Abstract Objective: To study the effect of RNA interference gene SALL4 on the proliferation and apaptosis of testicular yolk sac tumor cells in children. Methods: The pGPU6/GFP/neo-sall4 shRNA was constructed as a vector to be transfected into pediatric testicular yolk sac tumor cells and interfere in SALL4. The interfering effect was verified by detecting mRNA and protein levels. CCK-8 and flow cytometry were employed to study the inhibition effect of interfering SALL4 in pediatric testicular yolk sac tumor cells. Results: After successfully transfecting the vector into pediatric testicular yolk sac tumor cells, the mRNA expression magnitudes of SALL4 interfered group was 24.0%±4.0%, as compared with Negative group (93.0%±43.0%), with lower levels of mRNA expression (P<0.05). And the protein expressions of SALL4 interfered group (0.39±0.10) had a lower protein expression than Negative group (1.02±0.09). Besides, the proliferation was significantly reduced, while the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in vitro (P<0.05). Conclusion: Targeting SALL4 RNA could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of pediatric testicular yolk sac tumor cells, suggesting that SALL4 may be a potential therapeutic target for pediatric testicular yolk sac tumor.
