Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of PcG member NSPc1 on proliferation of HeLa cells.Methods Using bioinfomatic analysis to design the siRNA sequence to knockdown NSPc1.Detecting the expression level of NSPc1 in HeLa cell line using semi-quantitative RT-PCR,Real-time PCR and Western blot after transfection of the designed siRNA.Transient transfecting pSUPER-NSPc1 into Hela cells and performing BrdU incorporation assay.Establishing NSPc1 stably knockdown cell line,comparing proliferation abilities with the control cells.Results(1)The designed siRNA did efficiently knockdown the expression of NSPc1;(2)Transient knockdown of NSPc1 could repress BrdU incorporation;(3) The established NSPc1-knockdown cell lines had a significantly lower proliferation rate than that of control cells.Conclusion The expression of NSPc1 is necessary for the normal proliferation of HeLa cells.The NSPc1 stably knockdown cell pool is a useful model for further study of pathway related to NSPc1.
