Abstract

Current experiment aimed to investigate the construction of the SIRT1 gene shRNA lentivirus vector and its effect on proliferation of breast cancer cells. Altogether 80 cases of breast cancer tissues and 80 cases of normal adjacent tissues were collected. qPCR was used for detecting SIRT1 expression. Western blot was used to detect the expression of EMT marker protein. The effect of lentivirus infected sh-SIRT1 on the cell biological function of SK-BR-3 and MDA-MB-231 cells was detected. MTT assay was used to detect cell activity, Transwell cell was used to detect cell invasion and migration, and cell apoptosis detected by flow cytometry. Compared with normal tissues adjacent to cancer, the expression of SIRT1 in cancer tissues increased significantly. Compared with human breast epithelial cells (MCF 10A), SIRT1 expression in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3) increased significantly. The above results showed that SIRT1 was significant greatly expressed in breast cancer. Compared with the sh-Control group, the cell activity, invasion and migration of the sh-SIRT1 group were enhanced, while cell apoptosis was weakened. In the sh-SIRT1 group infected by lentivirus, cell activity, cell invasion and migration decreased, whil...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Breast Invasive Carcinoma (Keystone)

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
