沉默NANOG表达对人肝癌细胞HepG2中cyclin D1表达及细胞增殖的影响

 目的:探讨RNA干扰沉默NANOG表达后对肝癌细胞HepG2中细胞周期素D1(cyclin D1)表达及细胞增殖的影响。方法:将以NANOG基因为靶点的NANOG-siRNA瞬时转染肝癌细胞HepG2，real-time PCR和Western boltting检测NANOG、cyclin D1 mRNA和蛋白的表达，CCK-8和平板克隆形成实验检测细胞增殖能力，流式细胞术检测细胞周期情况。结果:与mock组比较，转染NANOG-siRNA后，肝癌细胞HepG2中NANOG、cyclin D1 mRNA和蛋白水平均下调(P＜0.05)，细胞增殖能力下降(P＜0.05)，进入G 0/G 1期的细胞比例增多(P＜0.05)。结论:沉默NANOG表达可引起肝癌细胞HepG2中cyclin D1的表达下降，导致细胞增殖能力下降。

Effect of NANOG silencing on cyclin D1 expression and proliferation in human hepatoma HepG2 cells

AIM:To investigate the effect of NANOG silencing on cyclin D1 expression and proliferation in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. METHODS:Transient transfection of NANOG targeting siRNA into HepG2 cells was performed. The expression of NANOG and cyclin D1 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay, and cell cycle was tested by flow cytometry. RESULTS:After transfection with NANOG-targeting siRNA, the inhibition of NANOG expression was observed. Compared with mock group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of NANOG and cyclin D1 were decreased (P<005). In addition, knockdown of NANOG expression inhibited the cell proliferation and increased the proportion of G 0/G 1-phase cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Silencing of NANOG expression in HepG2 cells causes down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression and decreases the cell proliferation ability.
