Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of ACAT1 on human prostate cancer cells proliferation, invasion and migration. Methods Human prostate cancer cells (PC-3 cells) were cultured, then the expression of ACAT1 gene in PC-3 cells were interfered using Hiperfect transfection reagent, the expression of ACAT1 gene before and after transfection was detected by Real-time PCR. The proliferation rates of PC-3 cells in the blank control group (serum-free 1640 medium added), the negative control group (negative-siRNA-HiperFect complex added) and the ACAT1 group (ACAT1 siRNA-HiperFect complex added) were analyzed by CFSE staining. The changes of cell proliferation before and after ACAT1 gene silencing were compared. Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effect of ACAT1 gene interfering on cells migration and invasion. Results Compared with the blank control group and the negative control group respectively, ACAT1 mRNA expression level reached the lowest level after 48 hours in the ACAT1 siRNA group (P < 0.05). In the ACAT1 siRNA group, compared with the blank control group and the negative control group, proliferation rate of PC-3 cell decreased, the numbers of invasive cell and migration cell reduced, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Compared between the blank control group and the negative control group, the differences in proliferation rate, invasion and migration ability of human prostate cancer PC-3 cells had no statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion ACAT1 siRNA reduces proliferation, migration and invasion of PC-3 cells, which maybe provide a new idea and strategy for pathogenesis and treatment of prostate cancer.
