Objective To construct a lentiviral vector (Lenti-GPER-shRNA) targeting G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) and explore the role of GPER in the effect of tamoxifen on cell proliferation and apoptosis in breast cancer associated fibroblasts (BCAFs). Methods The target sequence of GPER gene and negative control were cloned into lentiviral vectors. The recombinant lentivirus and control were extracted after HEK293T cells were transfected with the recombinant vector and helper vectors. After infection of BCAFs with the GPER lentiviral vector under the best interfering condition, GPER expression was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting. BCAFs were divided into negative control group, GPER-RNAi group, negative control combined with tamoxifen (10(-8) mmol/L) group and GPER-RNAi combined with tamoxifen (10(-8) mmol/L) group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation and annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (annexin V-FITC/PI) combined with flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of BCAFs after the treatment of tamoxifen. Results Lenti-GPER-shRNA significantly interfered the expression of GPER in BCAFs. Tamoxifen promoted the growth of BCAFs, which could be attenuated by knockdown of GPER. Moreover, the apoptosis of BCAFs was reduced by tamoxifen, which was also reversed by knockdown of GPER. Conclusion Lenti-GPER-shRNA could effectively silence the GPER expression in BCAFs. The ability of tamoxifen to accelerate cell proliferation and decrease cell apoptosis could be weakened by knockdown of GPER. |
