AIM: To inhibit focal adhesion kinase (FAK) of cardiac fibroblasts in adult rats with RNA interference (RNAi) technique mediated by RNAi vector, and observe changes of cell proliferation and apeptosis. METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Central Experimental Laboratory of Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military University of Chinese PLA from December 2004 to December 2005. Twenty-four Wistar rats aged 10-12 weeks of clean grade were chosen. Cardiac fibroblasts of reconstructed RNAi plasmid of transfected target FAK were taken as interventional group, untransfected cells, transfected empty plasmids and nonspecific siRNA cells were taken as different control groups. There were totally 4 groups with 6 rats in each group. Cardiac fibroblasts of rats were cultured with digesting method, RNAi vector of FAK were designed, constructed and verified. Inhibiting efficiency of FAK were checked by western blotting method. Cellproliferation was detected with MTr colorimetric assay; Apoptosis percentage was inspected with terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase-mediated nick and labelling (TUNEL),changes of bcl-2 and bax were measured with flow cytometry. RESULTS: A total of 24 Wistar rats all entered the final analysis.(1) Restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing indicated 'that RNAi vector of FAK was successfully constructed. Results of Western blot suggested that RNA inhibiting efficiency of RNAi vector of the second reconstructed FAK was the highest, which was 72.1%, others were respecitvely 66.2 % and 55.3 %. (2)A490 value of Pavu6+27-FAK2 in the transfection group was obviously lower than that in untransfeced cells, transfected empty plasmid and nonspecific siRNA group (0.179 ±0.017,0.30 ±0.002,0.296 ±0.006, 0.281±0.007;t=17.802,16.436,14.993,P 〈 0.01); And its apoptotic rate was higher than that in other groups [(22.28±9.13)%,(4.72±1.67)%,(636±0.92)%, (8.19±1.33)%;t=19.05,-17.31,-15.16,P 〈 0.01]. (3)Bax in Pavu6+27-FAK2 transfection group remarkably rised and there were significant differences in comparison with normal control group and empty-plasmid transfection group.(2.15±058,1.01 ±0.04,1.12±0.04; t=-4.79,-4.318,P 〈 0.01);Compared with negative control group, differences were remarkable(1.19±0.31, t=-3.59, P〈 0.05). (4)Expression of bcl-2 in Pavu6+27-FAK2 in transfection group was markedly increased than that in the normal control group, empty-plasmid transfection group and negative control group (1.62 ±0.15,1.04±0.03,1.09±0.01,1.23±0.04 ;t=-9.39,-8.701, -6.338 ,P 〈 0.05 ). CONCLUSION: Pavu6+27-FAK siRNA expression vector can inhibit the expression of FAK in cardiac fibroblasts and induce anoikis. Inhibition or reduction of FAK expression in cardiac fibroblasts may be a mean of preventing myocardial fibrosis.
