摘要: The transient transfection of survivin-targeted siRNA to Lovo cells and its influence on the biological features were studied. Two pairs of 19 base pairs (bp) siRNA-specific targeted survivin gene were designed and synthesized by transcription (Survivin-1, Survivin-2). After transient transfection of the two survivin-targeted siRNAs to Lovo cells by Lipofectamine™ 2000, the expression of survivin mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. We found that the expression levels of survivin mRNA of the two RNAi groups (Survivin-1 group and Survivin-2 group) respectively decreased by 70% and 39.1% compared with the control Lovo’s. Seventy-two hours after transfection, apoptosis rates of the two RNAi groups were 21.51% and 26.28%, both of which were higher than control Lovo’s (9.03%). The results at 72 h after transfection were that the optical density (OD) at 490 nm of the two RNAi groups was 0.581±0.070 and 0.681±0.104, both of which were much lower than the control Lovo’s (2.060±0.272). Based on the results, we can draw a conclusion that the two survivin-targeted siRNAs successfully suppressed the expression of survivin mRNA, inhibited cell growth and induce cell apoptosis. It provides a powerful evidence for colorectal carcinoma gene therapy.

Molecular engineering of dendrimer nanovectors for siRNA delivery and gene silencing

Yu Cao, Xiaoxuan Liu, Ling Peng

《化学科学与工程前沿(英文)》 2017年 第11卷 第4期   页码 663-675 doi: 10.1007/s11705-017-1623-5

摘要: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics hold great promise to treat a variety of diseases, as long as they can be delivered safely and effectively into cells. Dendrimers are appealing vectors for siRNA delivery by virtue of their well-defined molecular architecture and multivalent cooperativity. However, the clinical translation of RNA therapeutics mediated by dendrimer delivery is hampered by the lack of dendrimers that are of high quality to meet good manufacturing practice standard. In this context, we have developed small amphiphilic dendrimers that self-assemble into supramolecular structures, which mimic high-generation dendrimers synthesized with covalent construction, yet are easy to produce in large amount and superior quality. Indeed, the concept of supramolecular dendrimers has proved to be very promising, and has opened up a new avenue for dendrimer-mediated siRNA delivery. A series of self-assembling supramolecular dendrimers have consequently been established, some of them out-performing the currently available nonviral vectors in delivering siRNA to various cell types and , including human primary cells and stem cells. This short review presents a brief introduction to RNAi therapeutics, the obstacles to their delivery and the advantages of dendrimer delivery vectors as well as our bio-inspired structurally flexible dendrimers for siRNA delivery. We then highlight our efforts in creating self-assembling amphiphilic dendrimers to construct supramolecular dendrimer nanosystems for effective siRNA delivery as well as the related structural alterations to enhance delivery efficiency. The advent of self-assembling supramolecular dendrimer nanovectors holds great promise and heralds a new era of dendrimer-mediated delivery of RNA therapeutics in biomedical applications.

摘要: In the present report, cyclin-dependent kinase1 (CDK1) siRNA was transfected into cells to silence the CDK1 gene expression and study its role in the cell cycle and cell apoptosis. The siRNA targeting CDK1 gene was chemically synthesized and transfected into Hela cells by lipofectamine 2000. The expression levels of CDK1 gene and protein were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The cell cycle was analyzed by using DNA content analysis by flow cytometry. Cell apoptosis was detected by the Annexin V/PI method. The morphological changes of transfected cells were examined under the microscopy by Wright-Giemsa stain. CDK1 gene was successfully silenced by its siRNA, and the CDK1 protein expression level was decreased significantly, especially from 48thh to 60thh after transfection. The DNA content analysis showed that transfection of CDK1 siRNA led to cells accumulating in G/M phase. There was no significant difference in the apoptotic rate between transfected cells and the control cells after transfection of CDK1 siRNA for 48 or 60h. More double nucleus or multinucleus cells could be seen under the microscopy among the transfected cells. The decreased CDK1 expression by siRNA silencing gave rise to cell cycle arrest in G/M phase but did not induce apoptosis.

摘要: The effects of hypoxia on the invasion and the related protein expression of Hela cells and the role of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were investigated. The Hela cells were divided into three groups, namely, H (non-transfected Hela cells), H (pGenesil-1 empty plasmid-transfected Hela cells), and H (HIF-1α-shRNA plasmid-transfected Hela cells), and were cultured under hypoxia (1% O) and normoxia for 48h. The expression of HIF-1α, E-cadherin, β-catenin, and actin was detected using Western blot. The scratch test and the invasion assay were applied to examine the invasion in each group. The expression of HIF-1α, E-cadherin, and β-catenin in tumor grafts was assayed immunohistochemically. Western blot results revealed that the bands of HIF-1α, E-cadherin, β-catenin, and actin proteins were detected in the H and H groups under hypoxia for 48h. The expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and actin was detected in the H group under hypoxia for 48h, and normoxia. In the H, H, and H groups under normoxia, and the H group under hypoxia for 48h, no expression of HIF-1α was detectable. The scratch test showed that the invasive ability in the H group was significantly alleviated. Immunohistochemically, it was found that there was a significant difference in the expression of HIF-1α, E-cadherin, and β-catenin between the H and H groups (<0.05), but the difference was not significant between the H and H groups. It was concluded that the effects of hypoxia on the invasion of human cervical cancer Hela cells and the expression of related proteins (E-cadherin, β-catenin, and actin) depend on HIF-1α.

摘要: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of tyrosine kinase Src on Tyrosine 307(Y307) phosphorylation, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity, and on tau phosphorylation. Specific Src siRNA was transfected into cultured mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells to inhibit the expression of Src protein, and the phosphorylation levels of PP2A Y307 and tau at different sites, as well as PP2A activity were detected at different time points after siRNA transfection. Twelve hours after siRNA transfection, the protein level of Src was dramatically decreased, with decreased PP2A Y307 phosphorylation. However, the total PP2A protein level was also decreased, together with a decreased PP2A activity. Tau was hyperphosphorylated at the Ser198/199/202 sites. Multiple factors may be involved in the cellular regulation of PP2A activity. Inhibiting Src expression could induce inactivation of PP2A and tau hyperphosphorylation.

摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of pirh2 (p53-induced RING-H2) protein in the proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle control of the lung cancer cell line A549. Pirh2 expression was detected by immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cell proliferation was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Cell cycle control and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that pirh2 was expressed in the cytoplasm of A549 cells. The inhibition of pirh2 expression by siRNA (psiRNA-pirh2) resulted in reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. In addition, the number of G/G phase cells was increased but G/M cells were not affected significantly. Taken together, the inhibition of pirh2 expression in the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 resulted in reduced tumor cell growth via the inhibition of cell proliferation, the activation of apoptosis and the interruption of cell cycle transition.
