Objective: To construct the small interfering RNA (siRNA) expression vector of carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and inhibit the expression of CEA in EC9706 cells by RNA interference. Methods: Two pairs of oligonucleotide sequences were designed and synthesized according to the encoding sequence of mRNA of CEA. The annealed oligonucleotide frag-ments were cloned into pRNAT-U6.2 expression vector and identified by sequencing. The recombinant plasmid pRNAT-U6.2-CEA was transfected into EC9706 cells. The expression of CEA in the stable transfected cells was assayed by real time PCR and Western blot. Results: DNA sequencing showed that the oligonucleotide fragments were correctly inserted into pRNAT-U6.2 vector, and CEA expression in the transfected cells was down-regulated significantly by pRNAT-U6.2-CEA at both the mRNA and protein levels. Conclusion: The siRNA expression vector of CEA is successfully constructed and inhibits CEA expression in EC9706 cells. This facilitates further studies of the function of CEA at the molecular level.
