短发夹RNA对前列腺癌细胞中PIM-1基因沉默效应的研究

摘要

Objective: To investigate the interference effect of lipofectamine-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on the expression of PIM-1 gene in prostate cancer cell lines. Methods: Three kinds of recombinant plasmid expression vectors (pP[M]- hRNA-1,-2,-3) were constructed, which can produce shRNA targeting different sequence of PIM-1 mRNA. The recombinant plasmid vectors were transfected into PC-3 cell lines, respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the expression of PIM-1 mRNA and protein after transfection. Results: The expression of mRNA and protein of PIM-1 in PC-3 were inhibited significantly at 48h post-transfection. Furthermore, pPLM1- hRNA-2 and pPIM1- hRNA-3 resulted in a stronger silencing effect than that of pPIM- hRNA-1. Conclusion: The recombinant plasmid expression vector which carrying PIM-1 shRNA may remarkably inhibit the expression of PIM-1 mRNA and protein in PC-3 cell lines. The experiment provided the basis for further investigation of the role of PIM-1.%目的:探讨脂质体介导的短发夹RNA(shRNA)对前列腺癌细胞中PIM-1基因表达的影响.方法:构建3种针对PIM-1 mRNA不同靶点的shRNA重组质粒表达载体,并转染前列腺癌PC-3细胞.分别采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)及蛋白印迹法(Westernblot)检测转染后细胞中PIM-1 mRNA及蛋白的表达情况.结果:转染48 h后,3种PIM-1基因靶向性shRNA表达质粒均可抑制PC-3细胞中PIM-1 mRNA和蛋白的表达,其中靶向PIM-1 mRNA第707-725位和1080-1098位序列的重组质粒干扰效果更显著.结论:本研究所构建的PIM-1 shRNA表达质粒可在体外高效特异地抑制前列腺癌细胞中PIM-1的表达,为下一步研究奠定了基础.
