Examination of the functions and mechanism of KCP in mediating paclitaxel resistance in cervical squamous carcinoma cells by Yue He, Jian-Qing Xu, Jing-Jing Zhang, Zhen-You Liu, Chen Ji, Yang Liu, Yun-Fan Wang, Ming Wang, Yu-Mei Wu, Yan Wang

“…Key cell functions were assessed by colony formation assay, measurement of cell proliferation by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and FACS-based detection of apoptosis. The downstream mechanism of KCP-mediated resistance to paclitaxel was then examined using human gene chip detection and IPA bioinformatics analysis, and qPCR analysis was used to validate its downstream genes.Results①Functional studies of SiHa cells showed that KCP knockout (sgRNA) inhibited colony formation and proliferation of SiHa cells in the presence of paclitaxel (p<0.05). ②Using a whole human genome microarray, a total of 491 differentially expressed genes were identified in KCP knockout versus the NC SiHa cells. …”
