Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCHL1) on non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549. UCHL1 gene knockout A549 cell line was constructed by CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing technique. The mRNA and protein levels of UCHL1 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and cycles were analyzed by CCK-8 method and flow cytometry, respectively. The sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin was detected by CCK-8 method. Migration ability of A549 cells was detected by scratch assay and Transwell test, and p-Erk expression level was assessed by Western blot. The results showed that UCHL1 gene knockout A549 cells were successfully constructed by CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing technique. After UCHL1 gene knockout, there was no significant change in cell proliferation and cell cycle ratios in A549 cells. UCHL1 gene knockout A549 cells exhibited decreased sensitivity to cisplatin and migration activity, as well as increased p-Erk expression level. These results suggest that the loss of UCHL1 gene function may reduce the sensitivity and migration ability of A549 cells, and this effect may be related to the activation of Erk1/2 signaling pathway.
