  • Effect of knocking down Piezo1 mechanically sensitive protein on migration of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells

    ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of Piezo1 mechanically sensitive protein in migration process of mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells.MethodsThe 5th-10th generation mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were divided into Piezo1-small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection group (group A), negative control group (group B), and blank control group (group C). Piezo1-siRNA or negative control siRNA was transfected into mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts by siRNA transfection reagent, respectively; group C was only added with siRNA transfection reagent; and the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope and fluorescence microscope, and the transfection efficiency was calculated. The expression of Piezo1 protein was detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Transwell cell migration assay and cell scratch assay were used to detect the migration of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts after Piezo1-siRNA transfection.ResultsAfter 48 hours of transfection, group A showed a slight increase in cell volume and mutant growth, but cell colonies decreased, suspension cells increased and cell fragments increased when compared with untransfected cells. Under fluorescence microscope, green fluorescence was observed in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts of group B, and the transfection efficiency was 68.56%±4.12%. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot results showed that the expression level of Piezo1 protein in group A was significantly lower than that in groups B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05). Transwell cell migration assay and cell scratch assay showed that the number of cells per hole and the scratch healing rate of cells cultured for 1-4 days in group A were significantly lower than those in groups B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05).ConclusionPiezo1 knocked down by siRNA can inhibit the migration ability of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells.
