Abstract:Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of 5-FU-induced apoptosis of colon cancer SW480 cells with HSP27 silenced by siRNA interference. Methods: Six groups of cells were used in this part of research, including Normal control group (Normal group), negative siRNA group (NC group), HSP27 siRNA group (siRNA group), 5-FU group, 5-FU with negative siRNA group (NC+5-FU group), 5-FU with HSP27 siRNA group (siRNA+5-FU group). HSP27-siRNA was transfected into SW480 cells by lipofectamine 2000. CCK-8 method was used to detect the siRNA targeted on HSP27 and 5-FU’s inhibition effect on SW480 cell proliferation. Early apoptotic rate was measured with flow cytometry technique, and Western blot analysis was applied to detect the expression of apoptosis-related protein of Active-casepase-3, Active-caspase-9 and Cytc. Results: Result detected by CCK-8 showed that the cell proliferation inhibition rate of siRNA+5-FU group was obviously higher than that of 5-FU group, which indicated that combined use of 5-FU and siRNA could significantly improve the inhibition rate (P<0.05). Result detected with flow cytometry (FCM) showed that both siRNA group and 5-FU group could induce SW480 cell apoptosis, and the combined use of 5-FU and siRNA could greatly improve the early apoptotic rate. Comparing the siRNA and 5-FU group with Normal and NC group, the difference had statistically significant (P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of Active-casepase-3, Active-
caspase-9 and Cytc in combination group were higher than that of siRNA group and 5-FU group, the difference had statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: HSP27-siRNA can significantly inhibit HSP27 expression in SW480 cells, and improve the expression of protein Active-casepase-3, Active-caspase-9 and Cytc, then enhance the apoptosis-inducing effect of 5-FU on SW480 cells, and reverse the drug resistance of SW480 cells to 5-FU.
