Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of chitinase‑3‑like protein 1 (YKL‑40) gene RNA interference on the biological behaviors and enhanced chemosensitivity of endometrial cancer (EC) HEC‑1A cells. YKL‑40 small interfering (si)RNA was transduced into EC HEC‑1A cells using a lentivirus. The experiment was divided into three groups: The experimental group was transfected with YKL‑40 siRNA (si‑YKL‑40); the mock‑treatment group was transfected with transfection reagent only; and the blank control group was left untreated. A reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to investigate the mRNA expression levels of YKL‑40. The biological behaviors, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, were detected by MTT and Transwell assays, and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis, respectively. The results of the present study demonstrated that the mRNA expression levels of YKL‑40 were downregulated within HEC‑1A cells upon transfection with si‑YKL‑40 (P<0.05). The proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of HEC‑1A cells were inhibited by si‑YKL‑40 (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of YKL‑40 were upregulated within HEC‑1A cells following treatment with cisplatin (P<0.05). FCM analysis revealed that the average cellular apoptosis rate increased following the inhibition of YKL‑40 gene expression via siRNA (P<0.05). Therefore, the YKL‑40 gene may be associated with the proliferative, migratory, invasive and anti‑apoptotic ability of HEC‑1A cells. YKL‑40 downregulation may enhance the sensitivity of human EC HEC‑1A cells to chemotherapy.
