Paeoniflorin inhibits proliferation and migration of psoriatic keratinocytes via the lncRNA NEAT1/miR-3194-5p/Galectin-7 axis

To investigate the mechanism underlying the effect of paeoniflorin (PF) on the proliferation and migration of psoriatic keratinocytes. The expressions of long noncoding RNA NEAT1, miR-3194-5p and Galectin-7 in skin tissues from psoriatic patients and healthy controls were detected. Psoriatic HaCat cells were used to investigate the function of NEAT1 and Galectin-7 as well as the effect and mechanism of PF in psoriasis. MTT, colony formation and scratch assays were used to assess the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to validate the interactions among NEAT1, miR-3194-5p and Galectin-7. NEAT1 and Galectin-7 were lowly expressed and miR-3194-5p was highly expressed in psoriatic patients. PF suppressed the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells by elevating the expressions of NEAT1 and Galectin-7. NEAT1 positively mediated the expression of Galectin-7 by targeting miR-3194-5p. PF controls the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells via the NEAT1/miR-3194-5p/Galectin-7 axis.
