RBBP4 downregulation increases the sensitivity of A549 and HeLa cells to cisplatin by inhibiting cyclin D1 expression.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Retinoblastoma-Binding Protein 4 (RBBP4), belonging to the WD-40 family, is an important member of the Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2), the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation complex (NuRD), and is involved in chromatin remodeling, histone deacetylation, and H3K27 methylation.

Methods

The effects of cisplatin treatment on cell viability were evaluated using the MTT assay. Western blotting was employed to analyze protein expression, and RNA interference-mediated knockdown of RBBP4 and cyclin D1 was conducted using Lipofectamine 2000. The formation of colonies was evaluated following a 14-day cisplatin treatment period. Cisplatin uptake was quantified by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. RNA sequencing was conducted on total RNA extracted from cells, a
