RSF1 regulates the proliferation and paclitaxel resistance via modulating NF-κB signaling pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Aberrant expression and dysfunction of RSF1 has been reported in diverse human malignancies. However, its exact role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. Methods: The expression of RSF1 mRNA and protein were assayed by qRT-PCR and western blotting, and their correlations with clinicopathological parameters of patients with NPC were further analysed. Lentivirus mediated RSF1 shRNA and RSF1 cDNA were used to knockdown and upregulate the expression of RSF1. CCK8 assays and flow cytometry were applied to monitor the changes of proliferation and paclitaxel sensitivity caused by RSF1 modulation, inhibition of NF-κB pathway by inhibitor Bay 11-7082 and Survivin knockdown. Western blotting was used to detect protein alterations in NF-κB signaling pathway. Re
