摘要:目的 应用siRNA靶向沉默人胰腺癌Capan-2细胞的hTERT基因表达,观察其对凋亡抑制基因(bcl-2)和环氧合酶-2(COX-2)基因表达的影响。方法 应用脂质体Lipofectamine 2000作为基因转染的载体,实时PCR进行扩增检测转染细胞的hTERT、bcl-2、COX-2基因的mRNA表达水平,应用Western blotting检测hTERT、bcl-2、COX-2蛋白表达水平。结果 在hTERT-siRNA完全沉默hTERT表达的基础上,bcl-2、COX-2基因mRNA表达的量在hTERT-siRNA转染后48 h均明显受到抑制(P<0.001),抑制率分别为87.86%、100.00%,但在72 h后均恢复至与对照组相似的水平,而阴性对照组、Lipo对照组与空白对照组的各基因表达量差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。bcl-2、COX-2蛋白水平在转染48 h和72 h后被分别下调了58.54%和63.44%、50.06%和82.77%(P<0.01),Lipo对照组和阴性对照组与空白对照组差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 siRNA靶向沉默hTERT基因表达,可在一定程度上抑制人胰腺癌Capan-2细胞的bcl-2、COX-2基因的表达。

Abstract:Objective To investiate effects of silencing expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene by siRNA targeting to hTERT gene on the expressions of bcl-2,COX-2 genes of Capan-2 cells of human pancreatic cancer in vitro.Methods The media of transfection gene was Lipofectamine 2000.The expressions of hTERT mRNA,COX-2 mRNA and bcl-2 mRNA were tested by realtime PCR,and the control was GAPDH.The expressions of hTERT,COX-2 and bcl-2 proteins were tested by Western blotting,and the control was actin.Results Under the same experiment condition,the inhibited rate of expression of hTERT-mRNA by siRNA was 100%,and the expressions of COX-2,bcl-2 mRNA were inhibited remarkably by transfectation of hTERT-siRNA after 48 hours,and their inhibited rates were 100%,87.86% resprectively(P<0.001),but they recovered the same level as the control after 72 hours.Meanwhile,the expressions of COX-2,bcl-2 proteins were downregulated 50.06% and 82.77%,58.54% and 63.44% after 48 hours and 72 hours resprectively (P<0.01).But no difference among the controls (P>0.05).Conclusions Targing silence to hTERT gene by siRNA,it can inhibit the expressions of COX-2,bcl-2 genes of Capan-2 cells of human pancreatic cancer in vitro in some degree.
