[Effects of receptor interacting protein 140 on the biological activity of glia cells].

To explore the effects of receptor interacting protein (RIP) 140 gene overexpression upon the in vitro proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of microglioma cells. The BV-2 RIP140 overexpression model (BV-2-1) was constructed by Lipofection and G418 selection, then validated by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration potencies were compared between BV-2-1 and its parents by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, flow cytometry and Transwell chamber. The BV-2-1 model was successfully constructed. Compared to those of the BV-2 group, the RIP140 mRNA and protein expression levels of BV-2-1 were markedly higher than those of the BV-2 group (t = 49.794, P < 0.01). MTT assay showed that the absorbance values in the BV-2 group were 1.157 ± 0.013, 1.679 ± 0.005 and 2.609 ± 0.008 at 24, 48, and 72 hours respectively. And those were 0.929 ± 0.013, 1.188 ± 0.008 and 1.528 ± 0.012 in the BV-2-1 group respectively. The proliferation at the time points of 48 and 72 hours of the BV-2-1 group were significantly lower than that of the BV-2 group (t = 6.058 and 9.245, both P < 0.01). Annexin-V staining showed that there were significant differences in the apoptosis rates between the BV-2 and BV-2-1 cells [(5.35 ± 0.23)% vs (3.46 ± 0.45)%, t = 6.619, P = 0.003)]. Transwell assay showed that the invaded cell number of the BV-2-1 group was 166 ± 43. And it was obviously higher than that of the BV-2 group (93 ± 32, t = 3.403, P = 0.007). Transwell assay also showed that the migrated cell number of BV-2 cells was 101 ± 25. And the migration potency of the BV-2-1 group (202 ± 50) was significantly stronger than that of the BV-2 group (t = 4.104, P = 0.002). RIP140 effectively inhibits the proliferation and facilitates the apoptosis of microglioma cells. And it may effectively facilitate the in vitro invasion and migration of microglioma cells.
