ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of CD44 gene silence on the drug resistance and biologic activity of human multidrug resistant leukemia cell line K562/A02. The oligonucleotides of CD44 gene were designed according to related data of GenBank, double-stranded DNA was produced by annealing, and was inserted into pGCsilencerU6/Neo/GFP vector. The resultant recombinant plasmid pGCsiRNA-CD44 was transfected into K562/A02 cell line. Expressions of CD44, mdr-1 and blc-2 mRNA were assayed by real time RT-PCR. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of doxorubicin (ADM) for K562/A02 cell line was determined by MTT method. Cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry. The morphology of apoptotic cells was examined by Hochst 33258 staining. The results indicated that the siRNA eukaryotic plasmid directing at CD44 gene could effectively silence the CD44 gene of K562/A02 cells; as compared with control group, the CD44 expression in K562/A02 cells transfected with 4 pGCsiRNA-CD44 plasmids was obviously inhibited, while the inhibition of CD44 expression in cells transfected with siCD44-1 was strongest. After being transfected with pGCsiRNA-CD44, the expression of CD44 mRNA in K562/A02 cells reduced by 64.1% (p<0.05), at the same time the expression of mdr-1 and bcl-2 mRNA in pGCsiRNA-CD44-transfected K562/A02 cells reduced by 25.6% and 50.8% respectively. IC50 of K562/A02 cells after transfection decreased to (8.77+/-1.63) microg/ml and was obviously lower than that of control (17.97+/-1.61) microg/ml (p<0.01). After transfection for 48 hours, the ratio of K562/A02 cells in G0/G1 increased by 10.7%, and the cells displayed karyopyknosis, nuclear margination and apoptotic bodies. It is concluded that the siRNA plasmid specifically targeting CD44 gene can remarkably down-regulate the expression of CD44 gene, inhibit K562/A02 cell proliferation, induce its apoptosis and effectively reverse the multidrug resistance of K562/A02 cells.
