The c-Fes protein-tyrosine kinase is associated with growth and differentiation of hematopoietic, neuronal, vascular endothelial and epithelial cell types. In this study, we investigated whether small interfering RNA (siRNA)mediated knockdown of c-Fes expression affected proliferation of the human renal carcinoma cell lines, ACHN and VMRC-RCW. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that c-Fes was expressed in both the cytosol and nuclei of these cells, and siRNA treatment preferentially downregulated c-Fes expression in the cytosol. Knock-down of c-Fes inhibited cellular proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with minimal increase in cell death. c-Fes siRNA treatment also downregulated the phosphorylation of AktI on S473 and IKK alpha on T23, and cyclin D1 expression, enhanced the expression of I kappa B alpha, and prevented the nuclear localization of NF kappa B. Treatment with an NF kappa B inhibitory peptide (SN50) also blocked the proliferation and nuclear localization of NF kappa B in these cells. The effect of SN50 treatment was not enhanced by c-Fes siRNA, suggesting that. downregulation of c-Fes expression inhibited cell cycle progression through the Akt1/NF kappa B pathway. In contrast to siRNA-mediated knockdown, ectopic expression of either wild-type or kinase-inactive c-Fes in renal carcinoma cells failed to alter their proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Thus, suppression of proliferation resulting from siRNA-mediated knockdown may depend upon an expression of c-Fes protein rather than its kinase activity. Taken together, our results indicate that downregulation of c-Fes expression may be a potential
