ABSTRACT

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most prevalent types of malignancy-associated mortality of the world. Recently, the studies about over-expression circadian locomotor output cycles kaput gene will promote CRC progression and inhibit tumor cell apoptosis in vitro through the AKT-pathway (an antiapoptotic pathway have been reported). However, it remains to be studied the molecular mechanism of proliferation in CRC. In our present study, we attempt to study the clock gene which inhibits proliferation of CRC CT26 cells through p53-dependent pathway when the clock gene is suppressed in the CRC cell line CT26. Lentiviral vector binds to RNA target sequence, knocking down clock genes in CT26 cells with short hairpin RNA. For detecting their proliferation rates, we used CCK8 assay, plate clone formation assay, Western blot and mouse tumorigenicity assay. The results revealed that knocking down the clock gene has a negative effect on CT26 cell proliferation, depicted that low expression of clock gene reduced cylinD1 and c-myc expression, improved P21 and P53 expression in vitro and inhibited the growth of tumor in vivo. In conclusion, while silencing the clock gene can depress CT26 cell growth through p53-dependent pathway and c-myc.
