Resumo
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2-3% of human malignancies
and is the most aggressive among urologic tumors. Biological heterogeneity, drug
resistance and chemotherapy side effects are the biggest obstacles to the effective
treatment of RCC. The NF-кB transcription factor is one of several molecules identified
to be responsible for the aggressive phenotype of this tumor. In the past decade, several
studies have demonstrated the activation of NF-kB in RCC, and many implicated NF-
κB1 (p50) as an important molecule in tumor progression and metastasis. In the present
study, a lentivirus was used to deliver shRNA targeting NF-κB1 into mouse renal cell
carcinoma (Renca) cells. It was determined that the knockdown of the NF-κB1 gene led
to a reduction in cell proliferation and late apoptosis/necrosis in vitro. Flow cytometry
analysis demonstrated G2/M arrest in the cells. In addition, immunoblotting analysis
revealed a significant increase in cyclin B1 and Bax. In vivo experiments showed that
Renca-shRNA-NF-кB1 cells have significantly diminished tumorigenicity. Moreover,
immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increase in necrotic areas of Renca-shRNANF-
кB1 tumors. Thus, this study indicates that downregulation of NF-кB1 can suppress
RCC tumorigenesis by inducing late apoptosis/necrosis. Therefore, NF-кB1 may be a
potential therapeutic target for RCC.
