目的观察小分子干扰RNA(siRNA)对胃癌MGC803细胞E2F-1基因表达及其生物学行为的影响。方法将实验组(E2F-1-siRNA)和阴性对照组(negative control-siRNA)转染进MGC803细胞,48h后采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)及Western blot技术分别检测E2F-1mRNA及蛋白的表达,噻唑蓝(M3T)比色法检测MGC803细胞增殖的变化,流式细胞仪检测MGC803细胞周期变化。结果E2F-1-siRNA有效抑制胃癌细胞E2F-1mRNA和蛋白的表达并且影响MGC803细胞的增殖,与阴性对照组及未转染组细胞比较mRNA降低了84.8%和85.3%(F=14.35,P〈0.05),蛋白降低了77.2%和79.6%,MGC803细胞增殖分别抑制了69.0%和81.6%,差异有统计学意义(F=170.18,P〈0.05);同时E2F-1-siRNA促使更多MGC803细胞DNA含量聚集于G2/M期附近,G2/M期DNA含量比例为(54.98±3.46)%,与阴性对照组(44.70±3.82)%和未转染组(31.47±2.12)%比较,差异有统计学意义(F=88.90,P〈0.05)。结论E2F-1-siRNA可以有效抑制人胃癌MGC803细胞E2F-1 mRNA及蛋白的表达,使G1期细胞的DNA含量下调,细胞分裂停滞在G2/M期附近,抑制胃癌细胞的增殖。
Objective To investigate the effects of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting E2F-1 on biological behaviors of gastric cancer cell line MGC803. Methods E2F-1-siRNA or negative control-siR- NA was transfected into gastric cancer cell line MGC803 cells. Forty-eight h later,the expression of E2F-1 mRNA and protein in gastric cancer cell line MGC803 was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot respectively. Cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry, and the proliferative rate of MGC803 cells tested by MTT assay. Results E2F-1-siRNA effectively inhibited the expression of E2F-1 mRNA and protein and influenced proliferation of MGC803 cells. As compared with negative control and nontransfected groups ,the expression levels of E2F-1 mRNA and protein were decreased by 84.8%, 85.3% (P 〈 0. 05 ), and 77.2%, 79.6% , and proliferation of MGC803 cells was suppressed by 69.0% and 81.6% (P 〈 0.05) in E2F-1-siRNA transfection group, respectively. E2F-1-siRNA promoted accumulation of more DNA of MGC803 cells at G2/M phase, and the rate of DNA content in GJM phase in E2F-1- siRNA transfection group was ( 54.98 ± 3.46) %, which was significantly higher than (43.07 ± 3.82) % in negative control group, and (31.47 ± 2.12 )% in non-transfection group (P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusion E2F-1 gene repression by RNAi can decrease the DNA content in G1 phase of MGC803 cells, which can arrest the cells in G2/M phase and inhibit the proliferation of MGCS03 cells.
