[Knockdown of PLK1 mRNA by special siRNA].
To study knockdown effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to PLK1 (Polo-like kinase 1) mRNA in colorectal cancer cell line SW480 and its mitosis and growth was changed. Ten special siRNA molecules were designed targeting different sites of PLK1 mRNA sequence and chemically synthesized. The siRNA molecules were transfected into SW480 by Oligofectamine. The gene mRNA level was assayed by Real-Time PCR. The changes of PLK1 protein, SW480 cell cycle and survival percentage was checked by Western-blot, Flow cytometry and Cell counter assays respectively. All 10 siRNA molecules knocked PLK1 mRNA down in different level. Of them P1, P4 and P9 showed over 80% knockdown efficiency and the others had more than 20% knockdown efficiency to PLK1 mRNA. The best knockdown effect over 95% of all groups was at 25 nmol/L of a mixture with P1, P4 and P9 siRNA equally. In this situation the protein was very less and the cells were blocked at G2 phase of cell cycle. After 72 h cell survival percentages were consistent with PKL1 mRNA level change by siRNA gradient concentration. The results showed that siRNA targeting PLK1 mRNA had effectively knocked PLK1 mRNA down in SW480 cell line. And a blended siRNAs held the best knockdown effect. The cell was blocked on the mitosis and growth.
