Knockdown of TRIM27 expression regulates cell proliferation, invasion and migration in human nasopharyngeal 5-8F carcinoma cells / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate the expression characteristics of TRIM 27 in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues, nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells and NP69 cells, and to observe the effect of TRIM27 on the proliferation, in-vasion and migration of 5-8F cells.METHODS:The levels of TRIM27 in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues were observed by the method of immunohistochemistry .The mRNA and protein levels of TRIM27 in the 5-8F cells and NP69 cells were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot .TRIM27 siRNA was trans-fected into the 5-8F cells with Lipofectamine 2000.The relative mRNA expression of TRIM27 was detected by real-time PCR.The relative protein expression of TRIM 27 was detected by Western blot .The cell proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 assay and cell colony formation assay .The change of cell invasion was examined by Matrigel invasion assay .The change of cell migration were examined by wound healing assay .RESULTS:The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression of TRIM27 in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues was obviously higher than that in the normal nasopha -ryngeal epithelial tissues .The results of real-time PCR and Western blot showed that the mRNA and protein levels of TRIM27 in the 5-8F cells were obviously higher than those in the NP69 cells.The abilities of proliferation, invasion and migration in the 5-8F cells were significantly suppressed after TRIM27 gene silencing ( P <0.05).CONCLUSION:TRIM27 acts as a oncogene in the 5-8F nasopharygeal carcinoma cells .The abilities of proliferation , invasion and migration are significantly suppressed after TRIM27 gene silencing in the 5-8F cells.
