Abstract: Objective To investigate the inhibitive effect of EZH2-specific shRNA on human colon cancer cell line SW480 and the impact of 5-FU on this inhibitive effect. Methods SW480 cells were transfected with EZH2-specific shRNA in vitro, then EZH2 mRNA and protein expressions were detected with RT-PCR and Western blotting, and cell proliferation was examined with MTT. The EZH2-specific shRNA expressing SW480 cells were implanted to nude mice and treated with 5-FU. After that, the levels of EZH2 mRNA expressed by tumor tissues were measured with RT-PCR. Results Compared with that of the negative control group, the EZH2 mRNA expression (P<0.01) and protein expression (P<0.05) of the gene-silencing group markedly decreased. The cell growth of the gene-silencing group was inhibited compared with that of the control group (P<0.05). In nude mice, the tumor volume, tumor weight and EZH2 mRNA expression of the 5-FU gene-silencing group and of the gene-silencing group remarkably decreased compared with those of the normal group (P<0.01). The EZH2 mRNA expression of the 5-FU gene-silencing group significantly decreased compared with that of the gene-silencing group (P<0.05). Conclusion The EZH2-specific shRNAplays a significant inhibitive role on EZH2 mRNA and protein expressions in SW480 cells both in vitro and in vivo. 5-FU can significantly inhibit the EZH2 mRNA expression of EZH2-gene-silencing SW480 cells in vivo.
