This study investigated whether miR-509 plays a role in regulating autophagy and apoptosis-related caspase 3 genes, and analyzes targeted nanoparticles intervention in glioma cells. The surgically resected glioma tissue specimens were included as observation group, and control group used a 2-cm open tissue next to the glioma followed by analysis of miR-509 and caspase 3 level by qPCR. Glioma cell line U251 was divided into miRNC group, targeted nanoparticle group, siRNA-NC group, and siRNA-caspase 3 group, followed by analysis of caspase 3 expression, cell proliferation by flow cytometry, and cell invasion and metastasis by trans well. Caspase 3 mRNA expression was significantly higher in glioma tissues compared with controls. Lower miR-509 and higher caspase 3 expression were correlated with TNM stage. Caspase 3 mRNA level was significantly higher and miR-509 was lower in glioma cells or glioma ell line U251 than those in normal cells. Transfection of siRNA-caspase 3, targeted nanoparticles effectively reduced cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion and down-regulated caspase 3 levels in U251 cells. Reduced miR-509 expression was associated with elevated caspase 3 expression and enhanced invasive metastatic capacity of glioma cells. Overexpression of miR-509 can effectively reduce cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion by targeted nanoparticles inhibiting caspase 3 expression. |
