Abstract
There is a high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), malignant head and neck tumors, in southern China. Radioresistance is the main cause affecting the efficacy of NPC treatments. The POLG gene particularly plays an important role in radiation-induced damage repair. In this study, the authors established RNAi CNE-1 and CNE-2 knockdown in two NPC cell lines to observe whether this gene affects the radiosensitivity of NPC cells. Four short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression plasmids targeting POLG gene were constructed and transfected into the NPC cell lines CNE-1 and CNE-2. Screening was performed to evaluate the stable expression of cloned cells, which were named CNE-1/POLG-shRNA1, CNE-1/POLG-shRNA2, CNE-2/POLG-shRNA1, and CNE-2/POLG-shRNA2. The negative controls CNE-1/Neg-shRNA and CNE-2/Neg-shRNA were additionally used. The MTT method, flow cytometry, clone formation analysis, cell migration, and other experimental methods were employed to verify changes in the radiosensitivity of the NPC cells. Fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot confirmed the downregulation of the PLOG gene through diminished PLOG messenger RNA and protein levels. Consequently, the authors report the stable knockdown of the POLG gene in an NPC...Continue Reading
