Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To research the effects of trichloroethylene on the RNA expressions of SET-associated proteins including eEF1A1,eEF1A2 and DDB1 in L-02 cells. METHODS:L-02 cells,being in the logarithmic growth phase,were treated with different concentrations (1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0 mmol/L) of trichloroethylene for 24 h, and DMSO were used as control. The mRNA levels of eEF1A1, eEF1A2 and DDB1 were analyzed with qPCR. RESULTS:The results showed that mRNA levels of DDB1 and eEF1A2 were significantly up-regulated under low concentration of trichloroethylene (1.0 mmol/L) and were significantly down-regulated with increasing concentrations of trichloroethylene. The mRNA levels of eEF1A1 were significantly up-regulated with increasing of trichloroethylene concentration. CONCLUSION:Exposure of trichloroethylene could alter mRNA expression of SET-associated proteins in L-02 cells.
