Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effects of small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting of Cdx2 on human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The recombinant pSilencer 4.1-Cdx2 siRNA plasmids were constructed and transfected into gastric cancer MGC-803 cells in vitro. The stable transfectants were selected. The effects of Cdx2 siRNA on growth, proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, migration and invasiveness of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells were evaluated and the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), caspase-9 and caspase-3 was observed in vitro by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting analysis. We also investigated the effect of Cdx2 siRNA on growth of MGC-803 cells in nude mice in vivo. RESULTS: Cdx2 siRNA led to inhibition of endogenous Cdx2 mRNA and protein expression as determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. Cdx2 siRNA significantly inhibited cell growth and proliferation, blocked entry into the S-phase of the cell cycle, induced cell apoptosis, and reduced the motility and invasion of MGC-803 cells. Cdx2 siRNA also increased PTEN expression, and activated caspase-9 and caspase-3 in MGC-803 cells in vitro . In addition, siRNA targeting of Cdx2 inhibited the growth of MGC-803 cells and promoted tumor cell apoptosis in vivo in nude mice tumor models. CONCLUSION: Cdx2 was involved in regulating pro-gression of human gastric cancer cells MGC-803. Manipulation of Cdx2 expression may be a potential therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer.
