overexpression of miR-205-5p (P<0.01),which was consistent with the results of differential gene expression obtained by sequencing. The differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in biological processes such as cell adhesion and cell migration,as well as transcription disorders of cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,Rap1 signaling pathway and so on. Conclusion miR-205-5p can mediate the inhibitory effect of SJZT on the migration,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of gastric cancer cells. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of miR-205-5p on the expression of downstream genes such as FGF7,ENC1 and CSF1.
