Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-450b-5p on the adhesion and migration of human gingival epithelial cells (HGEs) regulated by inflammatory factor IL-1β. Methods: HGEs were cultured in vitro and starved for 12 hours in logarithmic growth period, stimulated by 5 ng/mL IL-1β for 3 hours. Total RNA was extracted by RNAiso Plus and analyzed by small RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR. The migration of HGEs induced by IL-1β was observed by cell scratch assay. After transfected with miR-450b-5p mimic, inhibitor, and NC lentivirus plasmid, the expressions of miR-450b-5p, Integrinβ6 (ITGβ6), Lamininγ2 (LAMC2), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in HGEs regulated by IL-1β were detected by qRT-PCR. Results: Sequencing results and qRT-PCR showed that IL-1β decreased the expression of miR-450b-5p. The expression of ITGβ6, LAMC2, and MMP-9 were increased after IL-1β induction. The expressions of ITGβ6, LAMC2, and MMP-9 genes were inhibited and the increased effect induced by IL-1β was partially reversed by overexpression of miR-450b-5p. However, the opposite result was obtained by knockdown of miR-450b-5p. Cell scratch assay showed that migration of HGEs induced by IL-1β was inhibited by overexpression of miR-450b-5p. Conclusion: MiR-450b-5p inhibits HGEs adhesion and migration induced by IL-1β, suggesting that miR-450b-5p plays an important role in maintaining HGEs stability, inhibiting cell migration and protecting the gingival epithelial barrier.
