Objective: To detect the expression of Gli in lung squamous carcinoma, and to analyze the effects of down-regulation of Gli expression on malignant biological behavior of lung squamous carcinoma SK-MES-1 cells and to explore their molecular mechanisms. Methods: Gli1, Gli2 siRNA and control siRNA were transfected into SK-MES-1 cells for 48 h respectively. The Gli-1, Gli-2 mRNA expression were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR method. The protein expression of Gli-1, Gli-2, Cyclin D1, CyclinE, N-cadherin and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot assay. The cell cycle were observed by flow cytometry. Transwell assay was performed to detect cell invasion ability. Results: Compared with Control siRNA, Gli1 & Gli2 siRNA could significantly inhibit the Gli-1, Gli-2 mRNA and protein expression in SK-MES-1 cells, which at last downregulated the CyclinD1, CyclinE, N-cadherin protein expression, and enhanced E-cadherin expression. Downregulation of Gli-1, Gli-2 could arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and decrease cell invasion ability(P<0.01). Conclusion: Gli may play an important role in the development of lung squamous carcinoma. The downregulation of Gli expression can lead to changes in the cell cycle and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma, which may be associated with Cyclin D1, Cyclin E, N-cadherin and E-cadherin proteins. |
