[Effects of expression silencing of MAGE3 by RNA interference on location and metastasis of lung carcinoma cells].

OBJECTIVE: To construct small interfering RNA (siRNA) expression vectors targeting human MAGE3 gene and to observe the effects of gene silencing of MAGE3 by RNA interference on location and metastasis of lung carcinoma cells.

METHODS: MAGE3 mRNA targeted hairpin siRNA was devised and the oligonucleotide strands of DNA fragments encoding the above siRNA were synthesized. After annealing of the complementary strands, the DNA fragments were cloned into pSUPERneoGFP, followed by amplification and DNA sequencing, then transfected into human lung carcinoma NCI-H446. The expression of MAGE3 gene mRNA and protein were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Colony formation assay and Boyden chamber assay were performed to detect the effects of MAGE3 on colony formation and metastasis.

RESULTS: The DNA fragments encoding MAGE3-targeted siRNA were cloned into the pSUPERneoGFP and confirmed by restrictive enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. RT-PCR and Western blotting revealed a strongly decreased expression level of MAGE3. The lung carcinoma cells transfected by siRNA group was significantly lower than others, an effect on its colony formation and invasiveness. The colony formation of lung carcinoma cells transfected by siRNA in soft agar and the number of cells penetrating matrigel both reduced, there is significant difference compared with untransfected group and transfected empty vector.

CONCLUSION: An siRNA vector targeting human MAGE3 gene has been successfully constructed. Expression silencing of MAGE3 by RNA interference could reduce location and metastasis of lung carcinoma cells effectively.
