Abstract

Objective This study explores the role of Numb isoforms in proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. Methods TALEN technology was used to knock out Numb gene in MCF-7 cells, and then transfected p65, p66, p71 and p72 expression vectors into these Numb-KO MCF-7 cells. On this occasion, CCK-8 proliferation assay and wound scratch assay were used to detect MCF-7 cell proliferation and migration. Results The results show that transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) is effective in knocking out Numb gene. Compared with normal MCF-7 cells, proliferation and migration abilities of Numb-KO MCF-7 cells are significantly enhanced. Numb isoform p72 inhibits proliferation of Numb-KO MCF-7 cells, and Numb isoforms p65, p66, p71 and p72 inhibit migration of Numb-KO MCF-7 cells.
