Abstract: | AIM:To construct lentiviral vectors for RNA interference (RNAi) of BCL-3 gene, and to detect the changes of biological behaviors and drug sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells after BCL-3 gene silencing. METHODS:The expression of BCL-3 in five human colorectal cancer cell lines was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Lentiviral vectors for RNAi of BCL-3 gene were constructed and transfected into the human colorectal cancer cell line with high expression of BCL-3, and then the silencing effect was detected by Western blotting. After BCL-3 gene silencing, the change of cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and soft agar colony formation assay, and the change of drug sensitivity was detected by MTT assay. RESULTS:BCL-3 was highly expressed in human colorectal cancer cell line RKO. Lentiviral vectors for RNAi of BCL-3 gene were successfully constructed, and Western blotting showed that BCL-3-shRNA2 could efficiently inhibit the expression of BCL-3 protein in RKO cells. After BCL-3 gene silencing, the proliferation ability and colony formation rate of RKO cells were decreased, and the median inhibitory concentration of oxaliplatin for RKO cells also decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of BCL-3 gene expression decreases the proliferation ability of human colorectal cell line RKO with high expression of BCL-3, and enhances the sensitivity of RKO cells to oxaliplatin. |
