| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of cyclindependent kinase 7 (CDK7) silencing on the sensitivity of the HEC1A endometrial carcinoma cell line to cisplatin [cisdichlorodiammineplatinum (II), or DDP]. Four CDK7 siRNA fragments were designed and synthesized based on the gene sequence of CDK7 and transfected into HEC1A cells. The RNA interference of the fragments was confirmed by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot analyses. The CDK7423 siRNA fragment exhibited the most marked silencing of CDK7 (>70%), and was chosen for the subsequent experiments in HEC1A endometrial carcinoma cells. The sensitivity of the cells to a chemotherapeutic agent (cisplatin) was determined before and after transfection of the siRNA, using a MTT cytotoxicity assay, flow cytometry and Hoechst/propidium iodide (PI) doublestaining immunofluorescence microscopy. The results of the MTT cytotoxicity assay showed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration of cisplatin was reduced from 45.12 µg/ml to 3.200 µg/ml following the inhibition of CDK7 expression levels, indicating a significantly increased cytotoxicity in the treated cells (P<0.05). The flow cytometry analysis showed that the mean rate of apoptosis in the CDK7 lowexpression group was 37.57%, which was significantly higher than the rate in the parental cells (11.66%) (P<0.05). Hoechst/PI coimmunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the number of apoptotic bodies in the CDK7 lowexpression HEC1A cells was significantly increased as compared with the parental cells. Downregulation of CDK7 expression levels in HEC1A endometrial carcinoma cells via the transfection of CDK7 siRNA may significantly enhance cancer cell sensitivity to cisplatin chemotherapy and increasing apoptosis. CDK7 is a novel promising treatment for endometrial carcinoma that requires further indepth study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
