目的:探讨RNA干扰技术对人卵巢癌细胞SKOV3中mTOR的表达及对细胞增殖与凋亡的影响。方法:培养SKOV3细胞系,设计合成mTOR siRNA实验分4组:正常培养组:未转染的正常培养SKOV3细胞;空白对照组:转染空脂质体的SKOV3细胞;转染组:转染mTOR siRNA的SKOV3细胞;无义对照组:转染无义siRNA的SKOV3细胞。采用Western blot法检测各组细胞中的mTOR蛋白表达水平;应用MTT法检测细胞增殖;流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡。结果:mTOR siRNA转染组SK-OV3细胞mTOR蛋白的表达显著低于各对照组(P〈0.05);mTOR siRNA转染组SKOV3细胞增殖低于各对照组(P〈0.05);mTOR siRNA转染组细胞凋亡率高于各对照组(P〈0.05)。结论:mTOR siRNA对SKOV3细胞中mTOR蛋白的表达有明显的抑制作用,特异性阻断mTOR基因表达可显著抑制SKOV3细胞的增殖并促进其凋亡。
Objective:To explore the effect of RNA interference technique on mTOR expression,proliferation and apoptosis of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells.Methods:SKOV3 cell line was cultured and divided into 4 group: normal culture group(normal SKOV2 cells without transfection),blank control group(SKOV3 cells transfected by blank liposome),transfection group(SKOV3 cells transfected by mTOR siRNA),and non-sense control group(SKOV3 cells transfected by non-sense siRNA).Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of mTOR protein in the four groups;MTT method was used to detect cell proliferation;flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis.Results:The expression level of mTOR protein in transfection group was statistically significantly lower than those in the other three groups(P0.05);the rate of cell proliferation in transfection group was statistically significantly lower than those in the other three groups(P0.05);the rate of cell apoptosis in transfection group was statistically significantly higher than those in the other three groups(P0.05).Conclusion:mTOR siRNA inhibits mTOR protein expression in SKOV3 cells obviously,blocking mTOR protein specifically can inhibit proliferation of SKOV3 cells and promote its apoptosis.
