Highlights |
• | Exploration of novel oncogene help researchers take better insight of melanoma and guide treatment. |
• | Elevated TPX2 mostly promote the proliferation of melanoma cells and correlated with poor prognosis. |
• | miR-330-3p negatively regulates the expression of TPX2. |
Abstract |
Objective |
This study is intended to identify the key gene from gene expression profile and validate its role and regulatory mechanism in melanoma.
Methods |
Gene expression profile of GSE3189 from GEO database was selected among which 7 are normal skin samples, 18 are benign skin lesion samples, and 45 are melanoma samples. The present study examined the 7 normal skin samples and the 45 melanoma samples. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between melanoma patients and health people were performed using Morpheus online tool. The 100 most differentially expressed genes (50 upregulated genes and 50 downregulated genes) were selected as hub genes. Then, expression levels and survival analysis of hub genes were conducted via GEPIA tool to choose target gene. The expression of target gene in melanoma cell lines was examined by RT-qPCR and western blotting. The biological function of target gene on cell proliferation in melanoma was measured in vitro. The predicted target of target gene was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and rescue experiment. The gene expression in clinical samples were determined by RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). The tumor formation study was conducted in vivo.
Results |
Targeting protein for Xklp2 (TPX2) was identified as key gene in melanoma. TPX2 could promote the proliferation of melanoma cells. The dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-330-3p targets TPX2. In rescue experiment, it was proved that miR-330-3p inhibits the proliferation of melanoma cells by negatively regulating the expression of TPX2. The results in vitro were also confirmed in vivo. miR-330-3p/TPX2 pathway expressed differently between melanoma patients and health people. These differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion |
Inhibiting TPX2 by miR-330-3p suppresses the proliferation of melanoma cell lines. miR-330-3p/TPX2 pathway could be a potential therapeutic target in melanoma.
