Effects of Annexin II gene silencing by siRNA on proliferation and invasive potential of Jurkat lymphoma cells / 中华血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of Annexin II (AnxA2) gene silencing by siRNA on proliferation and invasive potential of lymphoma cell line Jurkat cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A synthesized siRNA duplex targeting to AnxA2 was transfected into Jurkat cells. Transfection efficiency was analyzed by real-time PCR and flow cytometry. MTT assay for cell proliferation and transwell plates for invasive potential were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the negative controls, the cell proliferation inhibitory rate of the AnxA2 siRNA transfected Jurkat cells was significantly increased at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h [(17.4 +/- 2.3)%, (22.4 +/- 3.8)%, (37.6 +/- 1.5)% vs (-1.3 +/- 5.1)%, (-5.5 +/- 4.4)%, (-10.8 +/- 5.5)%, respectively, P<0.05]. The cell invasive potential of the transfected Jurkat cells was inhibited remarkably at 48 h (11.3 +/- 4.2 vs 54.3 +/- 8.7, P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>AnxA2 gene silenced by siRNA can inhibit the proliferation and the invasive potential of Jurkat cells remarkably.</p>
