Objective To evaluate the influence of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2(TFPI-2)gene on the proliferation and invasion of K562.Methods The expression vector pcDNA3.0/TFPI-2 was transfected into human leukemia line K562 cells(K562-T)by using liposome,then the mRNA and protein TFPI-2 were detected by real-time RT-PCR and western blot separately.The growth curve and the colony-forming unit assay were used to measure the ability of cells growth and transwell chamber model was employed to test the ability of cell invasion in vitro.Results Expression of mRNA and protein of TFPI-2 was detected in transfected cells.The growth rate and self-replication ability of K562-T cells were lower than those of the two control groups obviously.The number of K562-T cells to traverse a Matrigel-coated membrane was dramatically decreased compared with that of non-expressing cells.Conclusion The gene of TFPI-2 can inhibit the growth,proliferation and invasion of the K562 cells.
