Abstract:

Objective To  investigate  the  pro-apoptosis,  anti-migration  and anti-proliferation of Saos-2 cells in osteosarcoma through genetic inhibition of expression of TAp73 protein. Methods Human osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2 was cultured.A short hairpin RNA targeting TAp73 was constructed and transfected into Saos-2 cell line.The expression of TAp73 protein were examined by Western blot method.The proliferation was assayed by CCK-8.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle.Transwell test was used to detect the invasion ability of Saos-2. Results Western blot revealed notably down-regulated expression at protein levels of Tap 73.The cellular proliferation in the treatment group detected by CCK-8 was active after siRNAtreatment(P<0.05).The proportion of the cells in the S phase increased.The invasion ability increased from( 84.17±1.35) to (92.67±2.80 )(P<0.01). Conclusions TAp73 is necessary for human osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion.It is probably a potential target for osteosareoma treatment.
