Methods Western Blot was used to detect the expression of CD147 in cervical cancer cell lines SiHa(HPV+) and C33a(HPV-) and normal cervical epithelial cells H8(HPV+) and HCer Epic(HPV-). SiHa cells were transfected with lentivirus to down-regulate the expression of CD147. According to the different treatments, SiHa cells were divided into SiHa group, negative control group(shCD147-NON), knockdown group 1(shCD147-1) and knockdown group 2(shCD147-2). The transfection effect was verified by Western Blot, RT-qPCR and green fluorescence expression. The protein and mRNA expressions of AIM2, Caspase-1, IL-18 and GSDMD were detected by Western Blot and RT-qPCR. The lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release was measured in the cell culture supernatant, and the cell morphology was observed under the fluorescence inverted microscope; the proliferation ability of cells was measured by CCK-8 and the colony formation ability was measured by cell cloning experiments. Results Western Blot results showed that CD147 protein expression in SiHa cells was the highest compared with that in HCerEpic cells. CD147 low expression lentivirus effectively down-regulated the expression of CD147 in SiHa cells. The results of Western Blot and RT-qPCR experiments showed that the expression of AIM 2, Caspase-1, IL-18, GSDMD protein and mRNA increased in shCD147-1 and shCD147-2 group(P < 0.05). Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release assay showed that compared with the SiHa group, the shCD147 group had a significant increase in LDH release(P < 0.05). Fluorescence inverted microscope showed that the shCD147 group had swelling and vacuolization, showing typical pyroptosis. Compared with the SiHa group, the shCD147-1 and shCD147-2 groups had significantly reduced the cell proliferation and colony formation ability(P < 0.05). Conclusion Low expression of CD147 effectively up-regulates the expression of AIM2 inflammation-related factors in cervical cancer SiHa cells, induces the pyroptosis, and inhibits the cell proliferation and cloning. -
