Abstract Objective To investigate the biological behavior of cell division cycle associated protein 3 (CDCA3) in liver cancer. Methods Tissue specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to June 2019 were collected. There were 30 liver cancer specimens and paracancer specimens. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of CDCA3 in different tissues. CDCA3 interfering RNA sequences and control sequences were transfected into hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines by lip3000 transfection. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 and EdU immunofluorescence staining, and cell cycle was detected by elapse cytology. Results The expression level of CDCA3 in liver cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, and the difference was highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). The expression levels of CDCA3 in HepG2, Huh7 and SMMC-7721 cells were significantly higher than those in LO2 cells, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), while the expression level of CDCA3 in BEL-7402 cells was not statistically significant compared with that in LO2 cells (P > 0.05). The expression of CDCA3 in SMMC-7721 cells down-regulated by SiCDCA3#1 and siCDCA3#2 was statistically significant compared with that in the control group (siNC) (P < 0.05). Therefore, SMMC-7721 cells were selected to complete the follow-up study. After the expression levels of CDCA3 in SMMC-7721 cells were down-regulated by siCDCA3#1 and siCDCA3#2, the number of cell proliferation at 24 h and 48 h was significantly lower than that in the siNC, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). And the number of positive cells detected at EdU was significantly lower than that in the siNC. Compared with the siNC, the G1 phase time of SMMC-7721 cell cycle was prolonged after the expression of CDCA3 in SMMC-7721 cell was down-regulated by siCDCA3#2, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion CDCA3 can promote the proliferation of liver cancer cells and is a potential therapeutic target.
