Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of silencing Nek2 via RNAi on cell cycle of ovarian cancer SKOV 3 cells and the re‐lated molecular mechanism .Methods The Nek2‐siRNA was transfected into the ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells .The change of cell cy‐cle of SKOV3 cells at 48 h after transfection was examined by the flow cytometry technique ;Western blot assay was used to deter‐mine the change of level of the cell cycle related factors cyclinB1 ,CDK1 ,P27 and the phosphorylation level of the ERK1/2 after Nek2‐siRNA transfection for 48 h .Results The flow cytometry detection results showed that the proportion of the cells in G 2/M stage in the blank control group ,negative control group and RNAi group was 13 .72% ,12 .27% and 1 .56% respectively .Compared with the control group ,the number of the cells in G2/M stage in the transfected group was reduced obviously (P< 0 .05) .The Western blot detection results showed that compared with the control group ,the expression of cyclinB1 and CDK1 protein in SK‐OV3 cells was significantly reduced ,the expression of P27 was increased after silencing Nek2 and the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 in SKOV3 cells was significantly reduced after silencing Nek2 gene(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Silencing Nek2 gene might block the ovarian cancer cell line SKOV 3 initiating mitosis ,thus inhibit their proliferation .
