Abstract:

Objective   To observe the effect of the RNA interference (RNAi) targeting survivin on human malignant melanoma cell line A375. Methods   The human malignant melanoma cell line A375 was divided into there groups: the survivin-siRNA LV group, the NC-GFP-LV group and the control group. After designing and constructing the survivin-siRNA lentivirus vector, transfect it into these there groups of cells. The expression of survivin mRNA and protein were detected by real time-PCR and Western blot respectively. Results   The survivin-siRNA lentivirus vector was designed and constructed successfully. After the transfection, the expressions of survivin mRNA and protein were significantly lower in the survivin-siRNA LV group than those in the control group(P<0.05), with the inhibition ratio of 60% and 87.38%. Conclusion   The shRNA targeting survivin can down-regulate the expression of survivin gene in melanoma A375 cells.
