Objective:
To study the effect of expressed aplasia ras homolog member I (ARHI) on the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer including the proliferation, migration and invasion of the cell.
Methods:
The eukaryotic expression plasmid of ARHI was constructed and transfected into MKN-28 cell with lipofectamine 2000 as pEGFP-ARHI group, transfected with pEGFP-N1 as pEGFP-N1 group, and untreated MKN-28 as control group. The expression of ARHI was detected by Western blotting and fluorescence microscope. CCK-8 assay was used to analyze the cell proliferation, the wound-healing assay and transwell assay were performed to investigate the effects on migration and invasion.
Results:
Compared with the pEGFP-N1 group and control group, proliferation, invasion and migration of the pEGFP-ARHI group were depressed (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Recombination eukaryotic expression pEGFP-ARHI could partially reverse the malignant phenotypes of gastric cancer cell MKN-28.
