| abstractText | Despite being the subject of multiple cancer studies, nothing is known about miR-597-5p's role in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). We intend to explore how miR-597-5p influences the growth and development of CAC. In order to construct a CAC model, mice were stimulated with azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The in situ hybridization (ISH) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used for the detection of miR-597-5p expression. The protein expression of CXCL5 was determined by western blotting, immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA). The histologic colitis score and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining were used to evaluate degree of damage to colonic tissues. The proportion of macrophages detected in colon tumors was also measured using flow cytometry. The transwell test was employed to assess macrophage migration. It was found that the miR-597-5p and its target CXCL5 had a negative correlation. MiR-597-5p expression was decreased, while CXCL5 expression was raised in CAC tissues. In AOM/DSS-induced mice, miR-597-5p deficiency in intestinal epithelial cells resulted in decreasing colon length as well as increasing tumor numbers and histologic colitis score, which was reversed by CXCL5 inhibition. MiR-597-5p deficiency facilitated macrophage recruitment in AOM/DSS-induced mice and promoted macrophage migration in vitro, which were reversed by CXCL5 inhibition. Deficiency of miR-597-5p aggravated macrophage recruitment and tumorigenesis in a mouse CAC model, suggesting that miR-597-5p agonists may have an anti-inflammatory therapeutic effect in inflammatory bowel diseases and reduce the risk of developing CAC. |
