Abstract:
Objective To establish U251 cells with inhibited expression of interferon-γ inducible protein 30 (IFI30), and to investigate the effect of IFI30 on cell biological function as well as its underlying mechanism. Methods Three knockdown sequences which target IFI30 were designed online and 3 small interfering RNAs (siRNA) were synthesized. After transfection, the inhibition efficiency was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The siRNA sequence with the highest inhibition efficiency was selected to create short hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmids. The recombinant plasmids and packaging plasmids were co-transfected into HEK293T cells to prepare lentivirus. The glioma U251 cells were transfected with lentivirus, and the positive cells were screened by puromycin. CCK-8 assay, 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and colony formation assays were used to analyze cell proliferation; the flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle and apoptosis; the TranswellTM assay was used to detect cell invasion; the wound-healing assay was employed to detect cell migration, and western blot analysis to detect the protein expresison of cyclin D1, B-cell lymphoma factor 2 (Bcl2), epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), neural cadherin (N-cadherin), signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). Results The sequence which effectively target IFI30 was screened and U251 cell line capable of inhibiting the IFI30 expression was successfully established. When IFI30 expression was knocked down, the proliferation of U251 cells was inhibited, along with increased ratio of cells in the phase G0/G1, the decreased phase S, the increased rate of cell apoptosis. The cell invasion and migration capabilities was also reduced. The decreased expression of cyclin D1, Bcl2 and N-cadherin were observed in U251 cells, and the expression of E-cadherin and the phosphorylation of STAT1 were found increased. Conclusion Knockdown of IFI30 inhibits the proliferation, invasion and migration of human glioma cell U251 and promotes its apoptosis by activating STAT1.
