摘要:

背景与目的:食管肿瘤严重威胁着人类健康,认识食管癌的发生、发展机制和寻找治疗方法已经成为遏制肿瘤的研究热点。近年来,作为B7免疫球蛋白超家族的新成员,共刺激分子B7-H3在多种肿瘤中异常高表达,被认为可能是一种新的肿瘤标志物和潜在的治疗靶点。本研究旨在检测食管癌细胞株TE-1TE-13Eca-109细胞中B7-H3的表达,并通过靶向干扰B7-H3基因表达来研究B7-H3对食管癌细胞增殖、侵袭等生物学行为的影响。方法:运用逆转录聚合酶链反应(reverse transcription polymerasechain reactionRT-PCR)方法检测B7-H3分子在食管癌细胞TE-1TE-13Eca-109中的表达。通过LipofectamineTM2000体外转染B7-H3 siRNAcontrol siRNA至食管癌Eca-109细胞,采用RT-PCR和蛋白质印迹法(Western blot)检测Eca-109细胞中B7-H3 mRNA和蛋白的表达。采用MTT实验、细胞划痕实验、Transwell侵袭小室实验检测B7-H3 siRNAEca-109细胞增殖能力、平面迁移能力及体外侵袭能力的影响。结果:共刺激分子B7-H3在食管癌细胞TE-1(0.382±0.008)TE-13(0.399±0.008)Eca-109(0.428±0.012)中的表达差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。转染B7-H3 siRNAEca-109细胞B7-H3 mRNA和蛋白表达水平显著低于未转染组(0.128 5±0.000 2 vs 0.540 3±0.001 30.421 4±0.004 8 vs 0.492 1±0.014 8P<0.05)以及空载体转染组(0.128 5±0.000 2 vs 0.532 4±0.000 70.421 4±0.004 8 vs 0.500 6±0.012 9P<0.05)。与对照组细胞相比,转染B7-H3 siRNAEca-109细胞的平面迁移能力和侵袭力明显下降(P<0.05),然而其增殖能力差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)结论:食管癌细胞TE-1TE-13Eca-109均组成性表达B7-H3分子。沉默B7-H3基因表达能明显抑制Eca-109细胞的体外迁移、侵袭能力,提示B7-H3基因可能参与调节食管癌的侵袭转移能力,为免疫治疗提供潜在的治疗靶点。

Abstract:

Background and purpose: Esophageal cancer is a serious disease threatening human health, and it is very difficult to understand the development mechanism and find the therapeutic methods for esophageal cancer. In recent years, B7-H3, as a new member of B7 immunoregulatory superfamily, overexpressed in multiple tumor types, is considered to be a new tumor marker and potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to detect the expression of B7-H3 in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1, TE-13, Eca-109 and exploring the effect of B7-H3 siRNA on cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro in human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cell line. Methods: The expression of B7-H3 in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1, TE-13 and Eca-109 were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). B7-H3 siRNA and control siRNA were transfected in vitro into human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cells using LipofectamineTM 2000. The expressions of B7-H3 mRNA and protein in Eca-109 cells were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of Eca-109 cells were measured by MTT assay, wound scrape assay and transwell invasion assay in vitro, respectively. Results: All tested cultured esophageal cancer cell lines constitutively expressed B7-H3 mRNA under normal conditions (TE-1 0.382±0.008, TE-13 0.399±0.008, Eca-109 0.428±0.012). After transfection, the expression of B7-H3 mRNA levels decreased in B7-H3 siRNA transfected group, compared with control siRNA transfected group (0.128 5±0.000 2 vs 0.532 4±0.000 7, P<0.01) and untransfected group (0.128 5±0.000 2 vs 0.540 3±0.001 3, P<0.01), while its protein expression levels were also significantly lower than the control transfection group (0.421 4±0.004 8 vs 0.500 6±0.012 9, P<0.05) and untransfected group (0.421 4±0.004 8 vs 0.492 1±0.014 8, P<0.05). Compared with control transfected and untransfected cells, Eca-109 cell migration and invasion abilities decreased significantly (P<0.05) by siRNA interference, but no significant difference was observed between their proliferative capacity (P>0.05). Conclusion: All tested esophageal cancer cell lines constitutively express B7-H3 mRNA. B7-H3 siRNA interference inhibits Eca-109 cell migration and invasion abilities. B7-H3 may have a critical role in regulating Eca-109 cell progression.
