Abstract:
Aim In order to further explore the feasibility of gene therapy with RNA interference(RNAi) for acute leukemia,we synthesized short hairpin RNA(shRNA)for nucleostemin(NS)in vitro.Methods The designed DNA template consists of the sequence complementary to target mRNA,which was screened out consensus motif of three variants of NS gene,using 5′-UCUCUUGAA-3′ as loop sequence,The sequence of 5′-GGATCCTAATACGACTCACTATA-3′ acts as T7 promoter.Two shRNA were produced by T7 RNA polymerase and named as shRNA-NS-1 and shRNA-NS-2,respectively.The purified shRNA was quantified by gel electrophoresis.The interference effect of shRNA-NS transfected into HL-60 cell was examined by resultant cell morphology and inhibition rate of NS-mRNA expression.Results The concentrations of two shRNA-NS without degradation and diffusion were 5.24 ?mol?L~(-1)and 3.35 ?mol?L~(-1),respectively.There were significant decline in density and aggregation of cells and significant differences in size between cells after interfering HL-60 cell for 48 h.Furthermore,some of HL-60 cells treated by shRNA-NS-2 were changed from round to fusiform shape even with pseudopod.Compared with control group,the inhibition rates of shRNA-NS-1 and shRNA-NS-2 to NS-mRNA expression were 37.82% and 71.88%,respectively.Conclusion The two shRNA for NS gene were successfully constructed,which suppress NS gene expression significantly.shRNA-NS-2 also can chang HL-60 cell′s morphology and might be a useful tool to explore NS gene function and possible therapy for acute leukemia.
