简介:目的探讨RNA干扰(RNAi)技术沉默Bmi-1基因表达对人大肠癌细胞株LOVO增殖和侵袭力的影响及机制。方法将化学法合成的针对Bmi-1mRNA不同位点设计的3对siRNA序列(siR-NA1~3)和1对带有荧光标记的FAM-siRNA(siRNA4)转染至人大肠癌LOVO细胞,荧光显微镜下观察siRNA的转染效率,QRT-PCR检测Bmi-1mRNA表达抑制作用,WesternBlot检测Bmi-1蛋白表达变化,MTT法检测LOVO细胞体外增殖变化,小室侵袭实验检测LOVO细胞侵袭能力。结果利用荧光标记的Oligo观察到siRNA转染效率达70%。siRNA1对mRNA表达抑制率最高,从而筛选出沉默效应最强的siRNA序列为siRNA1。siRNA1转染组LOVO细胞Bmi-1蛋白表达,增殖及侵袭力明显低于阴性对照组和空白对照组(P〈0.05)。结论化学合成的靶向Bmi-1siRNA转染人大肠癌LOVO细胞能有效抑制Bmi-1的mRNA和蛋白质表达水平,Bmi-1基因的RNA干扰可有效抑制人大肠癌LOVO细胞的增殖和侵袭能力。
简介:目的:探讨胃癌细胞株BGC-823、SGC-7901的多药耐药相关基因的表达与其侵袭转移能力的关系。方法采用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测胃癌细胞株BGC-823、SGC-7901的多药耐药相关基因(包括ABCB1、MMP2、CDH1、CD44)的mRNA表达水平。采用细胞划痕实验、Transwell迁徙实验评价两株胃癌细胞的侵袭转移能力,进而探讨胃癌细胞多药耐药相关基因的表达与侵袭转移能力的关系。结果荧光定量PCR实验发现胃癌细胞株BGC-823的ABCB1、CDH1、CD44基因表达较SGC-7901高,而MMP2基因的表达在SGC-7901中较高。细胞划痕实验及Transwell迁徙实验显示胃癌细胞株BGC-823的迁徙能力比SGC-7901强。结论胃癌细胞的多药耐药与侵袭转移有一定的关系,CD44的高表达在胃癌细胞的侵袭转移中可能起主要作用。
简介:背景:协同刺激分子的异常表达与肿瘤细胞免疫逃逸关系密切。程序性死亡受体-1(PD-1)是重要的负性协同刺激分子,与相关配体结合后可诱导并维持肿瘤细胞的免疫耐受,从而促进肿瘤的发生、发展。目的:探讨结直肠癌患者外周血PD-1的表达及其临床意义。方法:选取2015年3月—2015年9月苏州大学附属第一医院的88例结直肠癌患者,以16名健康志愿者作为对照。采用ELISA法检测血清可溶性PD-1(sPD-1)含量,流式细胞术检测外周血CD3+T细胞上PD-1的表达。结果:结直肠癌患者外周血sPD-1含量和CD3+T细胞上PD-1阳性表达率均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),且sPD-1含量与肿瘤分化程度、淋巴结转移和Dukes分期相关(P<0.05),而与患者的性别、年龄和肿瘤部位无关(P>0.05)。结论:结直肠癌患者外周血PD-1高表达,且与肿瘤分期、转移呈正相关。检测PD-1有助于估计病情的进展,有望成为新的肿瘤标记物或抗肿瘤靶点。
