Effect of regulator of ribosome synthesis 1 on proliferation and metastasis abilities of human breast cancer MDA-MB-468 cells
Objective To investigate the effect of regulator of ribosome synthesis 1(RRS1)on the proliferation and me-tastasis abilities of human breast cancer cells.Methods Western Blot was used to measure the protein expression level of RRS1 in human breast cancer cell lines(MDA-MB-231,MDA-MB-468,BT549,and MCF-7)and normal human breast epithelial cells.MDA-MB-468 cells were infected with sh-RRS1 lentivirus(sh-RRS1 group)and negative-control lentivirus(Con group),and MDA-MB-468 cells without infection were established as Blank group.Lentiviral infection efficiency was observed under a fluores-cence microscope for the Con group and the sh-RRS1 group,and quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of RRS1 in cells;CCK-8 assay was used to observe the effect of RRS1 on the viability of MDA-MB-468 cells;scratch assay,Transwell assay,and invasion assay were used to observe the effect of RRS1 on the invasion and migration abilities of MDA-MB-468 cells.Results The expression level of RRS1 in the breast cancer cell lines was signifi-cantly higher than that in normal human breast epithelial cells(F=28.71,P<0.05).Compared with the Blank group and the Con group,the sh-RRS1 group had significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of RRS1(F=118.10,335.40,P<0.05),cell proliferation activity(F=825.60-2839.00,P<0.05),and the invasion and migration abilities of cells(F=25.60-430.80,P<0.05).Conclusion The RRS1 gene might be involved in the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells,which may be associated with the high expression of RRS1 in cells.
