摘要:

目的 观察慢病毒介导的shRNA沉默肝再生磷酸酶-3(PRL-3)基因对肺癌A549细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭的影响及其对上皮间质转化(EMT)信号通路的调控。方法 将携带PRL-3 shRNA的慢病毒载体转染肺癌A549细胞,建立稳定沉默PRL-3的肺癌细胞株。将细胞分为空白对照组、NC shRNA组(阴性对照组)和PRL-3 shRNA组(PRL-3抑制RNAi慢病毒组)。CCK-8法、平板克隆形成实验、Transwell和侵袭小室实验分别检测各组细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。实时荧光定量PCR检测转染后上皮钙黏素(E-cadherin)、Snail mRNA的相对表达水平。结果 稳定沉默PRL-3的细胞株构建成功,PRL-3 shRNA组PRL-3基因敲减效率达到83.5%。CCK-8法检测A549细胞增殖能力,空白对照组、NC shRNA组和PRL-3 shRNA组24 h吸光度(A)值分别为0.296±0.008、0.342±0.007、0.292±0.004,差异具有统计学意义(F=106.300,P<0.001),PRL-3 shRNA组明显低于NC shRNA组(P<0.001);转染后48、72、96 h,PRL-3 shRNA组细胞增殖能力也明显受到抑制。克隆形成实验结果显示,空白对照组、NC shRNA组、PRL-3 shRNA组细胞集落形成数分别为(166.7±6.7)个、(158.0±6.1)个、(119.7±1.5)个(F=67.290,P<0.001),PRL-3 shRNA组细胞克隆形成能力较NC shRNA组显著下降(P<0.001)。空白对照组、NC shRNA组和PRL-3 shRNA组迁移细胞数分别为(100.0±1.9)个、(98.8±1.9)个和(44.6±7.6)个(F=430.300,P<0.001),PRL-3 shRNA组细胞迁移能力明显低于NC shRNA组(P<0.001);3组侵袭细胞数分别为(117.7±4.1)个、(113.1±6.6)个和(55.6±8.4)个(F=247.200,P<0.001),PRL-3 shRNA组细胞侵袭能力明显低于NC shRNA组(P<0.001)。实时荧光定量PCR检测结果显示,沉默PRL-3表达后,A549细胞中E-cadherin mRNA相对表达水平显著上调,Snail mRNA水平显著下调。结论 沉默PRL-3表达可抑制A549细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力,PRL-3可能通过EMT途径影响肺癌细胞的侵袭。

Abstract:

Objective To observe the effects of lentivirus-mediated shRNA silencing of PRL-3 gene on the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer A549 cells and regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway. Methods Lung cancer A549 cells were transfected with lentiviral interference vector carrying PRL-3 shRNA to build a stable PRL-3-silencing cell line. The cells were divided into blank control group, NC shRNA group (negative control group) and PRL-3 shRNA group (PRL-3 inhibiting RNAi lentivirus group). CCK-8 method, colony formation assay, Transwell and invasion chamber assay were performed to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of A549 cells respectively. The expressions of E-cadherin and Snail mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results The stable PRL-3-silencing cell line was successfully constructed. The knockdown efficiency of PRL-3 gene in the PRL-3 shRNA group reached 83.5%. CCK-8 method detected the proliferation ability of A549 cells, and the results showed the 24 h absorbance (A) values of A549 cells in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 0.296±0.008, 0.342±0.007 and 0.292±0.004, with a statistically significant diffe-rence (F=106.300, P<0.001), and the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than the NC shRNA group (P<0.001); at 48, 72, 96 h after transfection, the cell proliferation abilities of the PRL-3 shRNA group were also significantly inhibited. Colony formation assay showed that the numbers of colony formation in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 166.7± 6.7, 158.0±6.1 and 119.7±1.5 (F=67.290, P<0.001). The ability of colony formation of the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group (P<0.001). The numbers of migrated cells in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 100.0±1.9, 98.8±1.9 and 44.6±7.6 (F=430.300, P<0.001). The migration ability of the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group (P<0.001). The numbers of invaded cells in the three groups were 117.7±4.1, 113.1±6.6 and 55.6±8.4 (F=247.200, P<0.001). The invasion ability of the PRL-3shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group (P<0.001). Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection results showed that after silencing the expression of PRL-3, the relative expression level of E-cadherin mRNA in A549 cells was significantly up-regulated, and the level of Snail mRNA was significantly down-regulated. Conclusion PRL-3 silencing can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells effectively. PRL-3 may affect the invasion of lung cancer cells through the EMT pathway.
