Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of PIK3CA/siRNA chitosan nanoparticle on the invasiveness of gastric carcinoma and the potential value of PIK3CA/siRNA chitosan nanoparticle in suppressing the metastasis of gastric carcinoma.
METHODSGastric cancer cells were treated with PIK3CA/siRNA nanoparticle (with a diameter of 350 nm), and the efficiency of PIK3CA gene interference was evaluated using Western blotting and real-time PCR. The changes of the invasive capacity of the treated cells was assessed with Transwell assay.
RESULTSPIK3CA/siRNA chitosan nanoparticle efficiently lowered the expression level of PIK3CA and significantly decreased the invasion of BGC823 cells.
CONCLUSIONPIK3CA gene interference mediated by PIK3CA/siRNA chitosan nanoparticle can decrease the invasive capacity of gastric cancer cells in vitro.
