A molecular beacon, which was designed and synthesized according to the p21 gene sequence, was applied to develop a new method for quantitative detection of p21 mRNA in cellular total RNA. The results showed that p21 mRNA is inhibited by silencing p53 in CNE2 cells while it is upregulated in MCF-7 cells by ING1 transfection, the influence of 5-FU treatment on p21 mRNA of MCF-7 cells is time and concentration-dependent manner. These results demonstrated that the new method with the advantage of high specificity, fast speed and simplicity can be widely applied for p21 mRNA detection in different samples.

Key words: molecular beacon, p21, RT-PCR, quantitative detection
