ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the influence of RNA interference targeting against survivin gene on the biological behaviors of human adenoid cystic cancer (ACC) cells and propose the action mechanism.METHOD:
Specific siRNA (small interfering RNA) was constructed and transfected into ACC-2 cells using liposomes. The expressions of survivin and Caspase-3 in the transfected ACC-2 cells were detected by Western Blot and RT-PCR. Cell apoptosis was detected by transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL method and flow cytometry; ultrastructural changes and cell cycles were observed.RESULTS:
Recombinant siRNA interference plasmid specifically targeting against survivin gene was constructed successfully. Survivin protein expression in the transfected ACC-2 cells was downregulated significantly, while Caspase-3 protein and mRNA expressions were upregulated and cell proliferation was inhibited considerably.CONCLUSION:
Recombinant siRNA interference plasmid inhibited survivin mRNA and protein expressions at high efficiency, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of ACC cells.
