Background and purpose:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors, and has important roles in cancer pathogenesis and progression. EGFR thus provides a rational target for cancer therapy. We studied siRNA-mediated inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor expression and its biologic effects in different human cancer cell lines (A431, HeLa and SPC-A-1). Methods:Cells were transfected with chemically synthesized siRNA-EGFR. EGFR mRNA was quantified by real-time PCR and was detected by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. The biologic effects on cell growth were assessed by colony-formation assay.Results:siRNA-EGFR significantly decreased mRNA level of EGFR by 73.9 %, 44.6 % and 57.7 %, protein expression of EGFR by 77.0 %, 61.3 % and 65.2 %, and reduced colony number by 27.2 %, 53.9 % and 59.1 % in A431, HeLa and SPC-A-1, respectively.Conclusions:Our data suggested that RNA interference could downregulate EGFR and inhibit colony forming ability and EGFR expression at mRNA/protein levels in human cancer cell lines with different pathological types. siRNA could be one of the promising strategies in future targeted cancer therapy.

Objective To observe and compare the accurate dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the wound healing processes of the rabbit cornea undergoing laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and to investigate the possible mechanisms of corneal haze and myopic regression. Methods New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 8 groups: normal control group (n=6), 1, 7 d, and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month groups (n=14). Every rabbit underwent LASEK in one eye while the other one with PRK. We used Western blot analysis to compare the wound healing process of dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the rabbit cornea at every time point. The results were analyzed with data analysis software. Results Western blot analysis showed that after LASEK, the cornea wound healing with types Ⅰand Ⅲ collagens were much faster than that of PRK, and the wound response was also much weaker. Whereas for types Ⅴ and Ⅵ collagens, their dynamic changes were similar between LASEK and PRK, and they both reached the peak value at 3 month after the surgery, but LASEK group returned to normal earlier than PRK group. The value of these two types of collagens after PRK was higher than that by LASEK. The changes of these four types of collagens may offer us at least partial explanation to the difference of formation of corneal haze and refractive regression. Conclusion There are significant differences between LASEK and PRK in types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens or the time of reacting, reaching apex, and returning to normal. LASEK has slighter intensity of reaction. The results indicate that there is excessive aggradation of collagens after PRK, which may be the histological foundation of obvious haze and myopia regression.
