摘要:

目的: 探讨乳腺癌细胞系中雌激素受体α(ERα)启动子甲基化状态的改变对其MTA1 mRNA和蛋白表达水平的影响,阐明ERα启动子去甲基化对MTA1基因表达的作用。方法: 用去甲基化药物5-Aza-dC处理ERα启动子高甲基化状态的MDA-MB-435s和低甲基化状态的MDA-MB-231乳腺癌细胞系为5-Aza-dC处理组,同时设 2种细胞系的未处理组为对照组。甲基化特异性PCR(MSP)法检测各组细胞ERα启动子甲基化状态。Western blotting法检测各组细胞MTA1蛋白表达水平,RT-PCR法检测各组细胞MTA1 mRNA表达水平。结果: 5-Aza-dC逆转了MDA-MB-435s和MDA-MB-231细胞系ERα启动子甲基化状态; MDA-MB-435s乳腺癌细胞系中,与对照组比较,5-Aza-dC处理组MTA1 mRNA及蛋白表达水平均下调(P<0.05);MDA-MB-231乳腺癌细胞系中,与对照组比较,5-Aza-dC处理组MTA1 mRNA及蛋白表达水平亦均下调(P<0.05)。结论: 改变MDA-MB-435s和MDA-MB-231乳腺癌细胞系ERα基因启动子甲基化状态后,MTA1 mRNA和蛋白表达均下降,提示ERα启动子去甲基化后可以下调MTA1基因的表达,二者之间存在调控关系。

Abstract:

Objective To discuss the influence of the changes of estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) promoter methylation in the expression levels of MTA1 mRNA and protein in breast cancer cell lines,and to illustrate the effect of ERα promoter on the expression of MTA1 gene after demethylation. Methods The breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-435s in ERα promoter in hypermethylation status and MDA-MB-231 in ERα promoter in hypomethylation status were treated with 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC) (5-Aza-dc treated groups),while the two kinds of cell lines were without 5-Aza-dC treatment were used as untreated groups.The methylation status of ERα promoter of the cells in various groups was detected by methylation-specific PCR (MSP).The expression levels of MTA1 mRNA and protein in MDA-MB-435s and MDA-MB-231 cells in various groups were detected with RT-PCR and Western blotting method. Results Both in the MDA-MB-435s and the MDA-MB-231 cells,the methylation status of ERα was modified from methylation to unmethylation by being treated with 5-Aza-dC.Furthermore,both in the MDA-MB-435s and the MDA-MB-231,compared with untreated groups,the expression levels of MTA1 mRNA and protein in 5-Aza-dC treated groups were down-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion After the methylation status of ERα promoter is modified from methylation to unmethylation in breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-435s and MDA-MB-231,the expression levels the MTA1 mRNA and protein are down-regulated.It's illustrated the expression of MTA1 can be lowered after ERα promoter demethylation,and the results further verify the regulation of the relationship between ERα methylation and MTA1 gene.
