摘要
[目的]探讨沉默PFKFB3基因对阿帕替尼处理的胃癌细胞凋亡的影响及机制。[方法]通过Western blotting检测人胃黏膜上皮细胞株GES1及SGC-7901、BGC823和MKN45胃癌细胞PFKFB3蛋白表达。将PFKFB3特异性siRNA(si-PFKFB3)转染SGC-7901细胞,Western blotting检测转染效果。MTT法检测转染siPFKFB3或不同浓度(10、20、30、40μmol/L)阿帕替尼处理SGC-7901细胞48h的细胞活力。流式细胞术检测转染si-PFKFB3或/和40μmol/L阿帕替尼处理SGC-7901细胞48h的细胞凋亡率,Western blotting检测Bcl-2、Bax、PI3K、AKT和p-AKT蛋白表达。[结果]与对照GES1细胞相比,PFKFB3在SGC-7901、BGC823和MKN45胃癌细胞中的表达均明显升高(P<0.05)。si-PFKFB3转染SGC-7901细胞后,PFKFB3蛋白表达明显降低(P<0.05)。转染si-PFKFB3及不同浓度阿帕替尼均可抑制SGC-7901细胞活力,阿帕替尼对细胞活力抑制呈现浓度依赖性(P<0.05)。转染si-PFKFB3及阿帕替尼均可诱导SGC-7901细胞凋亡,下调Bcl-2、PI3K和p-AKT表达,上调Bax表达,二者合用对SGC-7901细胞凋亡诱导更明显(P<0.05)。[结论]沉默PFKFB3基因表达可明显增强阿帕替尼对胃癌细胞的凋亡诱导作用,机制可能与下调PI3K/AKT信号通路有关。
[Objective]To investigate the effect and mechanism of silencing PFKFB3 gene on apoptosis of gastric cancer cells treated with apatinib.[Methods]Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of PFKFB3 in human gastric epithelial cell lines GES1 and gastric cancer cells SGC-7901,BGC823 and MKN45.PFKFB3 specific siRNA(si-PFKFB3)was transfected into SGC-7901 cells,and the transfection effect was detected by Western blotting.MTT assay was applied to determine the cell viability of SGC-7901 cells transfected with si-PFKFB3 or treated with apatinib at different concentrations(10,20,30,40μmol/L)for 48 hours.Flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptotic rate of SGC-7901 cells transfected with si-PFKFB3 or/and treated with 40μmol/L apatinib for 48 hours.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2,Bax,PI3 K,AKT and p-AKT proteins.[Results]Compared with the control GES1 cells,the expression levels of PFKFB3 in SGC-7901,BGC823 and MKN45 gastric cancer cells were significantly increased(P<0.05).After transfection with si-PFKFB3,the expression level of PFKFB3 protein in SGC-7901 cells remarkably decreased(P<0.05).Either transfection of si-PFKFB3 or treatment with different concentrations of apatinib inhibited the cell viability of SGC-7901 cells.And apatinib inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner(P <0.05).Knock-down PFKFB3 and treatment with apatinib both induced apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells,down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2,PI3 Kand p-AKT,and up-regulated the expression of Bax.The combination of the two methods was more significantly on inducing apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells(P<0.05).[Conclusion]Silencing the expression of PFKFB3 gene can significantly enhance the apoptotic induction effect of apatinib on gastric cancer,which may be related to down-regulation of PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway.
