Effects of HIF-1α silencing on proliferation of rat hepatoma cells

AIM：To study the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) silencing on the proliferation of hepatoma cells under hypoxia. METHODS：Rat hepatoma cell line CBRH-7919 was used in this study. Hypoxia model was established by treating the cells with cobalt chloride (CoCl2). The expression of HIF-1α was silenced by small interfe-rence RNA. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and/or protein expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p21 and cyclin D1 in CBRH-7919 cells under hypoxia. The proliferation of CBRH-7919 cells was measured by the technique of 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation. RESULTS：The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF at mRNA and protein levels was significantly increased under hypoxia (P<0.05). Silencing of HIF-1α significantly inhibited the expression of HIF-1α, VEGF and cyclin D1 at mRNA and/or protein levels, while increased the protein expression of p21 (P<0.05). The BrdU-positive cells in HIF-1α siRNA transfection group were significantly less than those in control group. CONCLUSION：HIF-1α silencing significantly inhibits the proliferation of hepatoma cells under hypoxia.     

Potential allelopathic influence of certain pasture weeds

Laboratory and growth chamber research was conducted to determine the potential allelopathy of tissue harvested from certain weeds commonly found in pastures. Results of bioassays indicated that the weeds dogfennel and mayweed chamomile are potentially allelopathic to alfalfa and Italian ryegrass seedlings. Leaf-tissue extracts from the two weed species reduced seedling growth more than stem and root extracts. In most experiments alfalfa seedlings were influenced more than Italian ryegrass seedlings and seedling growth was influenced more than seed germination. Leaf tissue from the weed species mixed into potting soil at a concentration as low as 0.25% (w/w) significantly reduced alfalfa and Italian ryegrass plant development and foliage production. Extract and tissue concentration used in this research were estimated to be similar to concentrations expected to occur within the pasture ecosystem and below concentrations that would result in hypertonicity in the bioassays.

Effects of RNA interference targeting CDC25agene on proliferation of human liver cancer HepG2 cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of silencing cell division cycle 25a (CDC25a) gene on the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. METHODS: CDC25agene in human hepatoma HepG2 cells was silenced by RNA interference. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the expression of CDC25a, cyclin E and CDK2 at mRNA levels in the HepG2 cells. Western blotting was applied to detect the expression of CDC25a at protein level. In addition, MTT assay, Giemsa staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. RESULTS: The expression of CDC25a at mRNA and protein levels in RNA silence group was lower than those in negative control group and normal control group (P＜0.05). The mRNA expression of cyclin E and CDK2 in silence group was lower than that in negative control group and normal control group (P＜0.05). The cell proliferation in silence group was lower than that in negative control group and normal control group (P＜0.05). The results of flow cytometry revealed that the cells in silence group were blocked in G1 phase. CONCLUSION: Infection of LV-CDC25a-RNAi recombinant to the HepG2 cells effectively inhibits the CDC25agene expression and the proliferation of human hepatoma cells, and arrests the cells in G1 phase, suggesting that CDC25agene may be a key target for the treatment of liver cancer.
