摘要To study the influence of siRNA targeting survivin gene on the biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one pair of 21bp reverse repeated motifs of survivin target sequence with 9 spacers were synthesized and inserted into plasmid psilencer2. 1 to generate siRNA eukaryotic expression vector. After stable transfection into HepG2 cells, the biological behaviors of the survivin siRNA transfected HCC cells were observed. After the recombinant plasmid Psilence (+)-survivin was successfully constructed, survivin mRNA and protein expression inhibition ratio reached 73 % and 75 % respectively compared to control groups. Transfected cells with survivin siRNA demonstrated significantly inhibited cell growth and increased apoptosis. Subsequent study in nude mouse model demonstrated lower succeeding rate in cells transfected with survivin siRNA and slow growth rate. The results elucidated the siRNA targeting survivin gene could specially suppress its expression in HepG2 cells and mhibit tumor cells growth both in vivo and in vitro. This provides a theoretical basis to turn the drug resistance in tumor cells.
