OBJECTIVE To study the inhibitory effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting c-myc gene in K562 cells. METHODS siRNAs targeting the site 1357 of c-myc mRNA was designed and synthesized. In vitro cultured K562 cells were transfected with lipofectamine 2000 and the inhibitory effect was detected by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR, cell count, MTT assay and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. RESULTS Compared with the negative and blank control group, the transfection group showed marked decrease in the c-myc expression and the K562 cells exhibited increased apoptosis rate. CONCLUSIONS RNA interference can effectively inhibit c-myc expression and induce apoptosis in K562 cells.

D016259 Genes, myc Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (myc) originally isolated from an avian myelocytomatosis virus. The proto-oncogene myc (c-myc) codes for a nuclear protein which is involved in nucleic acid metabolism and in mediating the cellular response to growth factors. Truncation of the first exon, which appears to regulate c-myc expression, is crucial for tumorigenicity. The human c-myc gene is located at 8q24 on the long arm of chromosome 8.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.

D034741 RNA, Small Interfering Small double-stranded, non-protein coding RNAs (21-31 nucleotides) involved in GENE SILENCING functions, especially RNA INTERFERENCE (RNAi). Endogenously, siRNAs are generated from dsRNAs (RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED) by the same ribonuclease, Dicer, that generates miRNAs (MICRORNAS). The perfect match of the siRNAs' antisense strand to their target RNAs mediates RNAi by siRNA-guided RNA cleavage. siRNAs fall into different classes including trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA), repeat-associated RNA (rasiRNA), small-scan RNA (scnRNA), and Piwi protein-interacting RNA (piRNA) and have different specific gene silencing functions.
