【摘要】 目的探讨alpha bcrystallin 基因在结肠癌组织中的表达及其与结肠癌临床病理的相关性。方法采用rtpcr方法检测64例结肠癌组织及其癌旁正常组织中alpha bcrystallin 基因的表达,计算其阳性率;并用western blot方法检测结肠癌组织及其癌旁正常组织中alpha bcrystallin蛋白的表达变化。结果alpha bcrystallin mrna在结肠癌组织中表达的阳性率明显高于癌旁正常组织(p<0.01),在发生浆膜外转移者的表达阳性率明显高于浆膜内者(p<0.05),在较大肿瘤者中的表达阳性率明显高于较小肿瘤者,在有淋巴结转移者中的表达阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移者(p<0.05),但与患者的性别、年龄、肿瘤的分化程度无关(p>0.05)。alpha bcrystallin蛋白在结肠癌组织中表达明显高于癌旁正常组织(p<0.01)。结论alpha bcrystallin基因的高表达可能与结肠癌的发生及侵袭转移有关。

1.3rtpcr按照试剂盒的操作说明提取总rna,取50mg组织至2ml匀浆器中,加入1ml trizol试剂,匀浆,将匀浆后的液体转入1.5ml微量离心管中,加入0.2ml氯仿,振荡15sec,静置2min。4℃离心,12000r/min ×10min,将上层水相移至一新的1.5ml离心管中。加入0.5ml异丙醇,轻轻混匀,室温静置10min。4℃离心,15000r/min×10min,弃上清。加入1ml 75%乙醇,轻轻洗涤沉淀。4℃离心,10000g×5min,弃上清。晾干,加入20μl的depc水溶解(65℃促溶10~15min)。在20μl的反应体积中加入2.0μl总rna,置于37℃孵箱中反应1h,接着95℃灭活5min,再立即冰浴,-20℃备用。然后进行pcr扩增,在25μl pcr反应体系中加入cdna 5μl,扩增条件为:94℃,预变性3min;94℃,变性45sec;57℃,退火45sec;72℃,延伸45sec。循环30次。最后72℃延伸10min,经1.5%琼脂糖凝胶电泳鉴定pcr产物。分别取5μl pcr 产物,1.5%琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测,对凝胶进行灰度扫描及照相,出现288bp条带即为alpha bcrystallin阳性,内参gapdh(甘油醛3磷酸脱氢酶)片段大小为449bp。
1.4总蛋白提取及westernblot免疫印迹用ripa 裂解液裂解组织样品,提取总蛋白,用bca法测蛋白浓度,在每一个病例样品中取10μg混合作为结肠癌组织蛋白样品,癌旁正常组织蛋白样品也是由每一个癌旁蛋白样品分别取10μg混合而成。制备12% sdspage,每条泳道加总蛋白量50μg,进行电泳,经湿转印到pvdf膜上(amresco 公司,美国),5% bsatbst 常温下封闭1h,分别加入alpha bcrystallin山羊抗人多克隆抗体( 1∶1000稀释) 及gapdh 鼠抗人单克隆抗体(1∶300稀释),4℃孵育过夜,然后加入hrp 标记的兔抗山羊igg (1∶1000稀释)和hrp 标记的兔抗鼠多克隆抗体(1∶1000稀释),37℃孵育1h,tbst洗涤,ecl化学发光试剂自显影。alpha bcrystallin相对含量用alpha bcrystallin/gapdh 灰度比值表示(灰度用伯乐公司的quantity one软件分析)。每组重复3次。
1.5统计学方法 采用stata 7.0统计软件,进行χ2检验或t检验,p<0.05为有统计学意义。
2结果
rtpcr产物经1.5%琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测见一特异扩增条带,其分子量大小与预期结果(288bp)相符,结果见图1。alpha bcrystallin mrna在结肠癌组织中表达见表1。即alpha bcrystallin 基因在结肠癌组织中表达阳性率明显高于正常组织(p<0.01),在发生浆膜外转移者的表达阳性明显高于浆膜内转移者(p<0.05),在较大肿瘤者中的表达阳性率明显高于较小肿瘤者,在有淋巴结转移者中的表达阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移者(p<0.05),但与患者性别、年龄及肿瘤的分化程度无关(p>0.05)。
还可通过结合caspase3前体的活化中间产物p24,并阻止p24的进一步自体水解活化,从而抑制caspase9(线粒体通路)和caspase8(死亡受体通路)对caspase3的激活,起到抗凋亡的作用[35];另外还可通过阻止ras的激活抑制erk1/2的活性,从而大大减轻ca2+诱导引起的凋亡作用[11]。通过rnai技术消除alpha bcrystallin以后,细胞对凋亡十分敏感[12]。最近研究资料显示alpha bcrystallin与多种肿瘤的发生相关。本研究发现alpha bcrystallin mrna在结肠癌组织中表达阳性率明显高于正常组织,alpha bcrystallin蛋白在结肠癌组织的中的表达明显高于癌旁正常组织,与alpha bcrystallin在其他肿瘤中的研究结果一致[710]。可能是由于alpha bcrystallin可以阻断细胞凋亡的信号传递,抑制了细胞的凋亡,从而有利于肿瘤的形成;本研究发现alpha bcrystallin在较大肿瘤者中的表达阳性率明显高于较小肿瘤者,在有淋巴结转移者中的表达阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移者(p<0.05),可能是由于alpha bcrystallin的表达抑制肿瘤细胞的凋亡,使肿瘤细胞进一步恶性增殖,从而使肿瘤不断增大;敲除alpha bcrystallin基因后,发现caspase3的活性明显增强,凋亡广泛,超微结构显示肿瘤血管明显少于野生型[12 13]。据此,我们可以推测alpha bcrystallin在结肠癌中也起到抑制肿瘤血管内皮细胞凋亡的作用,从而促进肿瘤血管的形成,使肿瘤的血供丰富,这样有利于肿瘤的进一步增大,同时可能也增加了肿瘤细胞侵润和转移的机会,这与本实验的结果相符。另外,我们发现alpha bcrystallin在发生浆膜外转移者的表达阳性明显高于浆膜内转移者。moyano等[8]体外研究发现alpha bcrystallin在乳腺癌中高表达可增加乳腺癌细胞的转移和浸润。由此我们可以推测alpha bcrystallin在结肠癌中高表达可能也增加了结肠癌细胞的转移和浸润。以上结果可以提示alpha bcrystallin的高表达在结肠癌的发生发展过程中可能起重要的作用。这或许可以为结肠癌的治疗提供一个潜在的靶标。
