摘要: 目的 探讨半乳糖凝集素3(Gal3)对食管癌Eca109细胞增殖和转移的影响。方法 构建合成Gal3过表达慢病毒质粒转染食管癌Eca109细胞,应用倒置显微镜观察Gal3的过表达质粒转染食管癌细胞后荧光表达;CCK8法检测转染前后细胞增殖能力的变化;用流式细胞术检测转染组细胞和未转染组细胞凋亡率。Transwell方法检测转染前后细胞迁移能力变化;用Western印迹检测Gal3转染前后在食管癌中表达水平变化。结果 Western印迹结果显示Gal3在食管癌细胞中表达,在Eca109/Gal3组中表达水平明显升高(t=14.33,P=0.013;t=10.28, P=0.037)。CCK8法检测发现转染后细胞增殖能力明显升高(t=-17.277,P<0.05;t=-13.4, P<0.05),流式细胞仪以AnnexinV/7AAD双标法显示Eca109/Gal3组凋亡率明显下降(t=3.053,P<0.05;t=5.446, P<0.05)。Transwell实验结果,Eca109/Gal3组细胞转移率高于未转染组(t=3.465,P<0.05; t=3.252, P<0.05)。结论 Gal3在食管癌细胞中有表达,并且其过表达能显著增强食管癌细胞的增殖、侵袭及迁移能力,明显抑制细胞的凋亡,深入研究Gal3可能为食管癌的治疗提供一种新的靶点。

Abstract: Objective To investigate galectin3 on proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer Eca109 cells. Methods A lentiviral vector for overexpression of RNA targeting galectin3 was designed to transfect Eca109 cancer cells following plasmidmediated transfection manual (Eca109/Gal3 cells). Inverted fluorescence microscope was used to observe the expression of EGFP. The proliferation of Eca109 cells was measured by cell counting Kit8 assay. Eca109 cells apoptosis was determined by AnnexinV/7AAD doublestaining. The migration capacity of Eca109 cells was determined in transwell assays. Western blot analysis was used to measure the expression of galectin3 protein. ResultsGalectin3 expression was detected in Eca109 cells, with the Galectin3 expression in Eca109/Gal3 cells much more than nontransfected cells (t=14.33, P<0.05; t=10.28, P=0.037). Compared with nontransfected Eca109 cells, proliferation increased significantly in Eca109/Gal3 cells (t=-17.277, P<0.05; t=-13.4, P<0.05). Galectin3 evidently decreased in Eca109 cell apoptosis (t=3.053, P<0.05; t=5.446, P<0.05). Transwell migration assay showed that a greater number of Eca109/Gal3 cells crossed the artificial basement membrane compared with nontransfected Eca109 cells and negative control Eca109 cells (t=3.465, P<0.05; t=3.252, P<0.05). Conclusion Galectin3 expression is detected in transfected esophageal cancer Eca109 cells, whose overexpression can result in enhanced proliferation, migration, invasion as well as reduced apoptosis. These data indicate that indepth research of galectin3 may prove to be a potential molecular target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
