目的 探讨RNA干扰技术沉默Cathepsin L基因对肝癌细胞生物学特性的影响.方法 实验组为肝癌细胞CathepsinL siRNA转染基因沉默组(沉默组),实验对照为肝癌细胞空白对照组(空白组)和siRNA转染荧光蛋白对照组(荧光对照组).观察时间为Cathepsin L siRNA转染后1、3和6 d.观察各组肝癌细胞Cathepsin L siRNA转染效率.用免疫荧光、RT-PCR法及WB法检测肝癌细胞Cathepsin L表达,MTT法检测细胞活力,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期和凋亡变化,侵袭小室法测定肝癌细胞侵袭力变化.结果 沉默组与空白组、荧光对照组比较,Cathepsin L mRNA水平和蛋白水平显著下降,细胞生长受抑制,增殖指数显著下降,细胞凋亡率显著增加,肝癌细胞侵袭力显著下降.结论 RNAi可有效沉默肝癌细胞Cathepsin L表达,降低肝癌细胞增殖活力及细胞侵袭力.

Effect of RNA interference on the bionomics of Cathepsin L of hepatoma carcinoma cells

Objective To explore the effect of RNA interference on the bionomics of Cathepsin L of hepatoma carcinoma cells. Methods In this study, the experimental group was the Cathepsin L RNA interference group. Control groups were the normal blank hepatoma carcinoma cell group (the blank group) and the Cathepsin LRNA interference blank group (the fluorescence control group). Observing times were ld,3d and 6d after RNA interference. Transfection efficiency in each group was observed. Expression of Cathepsin L of hepatoma cells was detected by immunofluorescence, RT-PCR and WB. Cell vigor was detected by MTT assay. Changes in the cell cycle and apoptosis were observed by flow cytometry. Transwell cabin was used to detect the changes of cell invasive power.Results In the experimental group, Cathepsin L mRNA level and protein level significantly decreased, the proliferation index significantly decreased and apoptosis index significantly increased. The invasive power also decreased. Conclusion RNAi interference can inhibit Cathepsin L expression, cell proliferation and cell invasive power efficiently.
