摘要: 目的:检测长链非编码RNA H19(lncRNA H19,H19)和白细胞介素6/信号传导及转录激活蛋白3(IL-6/STAT3)通路在小鼠溃疡性结肠炎相关结直肠癌(CAC)组织中的表达,并探讨其可能的作用机制。方法:22只C57BL/6小鼠随机分为对照组(n=10)和模型组(n=12),模型组小鼠采用氧化偶氮甲烷/葡聚糖硫酸钠(AOM/DSS)联合诱导建立CAC小鼠模型。第120天处死小鼠,评估小鼠疾病活动度(DAI),计算成瘤率,测量结肠长度,HE染色观察小鼠结肠组织病理形态表现,ELISA法检测小鼠血清IL-6水平,qPCR法检测小鼠结肠组织中H19、let-7a、IL-6、STAT3和c-Myc mRNA表达水平,Western blotting法检测小鼠结肠组织中磷酸化STAT3(p-STAT3)和c-Myc蛋白表达水平。结果:与对照组比较,模型组小鼠成瘤率为100%,结肠长度明显缩短(P<0.01),DAI评分增加,HE染色显示结肠组织呈上皮内瘤变,结肠组织中H19、IL-6、STAT3和c-Myc mRNA表达水平均明显升高(P<0.01),let-7a mRNA表达水平明显降低(P<0.01),血清IL-6水平升高(P<0.01),结肠组织中p-STAT3和c-Myc蛋白表达水平明显升高(P<0.01)。结论:小鼠CAC的发病可能与IL-6/STAT3通路介导的c-Myc和H19表达上调及let-7a表达下调有关。

Abstract: Objective: To detect the expressions of lncRNA H19(H19) and IL-6/STAT3 pathway in the ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC) tissue of the mice, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: A total of 22 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group(n=10) and model group(n=12). The CAC models were induced by azomethane(AOM) combined with dextran sodium sulfate(DSS) in the mice in model group. The mice were sacrificed on the 120th day, the disease activity index(DAI) of the mice was evaluated, the tumor formation rate was evaluated,the colon length was measured, and the pathomorphology of colon tissue of the mice was observed by HE staining. The serum IL-6 level of the mice was detected by ELISA.The expression levels of H19, let-7a, IL-6, STAT3 and c-Myc mRNA in colon tissue of the mice were detected by qPCR method.The expression levels of p-STAT3 and c-Myc proteins in colon tissue of the mice were detected by Western blotting method. Results: Compared with control group, the tumor formation rate of the mice in model group was 100%, the colon length was significantly shortened (P<0.01), the DAI score was increased (P<0.01), the colon tissue showed the intraepithelial neoplasia by HE staining,the expression levels of H19, IL-6, STAT3 and c-myc mRNA in colon tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01), the expression level of let-7a mRNA in colon tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.01), the serum IL-6 level was increased (P<0.01), and the expression levels of p-STAT3 and c-Myc proteins in colon tissue were increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: The pathogenesis of CAC in the mice may be related to the up-regulation of c-Myc and H19 and down-regulation of let-7a, which are mediated by IL-6/STAT3 pathway.
