Objective To investigate the effect of the specific siRNA of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) on the migration and invasion of human EJ bladder cancer cells. Methods Two specific siRNA expression vectors and one none homology control vector targeting the objective gene was constructed. Then the vectors were transfected into EJ cells respectively. RNAi efficiency on the expression of ILK was evaluated by RT-PCR
Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. The morphological change
cell adhesion
migration and invasion ability
and the expressions of MMP2 and MMP9 of the transfected cells were detected. Results Enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing verified the constructed vectors were correct. In the 2 specific siRNA treatment groups
the expression of ILK was obviously inhibited
the cells spread well
the nuclear mass ratio was lower than control
the cell adhesion ability was increased
the cell migration and metastasis ability were decreased
and the expression of MMP2 and MMP9 obviously decreased. Conclusion The specific siRNA vectors of ILK are successfully constructed. The vectors inhibit ILK expression
and decrease cell migration and metastasis ability significantly in human EJ bladder cancer cells.
