ZNF139 increases multidrug resistance in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting miR-185.

ABSTRACT: It has been reported that the expression of zinc finger protein 139 (ZNF139) and microRNA-185 (miR-185) were associated with proliferation, drug resistance of gastric cancer (GC) cells. However, the detailed mechanisms have not been fully investigated. The expression of ZNF139 in both GC tissues and cell lines was tested, then SGC7901/ADR or SGC7901 cells were transfected with ZNF139-siRNA, miR-185 analog, or pcDNA-ZNF139. Cell activity was determined by MTT assay. Real-time PCR and Western blot were utilized to detect ZNF139, miR-185, and multidrug resistance (MDR) related genes including MDR1/P-gp, GST-π, MRP-1, Bcl-2, TS and Bax. ChIP and dual luciferase activity assay were used to investigate regulation between ZNF139 and miR-185 Increased ZNF139 and
