Abstract: RNAi was used to inhibit RAN gene’s transcription and expression level of RAN. The apoptosis was detected by Annex in Ⅴ-APC flow cytometry (FCM) and the cell cycle was determined by FCM with single PI staining. Results of real time fluorescence quantitative PCR tests demonstrated that RAN gene can be inhibited efficiently by RNAi. The apoptosis percentage in RNAi group was lower than that in the negative control, the number of cells in G1 phase were higher than in the negative control. These results indicated that RAN gene may maintain the genomic stability through regulating the cell apoptosis and cell cycles.

Key words: RAN gene, genomic instability, RNA interference, cell cycle, cell apoptosis
