Wherein shCtrl is a control group, shROGDI is an experimental group, the upper curve is a control group, and the lower curve is an experimental group. As shown in fig. 2, the results of cell proliferation experiments show that the knocking down of the expression of the ROGDI gene significantly inhibits the proliferation of the breast cancer cell MCF7 both on day 4 and day 5 (P <0.001 ).

Each group of 6 mice was inoculated with 100. mu.l of 5X 106And (4) cells. After 1.5 months, tumor size and volume were measured and statistically analyzed.
Figure 3 shows the effect of knockdown of ROGDI on breast cancer growth in tumor-bearing mice. Wherein NC is a control group, and shrogDI is an experimental group. As shown in fig. 3, the tumor-bearing experimental results of mice showed that the tumor volume of the breast cancer in the ROGDI-low expression group is significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01). Therefore, the reduction of the expression of the ROGDI gene can obviously inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells.
