ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the influence of silencing Bcl-2 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on Bcl-2 protein expression, cell apoptosis rate and radiosensitivity of gastric cancer BGC823 cells.@*METHODS@#siRNA segment for Bcl-2 gene was designed and synthesized, then was induced into gastric cancer BGC 823 cells by liposome transfection. Bcl-2 protein expression was detected by Western Blotting. After X radiation, flow cytometry and clone forming assay were used to determine the effects of RNA interference on BGC823 cell apoptosis rate and radiosensitivity.@*RESULT@#After the transfection of Bcl-2 siRNA, the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein in BGC823 cells was (35.45±2.35)%. Compared with the control group and negative siRNA transfection group, the rate was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of BGC823-RNAi cell was (10.81±0.91)%, which was significantly higher than the control group and negative siRNA transfection group (P<0.01). After 48h X radiation, the apoptosis rate of BGC823-RNAi was (28.91±1.40)%, which was significantly higher than the control group and the group without radiation (P<0.01). During clone forming assay D(0), D(q) and SF(2) values in Bcl-2 siRNA1 transfection group were all lower than those in the control group. The radiosensitivity ratio was 1.28 (the ratio of D(0)) and 1.60 (the ratio of D(q)).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Specific siRNA of Bcl-2 gene can effectively inhibit the expression of Bcl-2 gene, enhance the radiosensitivity and apoptosis of gastric cancer BGC823 cells, having good clinical application perspective.
