摘要
目的探讨丝/苏氨酸蛋白激酶Aurora-A促进鼻咽癌化疗抵抗的机制。方法应用Western blot和Q-PCR检测鼻咽癌组织及癌旁正常组织中Aurora-A的表达水平。选取Aurora-A高表达的鼻咽癌细胞系CNE2,添加Aurora-A激酶抑制剂60nmVX680处理8小时后,加入浓度为10μg/ml的顺铂处理24小时,收集细胞通过流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡情况,同时WB和Q-PCR检测细胞凋亡相关信号通路蛋白的表达情况。结果 Aurora-A在鼻咽癌组织中表达水平明显高于癌旁正常组织,相对于正常鼻咽细胞NP69,Aurora-A在不同鼻咽癌细胞中表达显著升高且在CNE2中表达最高;相对于未处理CNE2,添加顺铂或/和Aurora-A抑制剂VX680处理的CNE2细胞能显著促进鼻咽癌细胞凋亡及p-AKT、p21及Cleaved-Caspase-3的表达。结论 Aurora-A通过p-AKT/p21/Cleaved-Caspase-3通路促进鼻咽癌的化疗抵抗。
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Aurora kinase A(Aurora-A) promoting cancer cell chemotherapy resistance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS The expression of Aurora-A in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues were detected by Western bolt and Q-PCR. The highexpressing Aurora A cell line CNE2 was used to detected the cell apoptosis and the expression of key pathway marker protein after Aurora-A inhibitor VX680 and cisplatin treatment by using Flow cytometry and WB. RESULTS The expression of Aurora-A in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues.Comparing to normal nasopharyngeal cells NP69, Aurora-A was significantly highly expressed in all of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and was highest in CNE2. Inhibiton of Aurora-A increased the cell apoptosis and the expression of p-AKT, p21 and Cleaved-Caspase-3 after using cisplatin or the Aurora-A inhibitor VX680 treatment. CONCLUSION The results shown that Aurora-A confer chemoresistance to cisplatin treatment through p-AKT/p21/Cleaved-Caspase-3 pathway.
