ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To construct siRNA eukaryotic expression vector targeting protein kinase CK2?and to investigate its inhibitory effect on invasion of the HEp-2 cell line in human laryngeal carcinoma. METHODS siRNA expression vector psiRNA-hH1neo-CK2 targeting protein kinase CK2?was constructed by gene recombination,and then was transfected into the HEp-2 cells by lipofectamine methods. Protein kinase CK2?mRNA and protein of the transfected cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Western blot,respectively. The invasion of the transfected cells was measured by Boyden chamber.SP method was used to examine the expressions of MMP2 and TIMP2 protein of the transfected HEp-2 cells. RESULTS Protein kinase CK2?siRNA expression vector was successfully constructed by gene recombination. Compared with non-specific interfering groups and blank groups, protein kinase CK2?mRNA and protein were significantly decreased respectively in the psiRNA-hHIneo-CK2 groups(P
