Abstract

Objective To discuss the effect of gene silencing of targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin like protein 2 (TPX2) on the chemosensitivity of the resistant bladder cancer cell line T24/cisplatin(DDP), and to clarify the mechanism. Methods The DDP-resistant cell line T24/DDP was established by DDP concentration gradient induction method, and the cells were divided into T24 cell group and T24/DDP cell group. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation activities of the cells in various groups; the resistance index (RI) was calculated based on the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of TPX2 mRNA and protein in the cells in various groups; small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to silence the TPX2 gene expression in the T24/DDP cells.The cells were divided into blank control group, negative control siRNA (si-NC) group, TPX2 silenced (si-TPX2) group, si-NC+DDP (2 mg·L-1 DDP) group,and si-TPX2+DDP (2 mg·L-1 DDP) group. RT-qPCR and Western blotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of TPX2 mRNA and protein in the cells in various groups; MTT method was used to detect the proliferation activity of the cells in various groups; flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rates of the cells and percentages of the cells at G2/M phase in various groups; Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the numbers of migration and invasion cells; Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins such as β-catenin, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), zinc finger protein transcription factor 1 (Snail1), and Survivin proteins in the cells in various groups. Results The resistant bladder cancer cell line T24/DDP was successfully established with the RI value of 8.76. Compared with T24 cell group, the expression levels of TPX2 mRNA and protein in the T24/DDP cells were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with blank control group and si-NC group, the expression levels of TPX2 mRNA and protein in the T24/DDP cells in si-TPX2 group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the IC50 value of DDP was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with si-NC group, the apoptotic rate of the cells and the percentage of the cells at G2/M phase in si-TPX2 group was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the numbers of migration and invasion cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the expression levels of β-catenin, P-gp, Snail1, and Survivin proteins in the T254/DDP cells were also significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with si-NC+DDP group, the apoptotic rate of the cells and percentage of the cells at G2/M phase in si-TPX2+DDP group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the numbers of migration and invasion cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the expression levels of β-catenin, P-gp, Snail1, and Survivin proteins in the T24/DDP cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion Gene silencing of TPX2 enhances the chemosensitivity of the resistant bladder cancer cell line T24/DDP to DDP by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
