Inhibition of Cell Proliferation by Small Interference RNA Against LRP16 Gene in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells

Estradiol(β E2) up regulate LRP16 gene expression in human breast cancer MCF 7 cells,and ectopic expression of the LRP16 gene promote MCF 7 cells proliferation.The effects of LRP16 gene expression on growth and response to 17β E2 of MCF 7 human breast cancer cells and the mechanism were further studied by establishing two stably LRP16 inhibitory MCF 7 cell lines.Hairpin small interference RNA(siRNA) strategy,by which hairpin siRNA was released by U6 promoter and was mediated by pLPC based retroviral vector,was adopted to knockdown endogenous LRP16 level in MCF 7 cells.And the hairpin siRNA against green fluorescence protein(GFP) was used as the negative control.Ninety and sixty perecnt suppressant efficiency of the LRP16 gene expression were confirmed by Nothern blot.The results from cell proliferation assays suggested that down regulation of LRP16 gene expression is capable of inhibiting MCF 7 breast cancer cell growth and down regulation of the LRP16 gene expression is able to inhibit anchorage independent growth of breast cancer cells in soft agar.Cell cycle analysis showed that suppression of the LRP16 gene expression in MCF 7 cells effectively arrested the G 1/S transition.Western blot analysis demonstrated that cyclin E and cyclin D1 protein were much lower in the LRP16 inhibitory cells than in the control cells,while the expression levels of P53 and Rb protein were not different between these two groups.Nevertheless,MCF 7 cells with the LRP16 gene deficiency maintained the proliferation response to β E2.These data suggest that LRP16 gene play an important role in MCF 7 cells proliferation by regulating the pathway of the G 1/S transition and it may function as an important modulator in regulating the process of tumorigenesis in human breast.
