The effects of siRNA targeting Mcl-1 on biological behavior of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma SACC-2 cells / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of siRNA targeting myeloid cell leukemia-1(Mcl-1)on the biological behavior of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells.Methods:The chemically synthesized Mcl-1-siRNA was transfected into salivary adenoid cystic carci-noma SACC-2 cells.The expression levels of Mcl-1-mRNA and Mcl-1protein were examined by Real-time PCR and western blotting respectively.MTT assay,transwell chamber and flow cytometry were used to determine the effect of Mcl-1-siRNA on SACC-2 cell pro-liferation,migration and apoptosis.Results:Compared with the control group,liposome group and NC-siRNA group,SACC-2 cell proliferation rate of Mcl-1-siRNA group was obviously slowed down.48 h after transfection,the migration of SACC-2 cells in Mcl-1-siRNA group(39 ±9.0)were lower than that in control group(69 ±6.0).The apoptosis rate of Mcl-1-siRNA group(8.6%)was sig-nificantly higher than that in control group(1.9%).Conclusion:Silence Mcl-1 can inhibit cell proliferation and migration and pro-mote apoptosis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells.
