The present study aimed to investigate the effects of chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) gene RNA interference on the biological behaviors and enhanced chemosensitivity of endometrial cancer (EC) HEC-1A cells. YKL-40 small interfering (si)RNA was transduced into EC HEC-1A cells using a lentivirus. The experiment was divided into three groups: The experimental group was transfected with YKL-40 siRNA (si-YKL-40); the mock-treatment group was transfected with transfection reagent only; and the blank control group was left untreated.
