Background/Aim:
Non-structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) is implicated in correct chromosome condensation and segregation during mitosis. However, the functional role of NCAPH in the pathogenesis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of NCAPH in NSCLC cells.
Materials And Methods:
A549 and H1299 NSCLC cells were transfected with small-interfering RNA (siRNA) against NCAPH. Subsequently, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, colony-formation assay and flow cytometry analysis were performed to reveal the role of NCAPH in NSCLC cells. In addition, migration and invasion assay were also performed.
Results:
NCAPH knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell-cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and prevented colony formation, migration and invasion by NSCLC cells.
Conclusion:
NCAPH is involved in NSCLC progression and development, and may be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.
