ObjectiveTo establish human bladder cancer cell line with silenced Fibulin-5 gene and observe the effects and mechanism of Fibulin-5 gene silencing on the proliferation activity and migration of the bladder cancer cells.MethodsThe human bladder cancer cells 5637 were divided into group F5 and group NC, and the cells in group F5 were infected with Fibulin-5 RNA interference (RNAi) lentivirus while the cells in group NC were infected with negative-control virus. Then the expression of Fibulin-5 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the cell proliferation activity was detected by MTT, the migration rate was detected by wound healing method, and the expression levels of proteins in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway were detected by PathScan RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit.ResultsThe Fibulin-5 mRNA expression decreased significantly by Fibulin-5 RNAi lentivirus (0.067±0.013 in group F5 vs. 1.001±0.000 in group NC), and the gene silencing efficiency reached 93.3%, so the Fibulin-5 silencing cell line was established successfully. Comparing with group NC, the relative absorbance value and migration rate of cell 5637 in group F5 decreased significantly (P<0.01); in addition, the expression levels of anaplastic lymphoma kinase, Axl, p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase, and Src protein were up-regulated in group F5 (P<0.05).ConclusionFibulin-5 may play a role in the proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells, and may have an inhibitory effect on extracellular signal-regulated kinase and its signaling pathway proteins.
