ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of TIP30 gene on the growth inhibition of renal carcinoma cell line 786-0 and look for a potential therapeutic target for renal carcinoma.Methods TIP30 gene was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).A eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-TIP30 was constructed and transfected into 786-0 cells;pcDNA3.1(+)was also transfected as control.After transfection,the expression of TIP30 in 786-0 cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.The changes of cell proliferation and cell cycle were observed by MTT and FCM assay.Results The mRNA and protein expressions of TIP30 gene in pcDNA3.1-TIP30-transfected 786-0 cells were significantly increased than those in untreated and pcDNA3.1(+)-transfected cells(P0.05).The inhibitory rate of pcDNA3.1-TIP30-transfected 786-0 cells was significantly higher than those in untreated and pcDNA3.1(+)-transfected cells(P
