The effect of MAD2L2 siRNA and miR-890, alone or in combination, on IR therapy. (A) MAD2L2 knock-down by siRNA (siMAD2L2), miR-890, or combined siRNA and miR-890 in LNCaP and DU145 cells (10 nM). Western blot 48 h after transfection. ACTB was utilized as a loading reference. (B) IR sensitization potency of siMAD2L2 and/or miR-890 (0.08–10 nM) in LNCaP-MLuc cells. Relative cell viability (mean ± SE, n = 12) is presented as the MLuc activity after IR (4 Gy), as normalized by control miRNA. *, P < 0.05. (C) The calculated IC50 value of each treatment group, based on relative cell viability after IR in LNCaP-MLuc cells. (D) Clonogenic survival assay of DU145 cells transfected with control miRNA, siMAD2L2, miR-890, or combined siRNA and miR-890 (10 nM). The surviving fraction is reported (mean ± SD, n = 3) following the indicated doses of IR. *, P < 0.05 compared with control; **, P < 0.05 compared with siMAD2L2; ***, P < 0.05 compared with miR-890. DMF0.1 of siMAD2L2, miR-890 and combined siRNA and miR-890 is 1.58, 1.49 and 1.90, respectively.
