The Expression and Regulation of the Nuclear Receptor-Binding SET Domain Protein 2 in Parotid Carcinoma
摘要
To investigate the relationship between NSD2 expression in parotid carcinoma tissues and patients’ clinical characteristics, and to explore the effects of siRNA-mediated NSD2 gene knockdown on the proliferation, apoptosis, and invasive capabilities of parotid carcinoma SACC-2 cells.
Materials and MethodsThis study included specimens from a total of 59 patients with parotid carcinoma. SACC-2 cells were transfected with NSD2 siRNA. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect expression of NSD2 mRNA and western blot was used to detect the expression of NSD2 protein. CCK-8 and colony formation test were used to detect cell proliferation. Annexin V PI double staining flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis, cell scratch and transwell test were used to detect cell invasion.
ResultsThe apoptosis rates of siNSD2-1 and siNSD2-2 groups were significantly higher. The wounds of siNSD2-1 and siNSD2-2 group were more significant than that of control, and relative migration distances were reduced significantly than that of control (P < 0.05). The cells which penetrated cell membrane of siNSD2-1 and siNSD2-2 were significantly less than those of control (P < 0.05).
ConclusionsSilencing NSD2 gene can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of parotid carcinoma SACC-2 cells and induce apoptosis.
