ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of lysyl oxidase (LOX) gene expression on proliferation, invasion and radiotherapy sensitivity in laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells. Methods Hep-2 cells were divided into control group (normal cultured), negative control group (transfection reagent) and transfection group (LOX siRNA transfected). The expressions of LOX, Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA were detected by real time-PCR and Western blot methods. The cell sur-vival rate and apoptosis irradiated by different doses of X-rays (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 Gy) were detected by MTT and flow cytometry (FCM). Results The expression levels of LOX, Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein and mRNA were sig-nificantly lower in Hep-2 cells after transfection than those of control group and negative control group (P<0.05). The cell survival rate was significantly inhibited 24 hours after irradiation (12, 15 and 18 Gy) in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of transfection cells combined with radiotherapy was significantly higher than that of control and the nega-tive control groups (%79.11 ± 1.26 vs 5.01 ± 1.02, 4.95 ± 1.12, 43.21 ± 2.1,P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of LOX can be down-regulated after LOX siRNA transfection, inhibiting proliferation and enhancing radiosensitivity, which may be related to the down-regulation of Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expression.
