Effect of Musashi-1 siRNA on proliferation of human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116

Objective To explore the effect of siRNA on Musashi-1 gene expression of proliferation of human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116. Methods Two specific siRNAs of Musashi-1 were cloned into the vector pGenSil-1 and transfected into HCT116 cells by Li- pofectamineTM 2000. The expression levels of Musashi-1 mRNA were detected by PCR in real time. Cell proliferation was determined by MTT, and the changes in cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry. Results The siRNA sequences were successfully inserted into the eu- karyotic expression vector pGenSil-1. The sequence specific siRNA efficiently down regulated the Musashi-1 expression at mRNA levels. MTT results showed that the rate of HCT116 cells was decreased markedly and the number of cells at S stage was obviously decreased. Conclusion The synthesized siRNA can effectively decrease the Musashi-1 gene expression and inhibit cell proliferation.
