ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

After glucose regulated protein 94 (GRP94) was knockout in model mice of transplanted tumor, cel ular adhesion is terminated, thus stimulating the proliferation of liver-derived cel s and promoting the development of liver cancer. We speculate that GRP94 plays a protective role against liver cancer.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the expression of endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperone GRP94 mRNA and protein with smal interfering RNA technique in nude mice model of transplantable human ovarian carcinoma, and to explore the effect of GRP94 mRNA and protein expression on the growth of transplanted tumor.

METHODS:

The gene sequences of human GRP94 were obtained from Gene Bank. psiSTRIKETM/GRP94 was constructed, which is eukaryotic expression vector control ed by the U6 promoter of human RNA polymerase Ⅲ. The transplantable model of human ovarian carcinoma in nude mice was established using human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cel line. The eukaryotic expression vector was transfected into the transplanted tumors in nude mice, and the growth of the tumor was observed. The nude mice models were divided into three groups, specific smal interfering RNA group, non-specific smal interfering RNA group and saline control group. The volumes of the subcutaneous tumor were determined. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of GRP94 respectively. RESULTS AND

CONCLUSION:

The recombinant plasmid of RNA interference specific for GRP94 was successful y constructed. The subcutaneous tumors appeared in al the nude mice 5 days after transplantation. The diameter of subcutaneous tumors was 7-10 mm 14 days after transplantation. The growth of subcutaneous tumors in nude mice with interference specific for GRP94 treatment was significantly decreased as compared with non-specific smal interfering RNA group and control group (P<0.05). The proliferation activity was inhibited by 65.1%. The expression of GRP94 mRNA and protein was significantly down-regulated after treatment of psiSTRIKETM/GRP94 (P<0.01). The transfection of psiSTRIKETM/GRP94 could significantly induce inhibitory effects on the growth of ovarian carcinoma in nude mice, and the underlying mechanism is associated with the down-regulated expression of GRP94 mRNA and protein.
