  1. Gene silencing of BAG-1 modulates apoptotic genes and sensitizes lung cancer cell lines to cisplatin-induced apoptosis 刘红雨 陈 军 天津市肺癌研究所 天津医科大学总医院

  2. BACKGROUND: • BAG-1 is a multifunctional protein that interacts with a wide range of target molecules to regulate apoptosis, proliferation, transcription, metastasis and mobility (Tang et al., 2002). • BAG-1 is widely over-expressed in various human malignancies and its expression may have clinical utility as a prognostic marker in early breast cancer (Tang et al., 2004) and lung cancer (Liu et al., Chin J Lung Cancer, 2009).

  4. DESIGN: • First use BAG-1 siRNA to knockdown the expression of BAG-1 in lung cancer cell lines A549 and L9981 to characterize its function. • To analyze the change of gene expression profile in A549-BAG-1 silencing cells by Microarray. Furthermore, using Real-time PCR and western blot to confirm the change. • To transfect the changed gene into A549 and L9981 cells with BAG-1 silencing to reverse its function.

  11. Gene expression chip assay • Microarray assay: the expression of 589 genes was altered, including 177 upregulated (145/177) and 412 downregulated genes (256/412). • Real-time PCR assay of the changes in gene expression indicated a concordance of 86.48% (64/74) with that observed by microarray. • The upregulated genes included EGFR, Jun, HSPA1A and CASP7, while the downregulated genes included Lyn, HRAS, and TGF-α. • Furthermore, by Western blot, the expression of EGFR, Jun, and HSPA1A were significantly increased, while expression of Lyn and HRAS were dramatically decreased after BAG-1 gene silencing.

  14. Summary • After transfection with BAG-1 siRNA, lung cancer cell lines A549 and L9981 exhibited significantly enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. • Thus, silencing of the BAG-1 gene resulted in changes in expression of apoptosis-related genes and sensitized A549 and L9981 cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis.
