ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of small interfering RNA (siRNA) recombinant expression vector targeting survivin gene on chemotherapy sensitivity of human colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting survivin gene was constructed and transfected into human colon cancer cell lines LOVO. After 48 hours of transfection, cells were harvested for analysis of survivin mRNA and protein expressions using RT-PCR and Western blot. In addition, after human colon cancer cell lines were treated with Survivin siRNA and/or 5-fluorouracil, MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to analyze cell proliferation and apoptosis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Restriction endonuclease analysis confirmed that siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting survivin gene was successfully constructed. Inhibitory ratios of survivin mRNA and protein expressions by Survivin siRNA were 36.33% and 44.65%, respectively. Survivin siRNA combined with 5-fluorouracil significantly increased the cell proliferation inhibitory ratio and apoptosis ratio compared with 5-fluorouracil treating alone (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting survivin gene can inhibit the expression of survivin gene, and enhance chemotherapy sensitivity of human colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil.</p>

ABSTRACT

In order to maximize the efficiency and versatility of the vector-based siRNA approach, we have developed a novel siRNA expression vector containing multiple tandem siRNA cassettes to investigate the synergistic inhibitory effect of it on human colon cancer cells proliferation. Multiple siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting simultaneously Livin and Survivin genes was constructed and transfected into human colon cancer cell. The effect of multiple siRNA recombinant expression vector was detected by RT-PCR, Western blotting and flow cytometry. It was confirmed by restriction endonuclease and sequence analysis that multiple siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting simultaneously Livin and Survivin genes was constructed successfully. Livin and Survivin genes inhibition ratio of Livin and Survivin siRNA at mRNA levels were 27.90% and 32.24%, at protein levels were 22.28% and 40.86%, the apoptotic ratio was (11.69 +/- 1.37) %, but the synergistic effect was weaker than Livin and Survivin RNA interference, respectively. The multiple siRNA recombinant expression vector targeting simultaneously Livin and Survivin genes has been constructed successfully. It can inhibit the expression of Livin and Survivin genes in human colon cancer cells, but the synergistic effect was weaker than Livin and Survivin RNA interferences, respectively.
