Objective To investigate the effect of RNAi technology in inhibiting gene expression of MuRF-1 or FOXO3a in vitro, establishing a foundation for RNAi mediated gene therapy for denervated skeletal muscle atrophy. Methods Rat muscle cell line L6 was transfected with MuRF-1 or FOXO3a siRNA plasmid using Lipofectamine 2000. After transfection was optimized, 2 pg of MuRF-1 or FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmid was transfted. At 48 h and 72 h after transfection, the real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the inhibition effect of MuRF-1 and FOXO3a. Protein level was evaluated using Western blotting. Results (1) At 24 h after transfection, strong bright green fluorescence was observed under fluorescence microscopy, indicating high transfection efficiency. (2) Real time quantitative PCR analysis showed mRNA expression was significantly inhibited for both MuRF-1 and FOXO3a after 48 h, with an inhibition rate of 67 % and 54 % respectively. When MuRF- 1 and FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmids were co-transfectied, MuRF-1 and FOXO3a expression was inhibite by 61% and 58 % respectively compared with the control (P 〈 0.05 for both). At 72 h after transfection, the inhibitory rates for MuRF-1 and FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmids at mRNA level were 79 % and 81% respectively. When MuRF-1 and FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmids were co-transfected, MuRF-1 and FOXO3a mRNA was inhibited by 77 % and 72 % respectively, significantly higher than the control group (P 〈 0.05) and higher than that at 48 h. (3) Western blotting showed MuRF-1 and FOXO3a were inhibited by 61% and 46 % respectively. When MuRF-1 and FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmids were co-transfected, MuRF-1 and FOXO3a protein expression was inhibited by 64 % and 42 % respectively, both higher than the control (P 〈 0.05). At 72 h, MuRF-1 and FOXO3a protein expression was inhibited by 70% and 72% respectively, significantly greater than the control. Whenunited MuRF-1 and FOXO3a siRNA recombinant plasmids were co-transfected, MuRF-1 and FOXO3a in
