The plasmids of over-expressed LRIG3 and the blank plasmid serving as control were transfected into the bladder cancer cell lines, T24, EJ and BIU-87, and the expression levels of LRIG3 mRNA and protein were de- tected by using real-time PCR and Western blotting. The changes in the cell cycle and apoptosis were examined by using flow cytometry. The invasive ability was measured by Transwell assay, and CCK-8 assays were used to measure the proliferation of cells. As compared with the control group, the LRIG3 mRNA and protein expression levels in LRIG3 cDNA-transfected group were raised significantly （P〈0.05）. The average number of cells with up-regulated LRIG3 passing through the inserted filter was decreased significantly as compared with the control group （P〈0.05）. Up-regulation of LRIG3 also could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of T24, EJ and BIU-87 cells. Except BIU-87, the T24 and EJ cells transfected with LIRG3 eDNA were arrested in G0/G1 phase compared to the control group （P〈0.05）. In conclusion, the over-expression of LRIG3 could influence the cell cycle and invasion, in- hibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in the three bladder cancer cell lines.展开更多
