Abstract: This research designed four target sequences (DS-1, DS-2, DS-3, DS-4) based on DENN-SV
    sequence and shRNA design principles, and connected them to pRNAi-U6.1/Neo empty vector using recombinant
    DNA technology after annealing, and transformed them into competent E.coli. Amplify strains, extract plasmids
    and conduct digestion and DNA sequencing were obtained. After transfecting recombinant eukaryotic expression
    vector into human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, we used RT-PCR and Western blot inhibition to restrain the efficiency
    of DENN-SV mRNA expression, and got the growth curves of MCF-7 by MTT assay. Sequencing results conformed
    that the designed sequence had been successfully transfected into human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The expression
    of GFP (green fluorescent protein) was visible but inhibited (P<0.01). The inhibitory effect of DS-1 group was the
    greatest. Results of growth curves by MTT assay showed that after transfection, the cell prolife ratio of experimental
    group reduced significantly (P<0.05). The study successfully, with the application of RNAi technology, built up small
    interfering RNA recombinant, which laid the foundation for the further study of the breast cancer gene therapy.
