RNaseH2A was silenced in glioblastoma cell lines U87 and U251. Gene expression was assessed in the cells transfected with RNaseH2A shRNA or scramble shRNA by microarrays, validated by quantitative real time PCR. Protein expression was evaluated by western blot analysis. Cell proliferation was assessed by the MTT assay; cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Finally, the effects of RNaseH2A on colony formation and tumorigenicity were assessed in vitro and in a mouse xenograft model, respectively.
RNaseH2A may be involved in human gliomagenesis, likely by regulating signaling pathways responsible for cell proliferation and apoptosis.
