Abstract:
Objective DNA methytransferase 1(DNMT1)is highly expressed in many cancers and lowly expressed in normal adult cells.This study was to assess effects of DNMT1 gene silencing on proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell line PaTu8988.Methods It is divided into four groups:Control group,Lipofectamine 2000 group,Negative control siRNA(N-siRNA)group(30 nM)and siRNA group(30nM).The expression levels of DNMT1 mRNA were detected by real-time PCR to assess the efficiency of DNMT1 gene silencing.Cell proliferation was analyzed by WST-8 assay;Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry.Results Relative to Control group,48h after transfection of DNMT1 siRNA,The inhibitory rates of DNMT1 mRNA levels in PaTu8988 cells was(86.0±4.3)%.Cell survival rate was declined to 47.6±5.6%from Control group(100.7±3.0%),Lipofectamine 2000 group(64.5±6.8%),N-siRNA group(68.1±4.1%)(P＜0.05);Cell apoptosis rate was increased from Control group(7.51±1.12)%to siRNA group (14.94±2.89)%(P＜0.05),respectively,48h after transfection of DNMT1 siRNA.Conclusions DNMT1siRNA can efficiently and specifically knockdown the expression of DNMT1 mRNA and inhibit the proliferation of PaTu8988 cells,and induce cell apoptosis.It provides evidence for gene therapy of pancreatic cancer.
