OBJECTIVE:
To design short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference sequence to silence glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene of androgen independent prostate cancer cell line DU145, and to explore its effect on proliferation and sensitivity to chemotherapeutics.
METHODS:
The target sequence was picked up to form the shRNA, and the 3 shRNA expression vectors were shRNA255, shRNA554 and shRNA593. The DNA template was cloned to plasmid pGPU6/GFP/Neo. The shRNA was identified by enzyme digesting and gene sequencing. The screening experiment was done to pick up the shRNA expression vector with the highest transfection ratio and best gene silencing results. DU145 cells were divided into a blank plasmid group and a shRNA transfected group. According to the chemotherapeutics the DU145 cells were divided into a fluorouracil (FU) group and a paclitaxel (PA) group, and the 2 groups were subdivided into 4 subsets according to the chemotherapeutic concentrations (FU: 30, 60, 120, and 240 μg/mL; PA: 0.2, 2, 10, and 20 μg/mL), meanwhile a blank control group was included respectively. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate the proliferation after the transfection. MTT and terminal de-oxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were used to detect the inhibition effect of different concentrations of 5-FU or PA on the proliferation and induction of apoptosis of DU145.
RESULTS:
The transfection ratio of the 3 shRNA expression vectors (shRNA255, shRNA554, and shRNA593) was (63.30±1.04)%, (76.20±0.68)%, and (72.70±0.33)%, and the transfection ratio of shRNA554 was the highest. there was significant difference among the above 3 shRNA expression vectors (P<0.01). After the transfection, the mRNA was 128.31±2.50, 43.24±4.30 and 85.62±6.30, the GSTP1 protein was 163.92±12.40, 65.38±9.30 and 114.25±16.70. After the transfection of shRNA554, the mRNA and protein of GSTP1 were the lowest level. there was significant difference among the above 3 shRNA expression vector (P<0.01). MTT analysis showed that before the transfection, the survival ratio of cells under different concentrations of FU (30, 60, 120, and 240 μg/mL) was (95.60±2.11)%, (90.20±0.86)%, (83.10±3.12)% and (74.60±1.32)%; however after the transfection, the survival ratio of cells was (91.30±1.43)%, (84.60±2.13)%, (73.20±1.52)%, and (65.5±0.942)%. TUNEL assay showed that before the transfection, the apoptosis ratio of cells under different concentrations of FU (30, 60, 120, and 240 μg/mL) was (5.50±0.88)%, (10.20±1.64)%, (15.20±2.39)%, and (25.10±2.59)%; however after the transfection, the apoptosis ratio of cells was (10.8±0.62)%, (15.7±1.32)%, (20.4±1.89)%, and (34.9±2.54)%. After the transfection, the cell survival ratio decreased under the same concentration of FU, and the apoptosis ratio increased, with statistical significance (both P<0.01). MTT analysis showed that before the transfection, the survival ratio of cells under different concentrations of PA (0.2, 2, 10, and 20 μg/mL) was (98.50±2.34)%, (95.20±1.32)%, (89.40±0.68)%, and (82.70±1.73)%; after the transfection the survival ratio of cells was (94.20±0.78)%, (86.50±2.13)%, (78.70±1.34)%, and (70.10±0.76)%. TUNEL assay showed that before the transfection, the apoptosis ratio of cells under different concentrations of PA (0.2, 2, 10, and 20 μg/mL) were (2.40±1.07)%, (5.20±1.33)%, (10.50±2.41)%, (20.70±1.92)%; after the transfection the apoptosis ratio of cells was (5.46±2.13)%, (13.80±1.24)%, (21.20±2.39)%, and (29.20±2.21)%. After the transfection, the cell survival ratio decreased under the same PA concentration, and the apoptosis ratio increased, with statistical significance (both P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
gene GSTP1 silence via shRNA transfection to androgen independent prostate cancer cell line DU145 can inhibit its proliferation in time dependent manner, and induce apoptosis and raise its sensitivity to chemotherapeutics.

Objective To investigate the influence of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and transcription activator(JAK-STAT)signaling pathway mediated by Kruppel-like factor 14(KLF14)on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods From January 2018 to September 2019,NSCLC tissues from 80 patients and malignancy-free paracancerous tissues from 25 patients were collected.Medical follow-up ended in April 2023.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of KLF14 in tissues,and the patients were divided into a high-expression group and a low-expression group according to the median level of KLF14 expression.Over-expres-sion or knock-down of KLF14 and JAK1 was achieved by transfection of KLF14 and JAK1 overexpression plasmid in A549 cells and transfection of KLF14 and JAK1 specific short hairpin RNA(shKLF14 and shJAK1)in HCC827 cells.The proliferation activity of cells was analyzed by cell clone formation test.Transwell analyzed the migration and invasion of cells.Results As compared with the normal paracancerous tissues,the expression of KLF14 in NSCLC tissue decreased(P<0.001).The low expression of KLF14 was significantly correlated with tumor diameter of>3 cm,lymph node metastasis and clinical stage Ⅲ(P<0.05).There was a significant difference in the overall survival rate between the high KLF14 expression group and the low KLF14 expression group,and the patients with low KLF14 expression had poor prognosis(P = 0.039).After overexpression of KLF14,the proliferation ability of A549 cells and the number of migration and invasion of these cells decreased significantly(P<0.05);while after knock-down of KLF14,the proliferation ability of HCC827 cells and the number of migration,and invasion of these cells increased significantly(P<0.05).As compared with Vector + KLF14 group,the number of colonies,migration and invasion of A549 cells in JAK1 + KLF14 group increased significantly(P<0.05).As compared with shNC + shKLF14 group,the number of colonies,migration and invasion of HCC827 cells in shJAK1 + shKLF14 group decreased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusions Low expression of KLF14 is associated with poor overall survival in NSCLC patients.Up-regulation of KLF14 significantly inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of lung cancer cells in vitro,and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.
