[Construction of cell line of small hairpin RNA-mediated inhibition of HER2/neu gene expression].

Objective: To establish the stable inhibition of HER2/neu expression by vector-mediated small hairpin RNA in malignant transformed human bronchial epithelial cell line induced by anti-benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7, 8-dihydrodiol-9, 10-epoxide (anti-BPDE).

Methods: The pSIREN-RetroQ-neu recombinant vector targeting HER2/neu was constructed and confirmed by restriction and sequencing analysis, then it was transfected into anti-BPDE malignant transformed 16HBE cells (16HBE-T) through lipofectamine 2000. The control groups included the 16HBE-T cells transfected with negative control vector (negative control) and 16HBE-T.

MicroRNA expression profiles and miR-10a target in anti-benzo[a] pyrene-7, 8-diol-9, 10-epoxide-transformed human 16HBE cells.

Objective: To screen miRNA profiles of malignantly transformed human bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-T, induced by anti-benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (anti-BPDE), and to analyze putative miR-10a targets in 16HBE-T.

Methods: A novel microarray platform was employed to screen miRNA profiles of 16HBE-T cells transformed by anti-BPDE. Microarray data for miR-10a and miR-320 were validated using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR).

[MicroRNA profiles of malignantly transformed cells induced by anti-benzo-a-pyrene-trans-7, 8-dihydrodiol-9, 10-epoxide].

Objective: To screen microRNA (miRNA) profiles of malignantly transformed cells induced by anti-benzo-a-pyrene-trans-7, 8-dihydrodiol-9, 10-epoxide (BPDE) and to look for miRNAs which is expressed differently between malignantly transformed cells and normal human bronchial epithelial cells 16HBE.

Methods: Experimental group was the malignantly transformed 16HBE which was induced by cultured with final concentration 2.0 micromol/L of BPDE which was dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide.
