Effects of Bmi-1 RNAi gene on laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To construct the Bmi-1 RNAi expression vector and investigate its influence on the proliferation and invasiveness of laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells.@*METHOD@#The recombinant vshRNA-Bmi-1 plasmid of Bmi-1 RNAi was constructed by the lentiviral expression system, pHelper1.0/pHelper2.0/pGCL2GFP. Bmi-1mRNA and protein expressions of stably transfected laryngeal carcinoma cells were identified tespectively by real-time PCR and Western blot analyses. The changes of the proliferation and invasiveness of laryngeal carcinoma were detected by clone formation test and an invasion assay.@*RESULT@#The Bmi-1 mRNA expressions of stably transfected laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells were significantly decreased. The expression of Bmi-1 protein in laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells was significantly decreased. And the inhibitory rates were 79% and 88% respectively. Whereas the proliferation and invasiveness of Hep-2 cells were significantly reduced.@*CONCLUSION@#The Bmi-1 RNAi expression vector were constructed successful. Reduced Bmi-1 expression of Hep-2 cells demonstrated the role of Bmi-1 RNAi in restraining proliferation and invasiveness of laryngeal carcinoma cells.
