| Abstract | Livin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors and cancer cell lines. Livin overexpression has been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), suggesting the biological significance of livin in HCC progression. However, the mechanisms of livin and the consequence of its down-regulation in HCC have not been fully elucidated. A small interfering RNA (siRNA) eukaryotic expression vector specific to livin was constructed by gene recombination, and the nucleic acid was sequenced. It was then transfected into the human HCC cell line SMMC-7721. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to validate the gene-silencing efficiency of livin in SMMC-7721 cells. Stable clones were obtained by G418 screening. Using multiple cellular and molecular approaches, such as an apoptosis assay, MTT assay, flow cytometry, Western blotting and a migration assay, the effects of livin inhibition on cell growth, migration and the induction of apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells were observed. The siRNA eukaryotic expression vector specific to livin was constructed by gene recombination, and efficiently decreased the mRNA and protein expression of livin. The targeted inhibition of livin strongly sensitized SMMC-7721 cells to pro-apoptotic stimuli, and was associated with caspase-3 activation. In addition, the MMT assay indicated that the silencing of livin inhibited the cell growth of SMMC-7721 cells by specifically inhibiting cell mitosis. The results also showed that the silencing of livin strongly reduced the invasive capacity of SMMC-7721 cells. The findings suggest that livin expression not only provides HCC cells with increased resistance to apoptotic stimuli, but also contributes significantly to the proliferation and invasive capacity of HCC cells. Inhibition of livin may be a potential targeted approach for the treatment of HCC. |

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.
