ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of siRNA-mediated inhibition of NF-κB on apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Specific small interfering RNA Targeting NF-κB gene was synthesized and transfected into HepG2 cells by liposomes. Nested RT-PCR and quantitative RT-PCR were used to detect the mRNA expression of NF-κB. Immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot were performed to examine the protein expression of NF-κB. Annexin V-FITC was used to test cell apoptosis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of NF-κB in HepG2 cells (1.13+/-0.03) was significantly higher (t=27.02, P<0.05) than that in normal hepatocytes (0.29+/-0.07). The down-regulation of NF-κB expression was depended on the dosage of siRNA and the time after transfection. 72 h after siRNA transfection, NF-κB expression reduced by 93% and 62% at the mRNA and protein levels, respectively. The apoptosis of HepG2 cells increased by 85% with NF-κB inhibition.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>NF-κB is abnormally active in HepG2 cells and NF-κB inhibition mediated by siRNA promotes HepG2 cells apoptosis. It suggested that NF-κB could be a potential target for HCC prevention gene therapy.</p>
