  • Effect of DDX46 gene on the growth of xenografted tumor of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in nude mice

    Objective To observe the growth of xenografted tumor in nude mice after DDX46 expression decreased, and to further study the role of DDX46 in the development and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods DDX46-shRNA mediated RNAi was applied to silencing DDX46 in Eca-109 cells. Twenty-five female BALB/c nude mice were divided into 3 groups: an experiment group (DDX46-shRNA-LV, n=10), a control group (Control-LV, n=10) and a blank control group (Het-1A, n=5). The prepared Eca-109 cells of DDX46-shRNA-LV and Control-LV were subcutaneously injected into the right armpit of mice (4×106 cells per mouse), while Het-1A cells were subcutaneously injected into the bilateral armpits of mice (4×106 cells per side). Tumor growth was monitored twice a week on the 14th day after injection. Tumor volume was measured with calipers, in vivo imager to observe the fluorescence of each group. Further, western blotting analysis was used to detect the changes of apoptosis signaling molecules in xenografted tumor after DDX46 silence. Results The growth of xenografted tumor in nude mice was significantly slower in the DDX46-shRNA-LV group than that in the Control-LV group throughout the study period (P<0.001). Western blotting analysis showed that silencing DDX46 effectively suppressed the expression of DDX46, and upregulated the expression of cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved PARP-1 in xenografted tumor (P<0.01). Conclusion DDX46 is involved in the development and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and the silence of DDX46 expression can inhibit the growth of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which probably by positive regulation of apoptosis signaling pathway.
