Abstract:

Objective   To explore the effects of BNIP3 on autophagy of hepatoma cells by using over-expression vectors and shRNA vectors. Methods   BNIP3 cDNA was extracted from human hepatoma cell line BEL-7402 and was cloned into the pcDNA3.1-His-C vector to construct an over-expression vector(pcDNA3.1-BNIP3). The recombinant shRNA expression vector targeting the BNIP3 gene was also constructed(pSliencer-BNIP3). Both recombinant plasmids were verified by sequencing, enzymatic digestion, RT-PCR and Western blot. The effects of BNIP3 on autophagy of hepatoma cells were investigated by transfecting BEL-7402 hepatoma cells with the recombinant plasimids. Results   Autophagy of hepatoma cells was significantly enhanced with pcDNA3.1-BNIP3 and compromised with pSilencer-BNIP3. Conclusion   BNIP3 was involved in promoting autophagy of hepatoma cells.
