Abstract: Objective

To investigate the inhibitory effect of mini-chromosome maintenance protein 10(MCM10) silencing on the proliferation of breast cancer cells,and to elucidate its mechanism.

Methods

The human triple negative breast cancer (TMBC)MDA-MB-231 cells were divided into control group,MCM10 interference group 1 (shMCM10-1 group)and MCM10 interference group 2(shMCM10-2 group). The lentivirus interference vectors of MCM10-1 group and MCM10-2 were constructed and infected into the MDA-MB231 cells in shMCM10-1 group and shMCM10-2 group,respectively. The MDA-MB-231 cells in control group were infected with the negative control virus. The expression levels of MCM10 in the MDA-MB-231 cells in various groups were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blotting methods; the proliferation of the MDA-MB-231 cells in various groups was monitored by Cellomics Count assay;the apoptotic rates of the MDA-MB-231 cells in various groups were detected by Flow cytometry, and the activities of Caspase3/7 in the MDA-MB-231 cells in various groups were measured by Caspase 3/7 activity detection kit.

Results

The expression levels of MCM10 mRNA in the MDA-MB-231 cells in shMCM10-1 group and shMCM10-2 group were significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.01), and the expression of MCM10 protein was not found.Compared with control group, the relative proliferation multiples of the MDA-MB-231 cells in shMCM10-1 group and shMCM10-2 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01),and the apoptotic rates of the MDA-MB-231 cells in shMCM10-1 group and shMCM10-2 group were significantly increased (P<0.01),and the activities of Caspase 3/7 in the MDA-MB-231 cells in shMCM10-1 group and shMCM10-2 group were significantly increased (P<0.01).

Conclusion

MCM10 gene silencing can inhibit the proliferation of the MDA-MB-231 cells, and promote the apoptosis of the MDA-MB-231 cells and increase the activities of Caspase3/7 in the MDA-MB-231 cells.
