Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of exosomes long non-coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19) on the migration and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 30 lung adenocarcinoma patients with distant metastasis (metastasis group), 30 patients without distant metastasis (non-metastasis group) and 30 healthy controls (normal control group). The exosomes were isolated from plasma supernatant obtained from separating monocytes, and the exosomes were separated from culture supernatant collected from human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. The expression levels of exosomes lncRNA H19 mRNA were detected and compared among three groups by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). A549 cell models with stable H19 knockdown were constructed by lentivirus-mediated H19 shRNA. The binding between lncRNA H19 and microRNA-7 (miR-7) was verified by luciferase assay. The effect of stable lncRNA H19 knockdown upon the migration and invasion of A549 cells was evaluated by wound healing test and Transwell chamber test. The effect of stable lncRNA H19 knockdown upon the expression levels of KLF4 and VEGF proteins was assessed by Western Blot. Results The exosomes were successfully isolated. Compared with the non-metastasis group, the expression level of lncRNA H19 mRNA in the peripheral blood exosomes in the metastasis group was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.01). Compared with the control cells, the expression level of lncRNA H19 mRNA in the exosomes of A549 cells with stable lncRNA H19 knockdown was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.01). Wound healing test and Transwell chamber test demonstrated that the migration and invasion of A549 cells were significantly decreased after lncRNA H19 knockdown. The fluorescent intensity of A549 cells was significantly decreased after wild-type lncRNA H19 was co-transfected with miR-7 (P < 0.01), whereas the fluorescent intensity of A549 cells did not significantly change after the co-transfection of mutant lncRNA H19 and miR-7 (P >0.05). The expression levels of KLF4 and VEGF in the A549 cells were significantly down-regulated after stable lncRNA H19 knockdown (both P < 0.05). Conclusion Exosomes lncRNA H19 may play a role in the migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells, which is probably correlated with the competitive binding with miR-7 and the miR-7/KLF4/VEGF signaling pathway.
