Abstract

Objective: To construct an overexpression vector of microR-338-3p (miR-338-3p) and detect its effect on the proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.

Methods: pcDNATM6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR eukaryotic expression vector was cut using restriction site of HindIII and EcoRI, connected to miR-338-3p oligonucleotide, and identified by sequencing and blast. miR-338-3p overexpression vector was transfected into SGC-7901 cells and the expression level was determined by real-time PCR. The proliferation of SGC-7901 cells was also examined by MTT.

Results: The overexpression vector of miR-338-3p was identified as real by sequencing. The expression level of miR-338-3p in SGC-7901 cells with expression vectors transfected was increased significantly (P<0.05). The proliferation of SGC-7901 cells in vitro was also inhibited.

Conclusion: The overexpression vector of miR-338-3p was successfully constructed and human gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 instantaneously expressing miR-338-3p was obtained, which preliminarily confirmed that the overexpression of miR-338-3p can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.
