Inhibitory effect of transfection of human ribonuclease inhibitor on the proliferation in breast cancer cells

Objective:To study the effect of liposome targeting ribonuclease inhibitor(RI) on the proliferation and cell cycle of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.Methods:By the induction of liposome,pLNCX-RI and eukarytic expression vectors pLNCX were transfected into breast cell line MDA-MB-231.Then the subclone cell lines MDA-MB-231-231/pLNCX-RI which high expressed RI stably were obtained by persistent G418 selection.Western-blot and RT-PCR were used to detect RI expression level in transfected cell line;Cell prolifetation was analyzed by MTT assay;Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:The subclone cell line MDA-MB-231-231/pLNCX-RI which high expressed RI stably was successfully selected.MTT showed the cell proliferation was inhibited(P0.01).Cells stopped at G0/G1 phase and cell number in S phase was sharply decreased by the induction of liposome(P0.01).Conclusions:The malignant proliferation of breast cancer cells is inhibited by RI.
