文题释义:
基因沉寂:
也可以被称为“基因沉默”。基因沉寂是真核生物细胞基因表达调节的一种重要手段。在染色体水平,基因沉寂实际上是形成异染色质(Heterochromatin)的过程,被沉寂的基因区段呈高浓缩状态。
肿瘤干细胞:目前有两种理论解释,一是随机化理论,它认为肿瘤细胞具有同质性,即每一个肿瘤细胞都具有新生肿瘤的潜力,但是能进入细胞分化周期的肿瘤细胞很少,是一个小概率随机事件。而分层理论认为,肿瘤细胞具有功能异质性,只有有限数目的肿瘤细胞具有产生肿瘤的能力,但这些肿瘤细胞再生肿瘤是高频事件。虽然两种理论都认为只有很少数量的肿瘤细胞能再生肿瘤,但是机制是完全不同的。目前的实验结果倾向于第二种解释,即肿瘤组织中存在数量稀少的癌细胞,在肿瘤形成过程中充当干细胞的角色,具有自我更新、增殖和分化的潜能,虽然数量少,却在肿瘤的发生、发展、复发和转移中起着重要作用,由于其众多性质与干细胞相似,所以这些细胞被称为肿瘤干细胞。

 

摘要
背景:
人类白细胞抗原F介导转录因子10 (human leukocyte antigen F-associated transcript 10,FAT10)在结肠癌等很多种肿瘤细胞中会发生高表达,但其与食管癌的关系报道较少。
目的:观察siRNA干扰技术沉默类泛素蛋白(FAT10)基因表达对人食管癌细胞EC9706细胞的侵袭、凋亡及及肿瘤干细胞特性的影响。
方法:根据FAT10 mRNA编码序列设计并合成干扰siRNA序列,瞬时转染EC9706细胞。将人食管癌细胞EC9706细胞分为3组,设FAT10 siRNA组,阴性对照组、空白对照组。用RT-PCR和Western blot法分别从mRNA水平和蛋白水平检测FAT10及bcl-2的表达;CCK-8法测定细胞体外增殖能力;流式细胞技术观察细胞凋亡及肿瘤干细胞标志物CD44+CD133+的表达;TUNEL染色检测各组细胞的的凋亡、细胞侵袭小室法检测各组细胞的体外侵袭力。
结果与结论:①RT-PCR和Western blot显示,FAT10 siRNA组较阴性对照组和空白对照组FAT10 及bcl-2 mRNA和蛋白表达都明显下降(P < 0.05);②肿瘤干细胞标志物CD44+CD133+的表达比例显著降低(P < 0.05); ③与阴性对照组和空白对照组相比,FAT10 siRNA组细胞的凋亡率明显升高(P < 0.01),增殖、侵袭力显著下降(P < 0.05)。④结果表明,特异性沉默FAT10 基因表达能够降低食管癌细胞的侵袭力,抑制细胞的增殖,促进bcl-2表达降低,使其凋亡显著增加,使具有CD44+CD133+肿瘤干细胞特性的细胞比例降低。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte antigen F-associated transcription factor 10 (FAT10) is highly expressed in many tumor cells like colon cancer cells, but its relationship with esophageal cancer is less reported.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of siRNA interference technique on the invasion, apoptosis and the characteristics of EC9706 cells, a human esophageal cancer cell line.
METHODS: siRNA sequence was designed and synthesized according to the FAT10 mRNA encoding sequence, and the EC9706 cells were transiently transfected. EC9706 cells were divided into three groups: siRNA FAT10 group, negative control group, and blank control group. The expression levels of bcl-2 and FAT10 were detected by RT-PCR and western blot assay, respectively. Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to measure the proliferation of cells in vitro. Flow cytometry was used to observe the changes of cell cycle, cell apoptosis and the expression of CD44+CD133+. TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of the cells. Cell invasion in vitro was detected by Transwell invasion assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: RT-PCR and western blot findings showed that compared with the negative control group and blank control group, the expression levels of bcl-2 and FAT10 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in the siRNA FAT10 group (P < 0.05); the percentage of CD44+CD133+ cells was decreased significantly (P < 0.05); and significantly increased apoptosis rate, and decreased cell proliferation and invasion were also found in the siRNA FAT10 group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the specific silencing of FAT10 gene can reduce the invasion of esophageal cancer cells, inhibit cell proliferation, reduce bcl-2 expression, and increase the apoptosis rate. Meanwhile, the proportion of CD44+CD133+ cells is decreased.
