Abstract:
Aim Through interfering the expression of survivin with short hairpin RNA(shRNA) technology,to investigate the effect of downregulation of survivin on cell apoptosis and chemosensitivity to docetaxel in breast cancer MCF-7 cells.Methods(1) Using MCF-7 cells as a model system,three groups were set up transfected with lipofectamine,RNAi control plasmid and survivin RNAi plasmid,respectively.The expression of survivin in MCF-7 cells was measured at transcriptional and translational level by using RT-PCR and Western blot methods.(2) The effect on the cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed with flow cytometry.(3) The viability of cells applied with different doses of ducetaxel was determined by using the method of 3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide reduction(MTT method).Results(1) RT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated that survivin expression was significantly decreased by transfection with RNAi targeting plasmid;the expression proportion was reduced by nearly 75.4% and 79.8%(P
