Objective: To investigate the effect of steadily down-regulating the expression of calreticulin (CALR) on the invasion of natural killer/T-cell lymphoma SNK6 cells, and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods: The sequences of specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting on human CALR were designed, and were inserted into pLKO.1-puro lentivirus vector, and the reconbinant lentivirus vector was obtained; the lentivirus particles were backed by three-plasmid system and transfected into SNK6 cells, the SNK6 cells stably down-regulating the CALR expression were sercened by puromytain, the CALR-silencing effect was verified by real-time PCR and Western blot. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the cell viability, The transwell invasion assays was used to analyse invasion of SNK6 cells. The mRNA expression of Calreticulin, MMP2, MMP9 and VEGF was determined by real time PCR, the protein expression of Calreticulin and GAPDH was analyzed by Western blot.
Results: The recombinant lentiviral vector pLKO.1-puro-shCALR was successfully constructed, packed into the lentivirus, then the SNK6 cells stably down-regulating Calreticulin expression was obtained. When Calreticulin was down-rengulated in SNK6 cells, the proliferation rate was reduced and the invasion ability was decreased; the mRNA levels of VEGF and MMP-2/9 also were reduced.
Conclusion: The stable down-regnlation of CALR expression in SNK6 cells can attenuate the imvasiveness of SNK6 cells, which maybe related with transcriptional decrease of MMP2, MMP9 and VEGF.

结果: 成功构建重组慢病毒载体pLKO.1-puro-shCALR，并包装慢病毒，筛选出稳定下调钙网蛋白的 SNK6细胞株。稳定下调SNK6细胞钙网蛋白表达后，SNK6侵袭性减弱，MMP2、MMP9和VEGF的转录水平降低.
结论: 稳定下调 SNK6细胞钙网蛋白的表达可使SNK6细胞侵袭性减弱，其机制可能与降低MMP2、MMP9和VEGF的转录水平有关.
