文题释义:
JAK/STAT信号通路:
是近年来发现的一条由细胞因子刺激的信号转导通路,参与细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡以及免疫调节等许多重要的生物学过程。与其他信号通路相比,这条信号通路的传递过程相对简单,它主要由3个成分组成,即酪氨酸激酶相关受体、酪氨酸激酶JAK和转录因子STAT。目前已发现STAT家族的6个成员,即STAT1-STAT6。STAT蛋白在结构上可分为以下几个功能区段:N-端保守序列、DNA结合区、SH3结构域、SH2结构域及C-端的转录激活区。其中,序列上最保守和功能上最重要的区段是SH2结构域,它具有与酪氨酸激酶Src的SH2结构域完全相同的核心序列“GTFLLRFSS”。
白细胞介素6受体:识别白细胞介素6的受体。高亲和力受体由配体结合链α链(CD126)和信号转导链gp130(CD130)组成(均为Ⅰ型细胞因子受体家族成员),表达广泛。α链可从膜表面脱落或由于RNA的不同剪接而形成sIL-6R,能与白细胞介素6结合为复合物,通过与膜型gp130结合而增强白细胞介素6的生物学作用。

 

摘要
背景:
人脐带间充质干细胞能分泌多种细胞因子,参与调控肿瘤的增殖、转移及血管生成等生物学行为,其中白细胞介素6可能是最重要的炎性因子之一。
目的:探讨人脐带间充质干细胞通过IL-6/STAT3信号通路对肝癌HepG-2细胞增殖和迁移的作用。
方法:采用ELISA法检测人脐带间充质干细胞和肝癌HepG-2细胞中白细胞介素6的表达量。Western blot法检测肝癌HepG-2细胞内STAT3以及p-STAT3蛋白质的表达水平。RT-PCR法检测PCNA、CyclinD1、Survivin、STAT3基因的转录水平。细胞计数法和CCK-8法检测肝癌HepG-2细胞的增殖能力。划痕实验和Transwell实验检测肝癌HepG-2细胞的迁移能力。
结果与结论:①人脐带间充质干细胞白细胞介素6表达量明显高于肝癌HepG-2细胞(P < 0.05);②人脐带间充质干细胞的条件培养基和白细胞介素6均能激活STAT3,白细胞介素6中和抗体则明显削弱了人脐带间充质干细胞条件培养基的激活作用;③用白细胞介素6中和抗体或AG490抑制STAT3的活性后,肝癌HepG-2细胞的增殖相关基因PCNA、CyclinD1、Survivin的mRNA表达水平明显下调,其增殖和迁移能力明显下降;④结果表明,人脐带间充质干细胞能分泌白细胞介素6激活STAT3信号通路促进肝癌HepG-2细胞的体外增殖和迁移。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) can secrete a variety of factors involved in the regulation of tumor proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis. Probably,  interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of the most important inflammatory factors.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of hUC-MSCs on the proliferation and migration of HepG-2 hepatocyte carcinoma cells via the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.
METHODS: IL-6 expression levels in hUC-MSCs and HepG-2 cells were determined by ELISA. STAT3 and p-STAT3 expression levels were determined by western blot assay. Transcription levels of PCNA, CyclinD1 and STAT3 genes were measured by RT-PCR. HepG-2 cell proliferation was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell counting kit-8 assays. The migration capacity of HepG-2 cells was evaluated through a scratch test and Transwell assays.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The IL-6 level in the hUC-MSCs was significantly higher than that in the HepG-2 cells (P < 0.05). Both the hUC-MSC conditioned culture medium and IL-6 could be used for STAT3 activation. The addition of an IL-6 neutralizing antibody significantly weakened the activation of STAT3 in HepG-2 cells by the hUC-MSCs-conditioned culture medium. In the presence of the IL-6 neutralizing antibody or the STAT3 inhibitor, AG490, the mRNA expression levels of HepG-2 proliferation-related genes (PCNA, CyclinD1 and Survivin) were significantly reduced. The proliferation and migration capacity of HepG-2 cells were also significantly decreased by this treatment. Taken together, hUC-MSCs can secrete IL-6 to activate the STAT3 signaling pathway, thereby promoting the proliferation and migration of HepG-2 cells.
