摘要: 目的:研究降低Smad4表达对乳腺癌MCF-7细胞增殖和凋亡的影响,并探讨其可能的作用机制。方法:体外培养人乳腺癌MCF-7和MDA-MB-231细胞,采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)法检测MCF-7细胞和MDA-MB-231细胞中Smad4 mRNA表达水平;Smad4-shRNA与Scramble-shRNA质粒分别稳定转染Smad4高表达MCF-7细胞,实验分为未转染MCF-7细胞组(正常对照组),采用Smad4基因沉默组和Scramble组(阴性对照组);采用CCK-8法检测各组细胞增殖能力,流式细胞术检测各组细胞凋亡率,实时荧光定量PCR(Real-time PCR)法检测增殖相关基因CDKN1A、CDK1和CDK2以及凋亡相关基因Suvivin、bcl-2、caspase3和caspase9 mRNA表达水平。结果:各组细胞增殖能力比较差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05),各组细胞CDKN1A、CDK1和CDK2 mRNA表达水平比较差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05);与正常对照组和阴性对照组比较,Smad4基因沉默组细胞凋亡率明显降低(P < 0.01),Smad4基因沉默组细胞Suvivin和bcl-2 mRNA表达水平明显升高(P < 0.01),caspase3和caspase9 mRNA表达水平明显降低(P < 0.05)。结论:Smad4可以通过下调Suvivin和bcl-2的表达、上调caspase3和caspase9表达引起细胞凋亡。

Abstract: Objective: To study the effects of down-regulated Smad4 expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, and to explore their mechanisms. Methods: The human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231cells were cultured in vitro. RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression levels of Smad4 mRNA in MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells. The Smad4-shRNA plasmid and Scramble-shRNA plasmid were respectively stably transfected into the MCF-7 cells with high expression of Smad4. The experiment was divided into non-transfected MCF-7 cells (normal control) group,Smad4 gene silencing group, Scramble (negative control)group.The proliferation abilities of the cells in various groups were detected by CCK-8 method. The apoptotic rates of the cells in various groups were detected by flow cytometry. Real-time PCR method was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of the proliferation-related genes CDKN1A, CDK1 and CDK2 and the apoptosis-related genes Suvivin, bcl-2, caspase 3 and caspase 9. Results: The proliferation abilities of cells had no statistical significance between various groups(P>0.05). The mRNA expression levels of CDKN1A, CDK1 and CDK2 in the cells had no statistical significance between various groups (P>0.05).Compared with normal control group and negative control group, the apoptotic rate of the cells in Smad4 gene silencing group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), the expression levels of Suvivin and bcl-2 mRNA in Smad4 gene silencing group were significantly increased(P<0.01), and the mRNA expression levels of caspase 3 and caspase 9 in Smad4 gene silencing group were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Conclusion: Smad4 could induce the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells by down-regulating the expressions of Suvivin and bcl-2 and up-regulating the expressions of caspase 3 and caspase 9.
