目的观察Y盒结合蛋白-1(YB-1)小干扰RNA(siRNA)对肺腺癌A549细胞株表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的影响。方法针对YB-1mRNA设计特异性siRNA及ControlsiRNA序列转染至A549细胞株,采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和Westernblot检测空白组、单纯Lipofectamine2000处理组、ControlsiRNA组及YB-1siRNA组细胞中YB-1和EGFR在mRNA和蛋白水平的表达;通过噻唑蓝(MTT)、侵袭实验观察各组细胞的生物学行为变化。结果RT-PCR和Westernblot结果显示实验组YB-1与EGFR的mRNA和蛋白表达降低(分别为0.3820±0.0094、0.4690±0.0032和0.1820±0.0073、0.4210±0.0049),与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。MTT检测转染72h后YB-1 siRNA组吸光度值为1.34±0.11,同时转染48h后YB-1siRNA组侵袭能力较对照组明显降低(P〈0.05)。结论YB-1siRNA能抑制肺腺癌A549细胞株中EGFR的表达,影响肿瘤增殖和侵袭能力。
Objective To investigate the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) using the small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Y box-binding protein-1 (YB-1) gene in lung adeno- carcinoma cell line A549. Methods Specific siRNA and a negative control sequence in accordance with YB-1 mRNA from GeneBank were designed and then transfected into A549 cells separately. In blank con- trol group, Lipofectamine 2000 treatment group, negative control siRNA group and YB-1 siRNA group, re- verse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were applied to detect the changes of YB-1 and EGFR mRNA and protein expression. Cell proliferation was examined by using MTT assay. The ability of invasion was tested by using cell invasion assay. Results RT-PCR results showed that the expression of YB-1 and EGFR mRNA (0. 3820 ±0. 0094 and 0. 4690 ±0. 0032) in experimental group was decreased significantly as compared with other groups (P 〈 0. 01 for all) , and Western blotting results also showed the expression of YB-1 and EGFR proteins ( 0. 3820 ± 0. 0094 and 0. 4690 ± 0. 0032 ) in ex- perimental group was significantly lower than other groups ( P 〈 0. 05 for all). After transfection the prolif- eration and invasive ability of A549 cells were significantly reduced in experimental group as compared with other control groups. Conclusion Silencing the expression of YB-1 gene by using siRNA can inhibit the expression of EGFR in lung adenocareinoma A549 cell line and thus adjust proliferation and invasion of tumor.
