The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) gene knockdown, using short-hairpin RNA (shRNA), on the malignant behaviors of prostate cancer cells. A pSuper.puro NHERF1 shRNA vector was transfected into PC-3M prostate cancer cells using Lipofectamine 2000. Stable cell lines were obtained and NHERF1 knockdown was verified through western blot analysis. MTT assays were then used to measure PC-3M cell proliferation; in addition, cell migration was assessed using a wound healing assay. Flow cytometry was employed in order to determine the effects of NHERF1 knockdown on apoptosis. Expression levels of apoptotic pathway proteins B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein were then determined by western blot analysis. The results demonstrated that shRNA knockdown of NHERF1 significantly suppressed the proliferation of PC-3M cells by >50%. In addition, knockdown of NHERF1 significantly inhibited the migration of PC-3M cells. PC-3M cells harboring NHERF1 shRNA exhibited significantly increased apoptosis, with an ~4-fold increase compared with that of the parental PC-3M cells and cells transfected with an empty vector. Furthermore, the results revealed that knockdown of NHERF1 reduced the protein expression of Bcl-2, although the expression of Bax was unaltered. In conclusion, NHERF1 knockdown using shRNA inhibited the proliferation and migration of PC-3M cells and promoted apoptosis, highlighting the role of NHERF1 in prostate cancer progression.

肺癌被认为是全球发病率最高的一种恶性肿瘤，其对化疗药物不敏感且易产生耐药性，因此增强肺癌药物治疗效果是近年来研究的热点。siRNA是一种小RNA分子，可以沉默与之互补的目标mRNA，是一种基因治疗手段。靶向肽是一类小分子多肽，它可以与siRNA联合使用，利用其与肿瘤表面物质特异性结合发挥靶向作用。联合靶向肽的特异性和siRNA的治疗作用，增加siRNA在靶点位置的聚集，增强沉默效果，可以提高肺癌对药物的敏感性并降低耐药作用，进而增强肺癌治疗效果，为肺癌的靶向治疗提供新的方向和策略。本文将对靶向肽在递送siRNA进行肺癌治疗研究中的应用作一简要综述。

肺癌是一种死亡率极高的恶性肿瘤，针对肺癌的早期诊断和治疗有着重要的意义和价值，本研究旨在探讨羰基锝法标记的肿瘤抑素T7肽用作裸鼠肺癌早期显像剂的初步研究。 采用羰基锝法标记T7肽，薄层色谱法检测99mTc-T7的放化纯度与稳定性，丙酮作展开系统。测定99mTc-T7与NCI-H157细胞的亲和力。研究99mTc-T7于0.5 h、1 h、2 h、4 h、8 h在荷人非小细胞肺腺癌裸鼠体内的生物分布特性，并计算肿瘤（T）与非肿瘤组织（NT）放射性比值。 99mTc对T7肽标记率高，放化纯度达90%以上，不需进一步纯化，体外稳定性好。99mTc-T7与NCI-H157细胞的平衡解离常数为196.1 nM。99mTc-T7在裸鼠体内主要通过内脏器官代谢，血液清除较快，在肿瘤部位有一定程度聚集，肿瘤/肌肉比值随时间延长而增加，可达到5以上，在4 h-8 h之间取值较为理想。99mTc-T7在肺内存在一过性聚集。 99mTc-T7制备方法简便，标记率高，稳定性好，并能在肺癌肿瘤部位聚集，有望用作肺癌SPECT/CT显像剂。
