This study investigated the effects of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the invasion capacity of human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y in vitro. Three siRNAs targeting CXCR4 were chemically synthesized and individually transfected into SH-SY5Y cells. Expression of CXCR4 mRNA and protein was signiifcantly sup-pressed in transfected cells by all three sequence-speciifc siRNAs compared with control groups. Furthermore, the invasion capacity of SH-SY5Y cells was signiifcantly decreased following trans-fection with CXCR4-speciifc siRNA compared with the control groups. These data demonstrate that down-regulation of CXCR4 can inhibit in vitro invasion of neuroblastoma.

Tol-like receptor 3 protein expression has been shown to be upregulated during cerebral ische-mia/reperfusion injury in rats. In this study, rat primary cortical neurons were subjected to oxy-gen-glucose deprivation to simulate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Chemical y synthesized smal interfering RNA (siRNA)-1280,-1724 and-418 specific to tol-like receptor 3 were transfected into oxygen-glucose deprived cortical neurons to suppress the upregulation of tol-like receptor 3 protein expression. Western blotting demonstrated that after transfection with siRNA, tol-like ceptor 3 protein expression reduced, especial y in the tol-like receptor 3-1724 group. These results suggested that siRNA-1724 is an optimal sequence for inhibiting tol-like receptor 3 expression in cortical neurons fol owing oxygen-glucose deprivation.
