目的探討MicroRNA-519d(miRNA-519d)對卵巢癌細胞生長抑制的作用及其對XIAP表達的影響。方法
對人卵巢癌細胞系OVCAR3瞬時轉染miR-519d mimic(實驗組)和NC(陰性對照組),不進行任何轉染為空白對照組,轉染48 h后進行MTT實驗、流式細胞實驗、Transwell侵襲實驗,觀察卵巢癌細胞生長抑制狀況,WB實驗測定XIAP的表達變化。結果定量Real-time PCR檢測顯示:miR-519d的表達水平均較對陰性對照組與空白對照組有明顯的增高(P<0.05)。MTT檢測顯示:上調OVCAR3細胞內miR-519d水平后,細胞增殖抑制率為(29.81±8.24)%,而陰性照組與空白對照組分別為(2.49±0.28)%和(1.98±0.34)%,對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。流式細胞術檢測顯示實驗組OVCAR3細胞凋亡率為(8.33±1.39)%,而陰性對照組與空白對照組分別為(2.13±2.11)%和(1.89±1.08)%,對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。Transwell侵襲實驗顯示:轉染miR-519dmimics后實驗組、陰性對照組、空白對照組的三組的細胞轉移能力對比無明顯差異(P>0.05)。Western實驗結果顯示:處理后實驗組的XIAP蛋白相對表達量為(0.98±0.34),陰性對照組為(7.54±1.22),空白對照組為(7.67±1.32),對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。結論增強miR-519d的表達能對卵巢癌細胞的增殖起抑制作用,并促進其凋亡,而對卵巢癌細胞的轉移沒有影響,能抑制XIAP的表達,表明miR-519d在卵巢癌的生長中起到一定的抑制作用。

上皮性卵巢癌(epithelialovariancancer,EOC)是卵巢癌中最常見的類型,浸潤、轉移、擴散是死亡的主要原因[1-2]。且卵巢癌發病隱匿,大于2/3的患者出現癥狀時已經屬于晚期,為此對于治療的要求比較高[3]。在傳統治療中,腫瘤細胞減滅術和以鉑類化療藥物為主的聯合化療應用比較多,但易復發,使得患者5年生存率大大下降[4]。miRNA通過堿基配對與靶mRNA序列的3’非翻譯區或編碼區結合,促進目標mRNA降解或抑制蛋白翻譯,調控靶基因的表達[5]。miRNA在腫瘤中的表達與其他腫瘤相似,卵巢癌也有其特異的miRNA表達譜,可調節卵巢癌的生長、侵襲和轉移[6-7]。MicroRNA-519d(miR-519d)是在人類組織或細胞中發現較早、廣泛存在的miRNAs之一[8-9],但是在卵巢癌的應用報道還比較少見。XIAP連鎖凋亡抑制蛋白作為凋亡抑制蛋白(IAPs)家族的一個重要成員,在多數腫瘤中呈現高表達狀況[10]。本文具體探討了miRNA-519d對卵巢癌的生長抑制作用及其對XIAP的表達影響,現報告如下。
1.1 實驗材料
人卵巢癌細胞OVCAR3(上皮性卵巢癌)購于中國科學院典型培養物保藏委員會上海細胞庫,培養體系為RPMI-1640培養基+10%胎牛血清培養條件為37 ℃、5%CO2、飽和濕度培養。
1.2 細胞培養
待OVCAR3細胞密度至80%~90%時,用0.25%的胰酶與0.02%EDTA進行消化傳代,繼續培養,取對數生長期的腫瘤細胞進行實驗。
1.3 瞬時轉染miR-519d
根據lipofectamine2000的轉染試劑盒的說明書,對人卵巢癌細胞系OVCAR3瞬時轉染miR-519d mimic(實驗組)和NC(陰性對照組),不進行任何轉染為空白對照組,具體步驟如下:將5 μl的miR-519d mimic及陰性對照分別加入250 μl的無血清培養基液中。將5 μl的lipofectamine2000加入到250 μl的無血清培養基液中;將上述液體混勻,室溫放置20 min。各孔加入無血清培養基1 ml,再加入混懸液500 μl進行細胞培養。在轉染細胞的鑒定中,分別從實驗組、陰性對照組、空白對照組細胞中提取RNA,采用RT-PCR進行miR-519d的表達量的測定。
1.4 MTT實驗
取轉染后48 h的細胞,調整實驗組、陰性對照組、空白對照組細胞密度為2×104個/ml,接種于96孔板,接種后48 h進行MTT檢測。每孔加入20 μl的MTT,使其終濃度為0.5 mg/ml。37 ℃孵育4~6 h,570 nm處測定吸光度,計算細胞存活率與細胞增殖抑制率。
1.5 流式細胞實驗
將細胞胰酶消化后接種于6孔板中,待細胞密度至30%時,轉染miR-519d mimics作用48 h。采用100 μl FITC-Annexin與binding buffer懸浮細胞,每組加Annexin V-FITC 5 μl和PI 5 μl,混勻避光。流式細胞儀上機檢測,檢測細胞凋亡情況。
1.6 Transwell侵襲實驗
取轉染后48 h的細胞,調整實驗組、陰性對照組、空白對照組細胞密度為3×105個/ml,取細胞懸液200 μl加入Transwell小室上室。24孔板下室加入550 μl含10%FBS的培養基進行培養,37 ℃孵育36 h,PBS洗細胞3次,3.7%的甲醛固定10 min,結晶紫染色5 min,顯微鏡下計算每個視野的平均細胞數量。
1.7 XIAP的基因及蛋白表達
采用RIPA裂解液提取細胞總蛋白,BCA法定量。取100 μg總蛋白行10%SDS-PAGE電泳,將蛋白轉移到PVDF膜上,用5%脫脂奶封閉1h后,與XIAP一抗(1∶500,Abcam)4 ℃孵育過夜;常規進行二抗雜交、洗膜、ECL顯影,實驗以β-actin為內參,計算XIAP蛋白的相對表達量。所有實驗重復3次。
1.8 統計學方法
2.1 轉染miR-519d mimics后細胞的miR-152水平過表達
對人卵巢癌細胞系OVCAR3轉染miR-519d mimics 48 h后,定量Real-time PCR檢測,結果發現miR-519d的表達水平均較陰性對照組與空白對照組有明顯的增高(P<0.05),見表1。

注:與實驗組對比,△為P<0.05。
2.2 轉染miR-519d mimics對卵巢癌細胞增殖的影響
在OVCAR3細胞中轉染miR-519d mimics 48 h后,應用MTT檢測顯示上調OVCAR3細胞內miR-519d水平后,細胞增殖抑制率為(29.81±0.24)%,而陰性對照組與空白對照組分別為(2.49±0.28)%和(1.98±0.34)%,對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。
2.3 轉染miR-519d mimics對卵巢癌細胞凋亡作用的影響
在卵巢癌細胞中轉染miR-519d mimics 48 h后,流式細胞術檢測顯示實驗組OVCAR3細胞凋亡率為(8.33±1.39)%,而陰性對照組與空白對照組分別為(1.13±2.11)%和(1.89±1.08)%,對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。
2.4 轉染miR-519d mimic對卵巢癌細胞侵襲的影響
轉染miR-519d mimics后,觀察實驗組、陰性對照組、空白對照組在接種后第48 h細胞的轉移能力,發現細胞轉移能力沒有明顯下降(P>0.05)。
2.5 XIAP表達分析
Western實驗結果顯示:處理后實驗組的XIAP蛋白相對表達量為(0.98±0.34),陰性對照組為(7.54±1.22),空白對照組為(7.67±1.32),對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。
現代研究表明腫瘤的發生是1個涉及多種腫瘤基因功能改變的多步驟過程,腫瘤抑制基因的功能失活為細胞的惡性轉化所必須[11-12]。miRNA是1類內源性的非編碼的小分子RNA,miRNA在細胞增殖、免疫反應、凋亡、腫瘤發生及侵襲、轉移、血管生成等各個過程中均發揮了重要的調控作用[13-14]。研究證實,microRNA在細胞增殖、分化、凋亡、基因調控及疾病的發生中扮演重要的角色,iR-222能抑制血管內皮細胞的增殖和遷移,miR-23、miR-27b和miR-130a能促血管生成,miR-155、miR-21和miR-126參與血管炎癥的調控[15-16]。
研究顯示卵巢癌組織中有35個miRNA的表達與正常對照標本相比有統計學差異,其中31個miRNA呈現低表達[17]。有研究發現了miR-10b參與乳腺癌的侵襲和轉移過程,其表達量的增加可以特異性的增強腫瘤細胞的侵襲轉移能力[18]。miR-519d具有調控細胞增殖的功能,敲除小鼠miR-519d基因簇會引起心臟、肺的發育缺陷,從而導致新生小鼠致死率,但是miR-519d在腫瘤的浸潤和轉移過程中的具體作用機制尚不清楚[19]。因此我們選取卵巢瘤細胞系OVCAR3,通過過表達miR-519d的功能研究其對卵巢癌細胞的增殖及轉移能力的影響。實時定量RT-PCR檢顯示過表達miR-519d后,miR-519d的表達水平隨之升高;MTT實驗結果證明,過表達miR-519d 48 h能影響細胞的活性,對細胞長期的增殖能力有抑制作用,且能促進細胞凋亡。但是miR-519d促進OVCAR3增殖及轉移的靶基因以及調控機制仍需進一步研究。
腫瘤的轉移過程是原發性腫瘤細胞浸潤鄰近組織、進入體循環,然后最終由微小轉移灶增殖成為繼發性腫瘤的過程。盡管已經證明一些miRNA具有癌基因或者抑癌基因的功能,但是miRNA在介導腫瘤轉移的研究還有待研究[20]。有研究發現miR-519d不僅具有癌基因的功能,還與腫瘤的侵襲和轉移功能密切相關[21]。有研究表明磷酸化的XIAP能發揮泛素連接酶的功能,通過直接結合Mdm2,最終導致細胞質中p53蛋白水平的升高,介導Mdm2的快速降解,以此來抑制細胞自噬[21-22]。本研究發現轉染miR-519d mimics后,細胞轉移能力沒有明顯下降(P>0.05),表明miR-519d對于腫瘤細胞的生長調控作用可能與侵襲及轉移過程無關。Western實驗結果顯示處理后實驗組的XIAP蛋白相對表達量為(0.98±0.34),陰性對照組為(7.54±1.22),空白對照組為(7.67±1.32),對比差異有統計學意義(P<0.05),表明miR-519d的應用能抑制XIAP的表達。
總之,增加miR-519d的表達能對卵巢癌細胞的增殖起抑制作用,并促進其凋亡,而對卵巢癌細胞的轉移沒有影響,能抑制XIAP的表達,表明miR-519d在卵巢癌的生長中起到一定的抑制作用。
