          Abstract

          To observe whether cyclin D1 siRNA-mediated inhibition of cyclin D1 represents a promising antigrowth and antimetastatic strategy for cancer gene therapy, particularly for non-small cell lung cancers. To stably transfect the A549 cell line with a cyclin D1-targeted siRNA to downregulate cyclin D1 expression and observe the effects on protein expression, and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Expression of cyclin D1-targeted siRNA resulted in a decrease in cyclin D1, MMP-2, RhoA, and Rac1 protein levels, as detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence studies. Transfected cells also exhibited a marked decrease in the rate of cell growth, and decreased invasive capacity, compared to cells transduced with a scrambled siRNA plasmid and untransduced A549 cells. siRNA-mediated inhibition of cyclin D1 expression represents a promising antigrowth and antimetastatic strategy for cancer gene therapy, particularly for non-small cell lung cancers. It is the reason for inhibiting tumor growth so that cyclin D1 siRNA can inhibit the cell cycle progression. In addition, the mechanism of inhibiting tumor metastasis was related to the decrease in the expression of MMP-2, RhoA, and Rac1 after cyclin D1 was decreased by cyclin D1 siRNA.
