Objective To explore the influence mechanism of proliferation and invasion in colon cancer cell after silence of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene. Methods RT-PCR or Western blot method was used to detect the expression of PTEN mRNA or protein among four colon cancer cell lines (HT-29, WiDr, CaCo-2, and Colo320 cell lines). small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to synthetize PTEN siRNA and transfect it into colon cancer cells. The expression of PTEN protein after transfecting was detected by Western blot. WsT-1 and invasion assay were used to examine the effects of PTEN siRNA silence on proliferation and invasion in colon cancer cells. Results PTEN mRNA and protein were expressed in all the four colon cancer cell lines. After PTEN siRNA transfected into the colon cancer cells, the expressions of PTEN proteins were inhibited in all the four colon cancer cell lines (P < 0.01), and the proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cells were enhanced significantly (P < 0.01). Conclusions PTEN siRNA play an important role in metastasis process of colon cancer via enhanced its proliferation and invasion. Therefore, the understanding biologic mechanisms for regulation of PTEN might enable better molecular target therapy of treating the colon cancer patients with metastasis.
