Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Bmal1 on proliferation in gastric cancer cells and the molecular mechanism, and to provide theoretical and experimental basis for further research targeting circadian therapy for gastric cancer. Methods Applying RNAi technique to silence Bmal1 gene in BGC823 was regarded as experimental group. The normal BGC823 was as control group. The inhibitory effect of the cell line was measured by MTT assay. The mRNA expression of p53, c-Jun and c-Fos was evaluated by real-time RT-PCR. Results Comparing with the data of control group,the inhibitive rates of cell growth in experimental group after 6 h,12 h,24 h were 5.78%(P=0.001),9.20%(P=0.00)and 83.08%(P=0.00)respectively. Down-regulation of Bmal1 decreased p53 (P<0.05), while increased c-Fos and c-Jun expression (P > 0.05). Conclusion RNAi targeting Bmal1 has effects on gastric cancer proliferation by down-regulating p53 mRNA.
