The expression of HIF1-a, miR-301a, its′target gene FOXF2 and EMT markers Vinentin, N-Cadherin and Fibronectin were detected by Western blot .The lentivirus vector expressing miR-301a was constructed and stably transfected CFPAC-1 cells were established using transfected with miR-301 a-NC as control .After the transfection, the cell morphology was observed, and FOXF2 and the EMT markers expression were assessed. The migration and invasion of CFPAC-1 cells was determined by Transwell migration assay and wound healing test.Results The CFPAC-1 cells after being cultured in hypoxic environment had an irregular shape with more fusiform and pseudopodia , loose intercellular connections , and were transformed into mesenchymal cell morphology . By setting the expression of target genes in cells cultured in normoxia as 1, the relative expression of miR-301a was 2.82 ±0.01 after being cultured in hypoxia for 4 d, and HIF-1a level was 2.17 ±0.36, and Vimentin, N-cadherin and Fibronectin level was 5.48 ±0.16, 1.16 ±0.03 and 1.30 ±0.03, respectively, which were significantly upregulated .And FOXF2, E-cadherin , ZO-1,β-catenin expression was 0.45 ± 0.049, 0.61 ±0.049, 0.45 ±0.021, 0.37 ±0.02 respectively, which were significantly downregulated (all P<0.01).By setting the protein expression of target genes in cells transfected with miR-301a-NC as 1, the expression of miR-301a, Fibronectin, Vimentin and N-cadherin in cells transfected with miR-301a were 7.09 ±0.42、1 5.6 ±0.10、1.24 ±0.05、1.37 ±0.01, respectively,which were significantly upregulated .
