文题释义:
肿瘤干细胞:
是指具有干细胞性质的癌细胞,也就是具有“自我复制”以及“具有多细胞分化”等能力。肿瘤干细胞被认为是造成癌症转移、复发,或是肿瘤对于化疗、放疗产生抗性的原因之一。目前针对这个理论,学者希望研究出针对肿瘤干细胞的疗法,能够专一性地杀死肿瘤干细胞,以降低肿瘤产生抗药性或是转移的现象。
Hedgehog信号通路:是胚胎发育过程中各种组织生长和图式发育及成人组织稳态必不可少的一个重要的发育信号通路。该信号功能失常与诸如先天畸形和癌症等许多人类疾病相关。hedgehog(hh)基因首先作为一种胚胎体节畸形基因在果蝇中被发现。在哺乳动物中目前已确定了3个Hh家族成员:Sonic Hedgehog (Shh),Indian Hedgehog (Ihh)和Desert Hedgehog。Hh信号通路的关键元件包括12次跨膜受体Patched (Ptc),功能上作为Hh受体,7次跨膜蛋白Smoothened (Smo),功能上作为必要的Hh信号传导子,以及锌指转录因子Cubitus interruptus (Ci)/Gli。

 

摘要
背景:
前期研究发现小檗碱对多种肿瘤和肿瘤干细胞具有抑制作用,但是对肺癌干细胞的影响报道较少。
目的:探讨小檗碱对肺癌干细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及其可能的机制。
方法:采用免疫磁珠法分离CD133+肺癌干细胞,MTT法和流式细胞仪分别检测不同质量浓度小檗碱(0,2.5,5,10,20,40 mg/L)对CD133+肺癌干细胞增殖和凋亡的影响,免疫印迹检测小檗碱(0,20 mg/L)对肺癌干细胞中Ki67、Bax、Bcl-2、PTCH1、SHH、Gli-1和SMO蛋白表达的影响。
结果与结论:①采用免疫磁珠法分选得到高比率的CD133+肺癌干细胞;②小檗碱抑制肺癌干细胞生长,并呈浓度依赖性;③小檗碱促进肺癌干细胞凋亡,并呈浓度依赖性;④Ki67、Bcl-2、PTCH1、SHH、Gli-1和SMO蛋白在20 mg/L小檗碱组中的表达水平明显低于未加药组,Bax蛋白的表达水平则明显高于未加药组;⑤结果表明,小檗碱可能通过调控Hedgehog信号通路抑制肺癌干细胞增殖,促进其凋亡。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated that berberine represses multiple tumors and tumor stem cells, but the effect of berberine on lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs) remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of berberine on the proliferation and apoptosis of LCSCs and the possible mechanism.
METHODS: CD133+ LCSCs were separated from A549 cells by immunomagnetic beads. The effects of different 
concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/L) of berberine on the proliferation and apoptosis of LCSCs were determined by MTT and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. In order to further affirm the effect of berberine on the proliferation and apoptosis of LCSCs, the expression levels of Ki67, Bax and Bcl-2 protein were detected by western blot. In addition, to investigate the potential mechanism by which berberine exerts regulatory effects on LCSCs, the expression levels of Hedgehog signaling pathway-associated proteins (PTCH1, SHH, Gli-1 and SMO) were determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After magnetic cell sorting, the content of the CD133+ fraction was enriched up to 84.13%. MTT and flow cytometry assays showed that berberine inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis of LCSCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that the expression levels of Ki67, Bcl-2, PTCH1, SHH, Gli-1 and SMO proteins of LCSCs cultured in the medium with 20 mg/L berberine were dramatically decreased compared to the control, while the expression level of Bax protein was markedly increased compared to the control. These findings suggest that berberine may inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis for LCSCs through the Hedgehog signaling pathway.
