title: [Effect of DJ-1 siRNA on biological behavior of human lung squamous carcinoma SK-MES-1 cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  RNA interference technology (siRNA) was used to inhibit the expression of DJ-1 gene in lung squamous cell carcinoma SK-MES-1 cells, and the cell biological behaviors were investigated to explore the function of DJ-1 gene.
  
  
  METHODS
  A targeted DJ-1 siRNA lentiviral vector with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter was constructed. The constructed DJ-1 siRNA and control-siRNA vectors were infected into SK-MES-1 cells as experimental (DJ-1 siRNA) and control (Control siRNA) groups, respectively. The DJ-1 protein expression was determined by Western blot. The cell proliferation capability was measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The capability of cell migration was determined by Transwell method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with control-siRNA and blank-control groups, the protein expression of DJ-1 gene was down-regulated, the capability of cell proliferation was obviously inhibited (P<0.01), the cell cycle was arrested with increased number of G1- and G2-phase cells and reduced number of S-phase cells, and the capability of cell migration was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the DJ-1 siRNA-infected cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  DJ-1 gene might play a role in promoting cell proliferation and cell migration capability in vitro in lung cancer SK-MES-1 cells.
