文题释义:
上皮-间质转化:
指上皮细胞到间质细胞的转化,它赋予细胞转移和入侵的能力,不仅在发育过程中起着关键的作用,而且还参与组织愈合、器官纤维化和癌症发生等过程。
Id因子:是Perk等于1990年首先从鼠红白血病细胞cDNA文库中克隆出来的蛋白质,因其能抑制转录因子与DNA结合,又称为DNA结合抑制因子,属于碱性螺旋-环-螺旋(bHLH)转录因子家族,其中最受关注、作用最广泛的是Id2和Id3因子。

 

摘要
背景:
Id基因是碱性螺旋-环-螺旋因子的内源性负性调节因子。该因子参与细胞的增殖、分化和生存,并在不同类型肿瘤的进展和浸润过程中表现出功能的多样性。
目的:探讨沉默Id2基因表达对人前列腺肿瘤干细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响。  
方法:取对数生长期的PC-3人前列腺癌细胞,采用无血清悬浮培养法分离肿瘤干细胞球,流式细胞仪检测肿瘤干细胞表面标记CD44+CD24-表达。构建shRNA-Id2表达载体,转染至前列腺肿瘤干细胞,以未转染的前列腺肿瘤干细胞为对照。转染后48 h,采用RT-PCR与Western blot实验检测前列腺肿瘤干细胞Id2基因及蛋白的表达;采用MTT法、Transwell小室检测前列腺肿瘤干细胞的增殖和侵袭能力;采用Western blot与RT-PCR检测前列腺肿瘤干细胞上皮标志物E-钙黏蛋白、间质细胞标志物波形蛋白及上皮细胞-间充质转化调控转录因子Twist的表达。
结果与结论:①采用无血清悬浮培养法成功分离出肿瘤干细胞球,第3代前列腺肿瘤干细胞表面标记CD44+CD24-表达率为(85.69±8.96)%,显示培养的肿瘤干细胞球高表达肿瘤干细胞表型;②转染后48 h,shRNA-Id2转染组细胞Id2基因及蛋白表达明显低于未转染组(P < 0.05),显示成功干扰了前列腺肿瘤干细胞Id2表达;③shRNA-Id2转染组前列腺肿瘤干细胞的增殖速度和侵袭能力低于未转染组(P < 0.05);④shRNA-Id2转染组前列腺肿瘤干细胞的上皮标志物E-钙黏蛋白表达高于未转染组(P < 0.05),间质细胞标志物波形蛋白、上皮细胞-间充质转化调控转录因子Twist表达低于未转染组(P < 0.05);⑤结果表明,RNA干扰Id2基因表达可通过调控E-钙黏蛋白、波形蛋白及Twist表达抑制前列腺肿瘤干细胞的增殖及侵袭能力。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The Id2 gene is an endogenous negative regulator of basic helix-loop-helix factor, which is involved in the cell proliferation, differentiation and existence. Id2 also shows functional diversity in the progression and infiltration of different types of tumors
OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of proliferation and invasiveness of PC-3 human prostate cancer stem cells after shRNA-Id2 transfection.
METHODS: PC-3 human prostate cancer stem cells in logarithmic growth phase were harvested to isolate tumor stem cell spheres by serum-free suspension culture. The expression of CD44+CD24- on the surface of tumor stem cells was detected by flow cytometry. The shRNA-Id2 expression vector was constructed and transfected into PC-3 human prostate cancer stem cells. Untransfected PC-3 human prostate cancer stem cells were used as control. At 48 hours after transfection, the expression of Id2 gene and protein in shRNA-Id2 transfected prostate cancer stem cells, NC-shRNA empty vector transfected prostate cancer stem cells and untransfected prostate cancer stem cells were detected by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. The proliferation and invasion of shRNA-Id2 transfected prostate cancer stem cells and untransfected prostate cancer stem cells were detected by MTT assay and Transwell chamber, respectively. The expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and Twist were detected by western blot and RT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Tumor stem cell spheres were successfully isolated by the serum-free suspension culture. The expression rate of CD44+CD24- on the surface of the third-generation PC-3 human prostate cancer stem cells was (85.69±8.96)%, indicating that the cultured tumor stem cell spheres overexpressed the phenotype of tumor stem cells. At 48 hours after transfection, the expression of Id2 gene and protein was significantly lower in the shRNA-Id2 transfection group than the non-transfection group (P < 0.05), indicating that the expression of Id2 was successfully interfered with the expression of PC-3 prostate cancer stem cells. The invasive ability of the cells in the shRNA-Id2 transfection group was significantly lower than that in the non-transfection group (P < 0.05). Western blot and RT-PCR detection showed that the expression of E-cadherin, an epithelial marker of PC-3 prostate cancer stem cells, in the shRNA-Id2 transfection group was significantly higher than that in non-transfection group (P < 0.05), while the expression of vimentin, a marker of mesenchymal stem cells, and Twist, a transcription factor regulating cell-mesenchymal transformation, in the shRNA-Id2 transfection group was significantly lower than that in the non-transfection group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that RNA interference with Id2 gene can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of PC-3 prostate cancer stem cells by regulating the expression of E-cadherin, vimentin and Twist.
