Objective To silence the expression of α-synuclein in MN9D dopaminergic cells using vector mediated RNA interference （RNAi） and examined its effects on cell proliferation and viability. Methods We identified two 19-nucleotide stretches within the coding region of the α-synuclein gene and designed three sets of oligonucleotides to generate doublestranded （ds） oligos. The ds oligos were inserted into the pENTR^TM/Hl/TO vector and transfected into MN9D dopaminergic cells, α-Synuclein expression was detected by RT-PCR, real-time PCR, immunocytochemistry staining and Western blot. In addition, we measured cell proliferation using growth curves and cell viability by 3-（4, 5）-dimethylthiahiazo （-z-y 1）-3, 5-diphenytetrazoliumromide （M＇FF）. Results The mRNA and protein levels of α-synuclein gene were significantly down-regulated in pSH2/α-SYN-transfected cells compared with control MN9D and pSH/CON-transfected MN9D cells, while pSHI/α-SYN- transfected cells showed no significant difference. Silencing α-synuclein expression does not affect cell proliferation but may decrease cell viability. Conclusion Our results demonstrated pSH2/α-SYN is an effective small interfering RNA （siRNA） sequence and potent silencing of mouse α-synuclein expression in MN9D cells by vector-based RNAi, which provides the tools for studying the normal function of α-synuclein and examining its role in Parkinson＇s disease （PD） pathogenesis. α-Synuclein may be important for the viability of MN9D cells, and loss of α-synuclein may induce cell injury directly or indirectl

目的探讨α-突触核蛋白(α-synuc le in)在鱼藤酮处理的人类多巴胺能SH-SY5Y细胞内的作用。方法用脂质体转染的方法将-αsynuc le in基因转染入SH-SY5Y细胞内,并筛选稳定表达-αsynuc le in的细胞。经过不同浓度的鱼藤酮处理后,测定细胞活力、细胞内氧化应激和抗氧化能力。结果经鱼藤酮处理后,所有的细胞均表现为细胞活力下降和细胞内氧化应激增强。与正常SH-SY5Y细胞相比,过表达-αsynuc le in的细胞表现为较高的细胞活力和抗氧化能力(P<0.01)。结论α-synuc le in过表达可能通过增强SH-SY5Y细胞活力和抗氧化能力,来部分对抗鱼藤酮的毒性作用。
