- Abstract
Purpose: HMGI-C (High Mobility Group protein Isoform I-C) protein is a member of the high-mobility group AT-hook (HMGA) family of small non-histone chromosomal protein that can modulate transcription of an ample number of genes. Genome-wide studies revealed up regulation of the HMGI-C gene in many human cancers. We suggested that HMGI-C might play a critical role in the progression and migration of various tumors. However, the exact role of HMGI-C in breast adenocarcinoma has not been cleared. Methods:The cells were transfected with siRNAs using transfection reagent. Relative HMGI-C mRNA and protein levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The cytotoxic effects of HMGI-C siRNA, Paclitaxel alone and combination on breast adenocarcinoma cells were determined using MTT assay. The migration after treatment by HMGI-C siRNA, Paclitaxel alone and combination were detected by wound-healing respectively. Results: HMGI-C siRNA significantly reduced both mRNA and protein expression levels in a 48 hours after transfection and dose dependent manner. We observed that the knockdown of HMGI-C led to the significant reduced cell viability and inhibited cells migration in MDA-MB-468 cells in vitro. Conclusion: These results propose that HMGI-C silencing and Paclitaxel treatment alone can inhibit the proliferation and migration significantly, furthermore, synergic effect of HMGI-C siRNA and Paclitaxel showed higher inhibition compared to mono treatment. Taken together, HMGI-C could be used as a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of human breast adenocarcinoma. Therefore HMGI-C siRNA may be an effective adjuvant in human breast adenocarcinoma.
