摘要: 目的 探讨Wnt通路抑制剂IWR-1-endo对人肝癌细胞Huh7生物学行为的影响及作用机制。 方法 体外培养人肝癌细胞Huh7,采用不同浓度(0、20、40、80、160、320 μmol/L)IWR-1-endo作用于Huh7细胞。采用划痕实验检测不同药物浓度下细胞迁移能力的变化;平板克隆实验检测细胞的增殖变化;蛋白质印迹法检测Wnt通路相关蛋白β-catenin表达的改变;免疫荧光染色检测β-catenin在细胞质和细胞核的表达情况。 结果 划痕实验结果显示,0、20、40、80、160、320 μmol/L浓度的IWR-1-endo处理Huh7细胞24 h划痕愈合率分别为(20.55±0.05)%、(12.10±0.08)%、(9.36±0.10)%、(3.62±0.09)%、(0.62±0.04)%、(0.23±0.02)%,差异有统计学意义(F=230.87,P<0.001);进一步两两比较,各浓度间24 h划痕愈合率差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。48 h划痕愈合率分别为(34.77±0.08)%、(17.69±0.05)%、(11.60±0.04)%、(5.68±0.07)%、(2.66±0.04)%、(1.75±0.02)%,差异有统计学意义(F=589.68,P<0.001);进一步两两比较,各浓度间48 h划痕愈合率差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。经0、20、40、80、160、320 μmol/L浓度的IWR-1-endo处理肝癌Huh7细胞后,克隆形成率分别为(61.67±0.21)%、(57.33±0.11)%、(50.00±0.25)%、(36.67±0.28)%、(23.33±0.12)%、(15.00±0.08)%,差异有统计学意义(F=403.56,P<0.001);进一步两两比较,各浓度间的克隆形成率差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。经0、20、40、80、160 μmol/L浓度的IWR-1-endo处理Huh7细胞24 h后,β-catenin的相对表达量分别为0.30±0.08、0.25±0.07、0.22±0.05、0.15±0.01、0.06±0.02,差异有统计学意义(F=247.00,P<0.001);与0 μmol/L相比,80、160 μmol/L浓度处理后的β-catenin的相对表达量差异均有统计学意义(P=0.014;P=0.008)。免疫荧光染色结果显示,与0 μmol/L相比,80 μmol/L IWR-1-endo处理后,Huh7细胞质和细胞核中的β-catenin表达均减少。结论Wnt通路抑制剂IWR-1-endo可通过抑制Wnt通路的活性抑制肝癌细胞Huh7的迁移和增殖,抑制作用均呈现剂量依赖性。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Wnt pathway inhibitor IWR-1-endo on the biological behaviors of human hepatocarcinoma cell Huh7. Methods Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell Huh7 was cultured in vitro, and Huh7 cells were treated with IWR-1-endo at different concentrations (0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μmol/L). Scratch test was used to detect changes in cell migration ability at diffe-rent drug concentrations, plate cloning was used to detect changes in cell proliferation, Western blotting was used to detect changes in the expression of Wnt pathway related protein β-catenin, and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of β-catenin in cytoplasm and nucleus. Results The results of the scratch test showed that the 24 h scratch healing rates of Huh7 cells treated with 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μmol/L IWR-1-endo were (20.55±0.05)%, (12.10±0.08)%, (9.36±0.10)%, (3.62±0.09)%, (0.62±0.04)% and (0.23±0.02)%, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (F=230.87, P<0.001). Further pair comparison showed that there were statistically significant differences in 24 h scratch healing rates among different concentrations (all P<0.001). The 48 h scratch healing rates were (34.77±0.08)%, (17.69±0.05)%, (11.60±0.04)%, (5.68±0.07)%, (2.66±0.04)% and (1.75±0.02)%, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (F=589.68, P<0.001). Further pair comparison showed that there were statistically significant differences in 48 h scratch healing rates among different concentrations (all P<0.001). After treatment with IWR-1-endo at the concentration of 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μmol/L, the clone formation rates of Huh7 cells were (61.67±0.21)%, (57.33±0.11)%, (50.00±0.25)%, (36.67±0.28)%, (23.33±0.12)% and (15.00±0.08)%, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (F=403.56, P<0.001). Further pair comparison showed that there were statistically significant differences in clone formation rates among different concentrations (all P<0.001). After treatment with 0, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μmol/L IWR-1-endo for 24 h, the relative expression levels of β-catenin in Huh7 cells were 0.30±0.08, 0.25±0.07, 0.22±0.05, 0.15±0.01 and 0.06±0.02, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (F=247.00, P<0.001). Compared with 0 μmol/L, the relative expression levels of β-catenin treated with 80 and 160 μmol/L had statistical significance (P=0.014; P=0.008). Compared with 0 mol/L, immunofluorescence showed that the expressions of β-catenin in cytoplasm and nucleus were reduced after 80 μmol/L IWR-1-endo treatment. Conclusion Wnt pathway inhibitor IWR-1-endo can inhibit the migration and proliferation of hepatocarcinoma cells Huh7 by inhibiting the activity of Wnt pathway. The above inhibitory effects are dose-dependent.
