Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore mechanisms of RBM24 in inhibition of proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. METHODS: Cell models with RBM24 knocked down were built via RBM24 siRNA transfection into immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cells N5, NP69, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE1. After the cell models was built,CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate the effect of transfection on cell proliferation each day from day 1 to 5. Real-time PCR was carried out to evaluate the expression of HOTAIR. RESULTS: Successful modeling of RBM24 knocked down were confirmed by real-time PCR. The knockdown significantly induced proliferation of CNE1 (5.11±0.03) and N5 (2.09±0.18),compared with the control group (4.53±0.05 and 1.73±0.12, respectively). It also upregulated HOTAIR expression in CNE1 (67.54±1.87) and N5 (7.81±1.90), compared with the control group (1.00±0.21 and 1.00±0.19, respectively, all with P < 0.05). But it had no obvious effect on the proliferation and HOTAIR expression in NP69 (all with P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: RBM24 inhibited cell proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE1 and immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cells N5,through downregulation of HOTAIR expression.
