Abstract:
Objective The changes of Mg2+ concentration and cell apoptosis were detected by using siRNA to silence MagT1 in rat cardio myocytes.Methods MagT1 siRNA sequences were designed and synthetized,then transfected into primary cultured rat myocardial cell for silencing MagT1.The expression of MagT1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The changes of Mg2+ concentration in the cells were detected by fluorescence microscopy.Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the cell apoptosis.Results Compared with negative siRNA group,MagT1 siRNA transfected rat cardiomyocytes after 48 h,MagT1 mRNA silence efficiency was 51.83 ％ (P＜0.05),the silence of MagT1 protein efficiency was 56.75 ％ (P＜0.05),intracellular Mg2+ concentration was reduced by 29.13％ (P＜0.05),the apoptosis rate was 31.18％ (P＜0.01);MagT1 siRNA transfected rat cardiomyocytes after 60 h,MagT1 mRNA silence efficiency was 86.91％ (P＜0.01),the silence of MagT1 protein efficiency was 83.85％ (P＜0.01),intracellular Mg2+ concentration was reduced by 41.32％ (P＜0.01),the apoptosis rate was 40.61％ (P＜0.01).Conclusion After the silencing of MagT1,the concentration of Mg2+ in the cells decreased significantly,the apoptotic rate increased significantly,cell life activities are greatly affected.
