Effects of annexin Ⅱ antisense vector on the growth of lung cancer cells / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of antisense vector of annexinⅡ gene on the growth of SPC A 1, a human lung cancer cell line. Methods The total RNA was isolated from human lung cancer cell line SPC A 1 and the target DNA fragments were amplified by RT PCR. The antisense expression vector was constructed by double restriction endonuclease cleavage directional clone method. Annexin Ⅱ antisense expression vector was introduced into SPC A 1 cells by liposome transfection reagent. The expression of annexin Ⅱ mRNA was analyzed by semi quantitative RT PCR. The effects of antisense vector of annexinⅡ gene on the growth of SPC A 1 were observed. Results The antisense vector of annexinⅡ gene was constructed and introduced into SPC A 1 cells successfully. Semi quantitative RT PCR showed that the annexin Ⅱ mRNA expression reduced by about two thirds in the transfected cells as compared with that in the untransfected cells. Compared with the untransfected cells, transfected cells decreased significantly in cell growth, clone formation efficiency in plating and DNA synthesis. Cell cycle was blocked in G 0 G 1 phase. Conclusion Annexin Ⅱ could promote the growth of lung cancer cells and may be helpful for the development of lung cancer.
