Abstract
Propofol has been widely used in lung cancer resections. Some studies have demonstrated that the effects of propofol might be mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs). This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of propofol on lung cancer cells by regulation of miR-1284. A549 cells
were treated with different concentrations of propofol, while transfected with miR-1284 inhibitor, si-FOXM1, and their negative controls. Cell viability, migration, and invasion, and the expression of miR-1284, FOXM1, and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) factors were detected
by CCK-8, Transwell, qRT-PCR, and Western blot assays, respectively. In addition, the regulatory and binding relationships among propofol, miR-1284, and FOXM1 were assessed, respectively. Results showed that propofol suppressed A549 cell viability, migration, and invasion, upregulated E-cadherin,
and downregulated N-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail expressions. Moreover, propofol significantly promoted the expression of miR-1284. miR-1284 suppression abolished propofol-induced decreases of cell viability, migration, and invasion, and increased FOXM1 expression and the luciferase activity
of FOXM1-wt. Further, miR-1284 negatively regulated FOXM1 expression. FOXM1 knockdown reduced cell viability, migration, and invasion by propofol treatment plus miR-1284 suppression. In conclusion, our study indicated that propofol could inhibit cell viability, migration, invasion, and the
EMT process in lung cancer cells by regulation of miR-1284.
