ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of downregulation expression of Nanog on malignant behavior of cervical cancer HeLa cells.METHODS:
Gene editing tool TALENs was employed to induce downregulation expression of Nanog, and Nanog mutation was evaluated by sequencing. RT-PCR and Western blot was used to detect the mRNA and protein expression level, respectively. Colony-formation assay, Transwell invasion assay, and chemotherapy sensibility assay was carried out to assess the capacity of colony-formation, invasion, and chemoresistance, respectively.RESULTS:
TALENs successfully induced Nanog mutation and downregulated Nanog expression. Nanog mRNA and protein expression of Nanog-mutated monoclonal HeLa cells downregulated 3 times compared to thoses of wild-type HeLa cells (P < 0.05). Additionally, significant weakened abilities of colony-formation, invasion, and chemoresistance in monoclonal HeLa cells were observed when compared to those of wild-type HeLa cells (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:
Nanog mutation attenuates the malignant behavior of HeLa cells. Importantly, downregulation or silencing of Nanog is promising to be a novel strategy for the treatment of cervical carcinoma.
