ABSTRACT
Objective To study the role of Med19 in bladder cancer by analyzing the effects of lentivirus-mediated suppression of Med19 expression on T24 bladder cancer cells in vitro.Methods The lentivirus vectors containing a small hairpin RNA (shRNA) to target Med19 were constructed.After T24 bladder cancer cells were infected,real-time PCR and Western-blotting were used to study the Med19 expressions in the CON group (non-infected cells),the NC group (Lv-NC-infected cells) and the KD group (Lv-shMed19-infected cells).The influence of Med19 on the proliferation of bladder cancer cells were assessed using MTT,BrdU,colony formation assay and tumorigenicity experiment in mice.Cell cycle was analyzed with flow cytometry assay.Results Med19 relative mRNA level (0.35 ± 0.03) and Med19 protein expressing in the KD group were significantly inhibited (P < 0.05).The KD group displayed an increased proportion of cells (77.50 ± 0.29)% in the G0/G1 phase compared with the CON group (69.81 ± 0.81)%and NC group (67.53 ± 0.67) % (P < 0.05).Compared with the CON group and the NC group,the KD group displayed a significant cell proliferation defect by MTT and BrdU assay and the number of colonies (91.33 ± 6.11) was significant decreased (P < 0.05).On the day 24,the tumor volume (596.64 ± 485.36) mm3 and weight (0.57 ± 0.44) g of the KD group mice were decreased after inoculation into nude mice (P < 0.05).Specific lentivirus-mediated knockdown of Med19 significantly impacted the cell cycle and proliferation of bladder cancer cells.Infected T24 cells nearly lost their tumorigenicity when being inoculated into nude mice.Conclusion Our results provide new evidence of an important role for Med19 in the development of bladder cancer,suggesting that lentiviruses delivering shRNA against Med19 may be a promising tool for bladder cancer therapy.
