ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the inhibitory effect of vector-based RNA interference(RNAi) on the expression of melanoma associated antigen A3(MAGEA3) protein in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and on apotposis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.METHODS:
A vector for transcribing specific small hairpin RNA(shRNA) targeting MAGEA3 gene was constructed,introduced into hepatocellular carcinoma MEL-ED1 cells by Lipofectamine 2000.The MAGEA3 protein and mRNA expression levels of MEL-ED1 cells were detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR, respectively.The cell apoptosis was studied by DNA fragmentation,electron microscopy,TUNEL assay,and annexin V/PI staining.RESULTS:
The vector of RNA interference was successfully constructed and MAGEA3 expression was descreased significantly in MEL-ED1 cells.After the shRNA expression vector was transfected into the MEL-ED1 cells,the expression of MAGEA3 gene was inhibited significantly(by 90%).DNA fragmentation,electron microscopy and TUNEL assay showed classic apoptosis characters in the MEL-ED1 cells transfected with pSilencer-MAGEA3 plasmid with an apoptosis rate of 21.41% ?1.98%,significantly higher than those in the negative control group transfected with pSilencer-neo and in the non-transfected group(both P
