Abstract:
AlM: To silent hypoxia inducible factor-1α ( HlF-1α) gene in malignant melanoma of the choroid cell by small interference RNA ( siRNA ) and investigate its effect on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) in the choroid cell line human uveal melanoma cell (OCM-1) in hypoxia environment.METHODS:OCM-1 cells cultured on culture flask were divided into normal group and hypoxia group. Hypoxia group were divided into five groups: simple hypoxic group, and interference group, and negative control group, and positive control group, and liposome group. Normal group cells were cultured on DMEM culture flask with 10% FBS, 100U/mL penicillin, 100μg/mL streptomycin as well as high concentration of glucose. The cells were maintained at 37℃ in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Cells in good condition were selected for experiment. For hypoxia group, chemical hypoxia inducer CoCl2 was added into nutrient medium at the concentration of 100μmol/L to simulate hypoxia microenvironment. We designed and synthesised siRNA ( siRNA + negative control+positive control ) , the target sequences of the HlF-1α to transfect hypoxic malignant melanoma of the choroid cell. SiRNA including HlF-1α siRNA, β-actin siRNA and negative control group synthesized in vitro transfected hypoxic OCM - 1 cell through Lipofectamine2000. The expression of HlF-1α, MMP-2 gene and the protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the expression of HlF-1α mRNA was not obviously changed (P>0. 05), but the expression of HlF-1α protein and MMP- 2 mRNA protein was significantly higher ( P<0. 05) . Compared with the other hypoxia groups,β-actin mRNA expression of positive control group decreased ( P< 0. 05 ) , which proved successful transfection. The expression of HlF-1α mRNA and the expression of its protein and both MMP-2 mRNA and its protein was significantly lower ( P < 0. 05 ). The negative control group, liposome control group had no significant difference in the detection of factors (P>0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Hypoxia status may upregulate the HlF-1α in OCM-1 cells by increasing the expression of protein. Hypoxia can also inactivate MMP-2, resulting in upregulation of MMP-2 RNA and the expression of its protein. The expression of HlF-1α and MMP-2 mRNA can be down-upregulated by transfecting OCM-1 with HlF-1α siRNA.
