文题释义:
二甲双胍:
作为临床广泛应用的安全高效的双胍类降糖药,通过减少糖异生、提高组织的胰岛素敏感性、抑制小肠对葡萄糖的吸收而发挥降糖作用。体内外实验研究发现,二甲双胍能直接和(或)间接抑制多种肿瘤细胞或肿瘤干细胞增殖并通过细胞周期阻滞诱导细胞凋亡。还有多项研究证实二甲双胍可以提高肿瘤细胞对化疗药物的敏感性。以上研究结果均提示,二甲双胍可成为肿瘤治疗的新选择。
胃癌干细胞:最初自胃癌组织中分离出的具有异质性的细胞,不仅具有与肿瘤干细胞相同的自我更新和不对称分裂性质,还具有与胚胎干细胞相同的分化潜能,构成了肿瘤组织的细胞起源,可在体外培养条件下分化形成血管内皮样及腺体样结构。研究发现,胃癌干细胞除了具有较普通胃癌细胞更强的肿瘤发生与形成能力,还具有较强的迁移与侵袭能力,并通过分泌促进血管生长的相关因子直接或间接促进肿瘤血管的形成,从而在胃癌的抗药、复发、侵袭与转移中发挥主导作用。

 

摘要
背景:
二甲双胍可抑制包括胃癌干细胞在内的多种肿瘤干细胞的增殖,靶向胃癌干细胞为临床有效治疗胃癌提供新思路,但其对胃癌干细胞增殖中PI3K/Akt信号通路的影响及可能机制尚未见报道。
目的:探讨二甲双胍对胃癌干细胞增殖、凋亡及PI3K/Akt信号通路的影响。
方法:以人胃癌SGC7901细胞株为亲本细胞分离培养胃癌干细胞并进行鉴定。以不同浓度(1,5,10 mmol/L)二甲双胍分别处理胃癌干细胞24,48,72 h,MTT检测细胞增殖活力,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡,RT-qPCR检测细胞中PI3K、Akt mRNA的表达;以8 mmol/L二甲双胍与100 mg/L Akt激活剂胰岛素样生长因子1共同处理胃癌干细胞,Western blot检测细胞中PI3K、Akt和p-Akt蛋白的表达,MTT检测细胞增殖活力,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡。
结果与结论:①人胃癌SGC7901细胞在添加生长因子的无血清条件培养基中可分离培养出胃癌干细胞;②胃癌干细胞的增殖活力随着二甲双胍作用浓度增高和时间延长而降低(P < 0.05);③胃癌干细胞的凋亡率随着二甲双胍作用浓度增高和时间延长而增高(P < 0.05);④胃癌干细胞中Akt mRNA的表达随着二甲双胍作用浓度增高和时间延长而降低(P < 0.05),PI3K mRNA的表达降低不明显;⑤与二甲双胍相比,Akt激活剂作用后胃癌干细胞增殖活力升高、凋亡率降低、Akt与p-Akt蛋白表达升高(P < 0.05);⑥结果说明,二甲双胍可通过抑制Akt信号通路抑制胃癌干细胞增殖并诱导其凋亡。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Metformin can inhibit the proliferation of a variety of tumor stem cells, including gastric cancer stem cells, and target gastric cancer stem cells to provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of gastric cancer. However, the role and possible mechanism of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in the proliferation of gastric cancer stem cells have not yet been reported.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of metformin on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer stem cells as well as the role of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
METHODS: Gastric cancer stem cells were isolated and cultured from human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901. (1) Metformin with different concentrations (1, 5, 10 mmol/L) was used to treat gastric cancer stem cells for 24, 48 and 72 hours. MTT was used to detect cell proliferation, flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and R-qPCR was used to detect the expressions of PI3K and Akt mRNA in the cells. (2) The gastric cancer stem cells were treated with 8 mmol/L metformin and 100 mg/L Akt activator (insulin growth factor-1). Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of PI3K, Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) protein. The proliferation activity and apoptosis of the cells were detected by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Gastric cancer stem cells can be isolated from human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells by adding exogenous growth factors in serum-free conditions. The proliferative activity of gastric cancer stem cells decreased with the increasing concentration of metformin and prolonged time (P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate of gastric cancer stem cells increased with the increase of metformin concentration and the prolongation of time (P < 0.05). The expression of Akt mRNA in gastric cancer stem cells decreased with the increasing concentration of metformin and prolonged time (P < 0.05), but the expression of PI3K mRNA showed no marked reduction. Compared with metformin, the Akt activator increased the activity of gastric cancer stem cells, decreased the cell apoptosis, and elevated the expression of Akt and p-Akt (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that metformin can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of gastric cancer stem cells by inhibiting the Akt signaling pathway.
