Objective:
The purpose of this study was to establish a stable, high-efficient and low-toxic way of transfecting nm23-H1 into Tca8113 line cells, and then to find out whether nm23-H1 could affect the invasion and metastases ability of Tca8113 line cells.
Methods:
nm23-H1 was transfected into Tca8113 line cells with Lipofect. The different expressions of nm23-H1 between transfected and non-transfected line cells were detected by the method of immunohistochemistry. The difference of the invasion and metastases ability between transfected and non-transfected line cells was detected by transwell-room and wash techniques. The change of chemo-sensitivity was evaluated by MTT.
Results:
Using pCMV-NEO-BAM system to keep stable expression of nm23-H1, the significant difference of NDPKA expression between transfected and non-transfected Tca8113 line cells was discovered; The metastases ability of transfected Tca8113 line cells decreased significantly; The chemo-sensitivity of transfected Tca8113 line cells to CDDP increased significantly.
Conclusion:
nm23-H1 can inhibit the metastases of Tca8113 line cells and increase the chemo-sensitivity to CDDP significantly.
