Background: Non-coding RNAs are increasingly investigated and have great potential for diagnose, prognosis and treatment of cancer. Thus, we investigated the possible relation between NF-κB suppressor-NKILA and HSP90, NF-κB and β-catenin molecules in the MCF-7. HSP90 is a compelling stress protein and together with β-catenin and NF-κB molecules it can be responsible for the cancer cell development. However, NKILA is a novel molecule and there is not comprehensive data about it unlike HSP90, β-catenin and NF-κB alone. Therefore, we suggest that there might be a correlation between NKILA and these proteins. Methods and Results: To investigate the NKILA role on these proteins we inhibited the NKILA by using transfection. MCF-7 cells transfected with NKILA-siRNA and incubated for 5 hours. Then, cells were collected and proteins were extracted to be separated in SDS-PAGE. Aforementioned proteins of siRNA transfected group were evaluated by comparing their band intensities with the control group protein bands by immunoblotting. According to this, HSP90 and NF-κB/p105, NF-κB/p65 and NF-κB/p50 subunits significantly increased while β-catenin significantly decreased after NKILA inhibition.Conclusion:, For the first time we demonstrate that HSP90 and beta-catenin is associated with NKILA levels and this may highly related with canonical NF-κB pathway in MCF-7 cells. These novel findings may have important implications in cancer cells development and might present important hints for the future studies about the cancer cell targeted therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
