Objective:To research the effects of silencing tripartite motif containing 25(TRIM25) gene on cisplatin resistance and apop-tosis in cisplatin resistant lung cancer cell lines A549/DDP. Methods:Four types of short hairpin RNA were designed and prepared. The recombinant plasmids(pt1,pt2,pt3,pt4) were constructed respectively,which were transfected into A549/DDP cells using lipofectamine. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the inhibitory effects. The resistance of cisplatin to A549/DDP cells was detected by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was tested by flow eytometry(FCM). Results:The recombinant plasmid pt1 can inhibit mRNA and protein expression of TRIM25 specifically. MTT data showed that the cisplatin IC50 was decreased significantly in pt1 group than in pNC group(P=0.000) and control group(P=0.000) after the TRIM25 gene inhibition. According to the results of FCM,apoptotic cells was significantly decreased in pt1 group than in pNC group(P=0.005) and control group(P=0.004). Conclusion:TRIM25 gene silencing in A549/DDP cells can effectively reduce cisplatin resistance and promote cells apoptosis.
