目的:通过体外实验,研究白藜芦醇对宫颈癌细胞表皮生长因子(Epidermal growth factor,EGF)表达的影响。探讨白藜芦醇对宫颈癌侵袭影响的作用机制。方法:采用Transwell侵袭系统,检测白黎芦醇对宫颈癌HeLa细胞侵袭能力的影响;扫描电子显微镜,观察白藜芦醇对肿瘤细胞伪足形态的影响;RT—PCR、Westemblot法了解白藜芦醇对HeLa细胞EGFmRNA及蛋白表达的影响。结果:Transwell侵袭实验结果表明,白藜芦醇lmM、0.5mM两组平均穿过的细胞数分别为9.20±1.924,10.20±2.049与空白对照组及溶剂对照组(平均穿过的细胞数分别为39.80±2.387,39.00±3.808)相比。明显减少(P〈0.05)。RT-PCR及Westernblot结果表明,白藜芦醇能够明显降低宫颈癌细胞EGFn1RNA及蛋白表达水平。同时,扫描电子显微镜观察到,经白藜芦醇作用后,HeLa细胞逐渐由多角形向圆形转变,周围生长出的片层状、不规则的伪足结构(包括板状伪足和丝状伪足)逐渐减少,伪足变短变细,且断裂增多。结论:白藜芦醇能够有效降低宫颈癌细胞EGFmRNA及蛋白的表达水平,进而对肿瘤细胞侵袭转移所必需的细胞装配-伪足结构的形成数量和质量产生影响。白藜芦醇通过此作用机制达到对宫颈癌细胞侵袭的抑制作用。
Objective: To investigate the effect of resveratrol on the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and to identify the effect of resveratrol on the invasion of cervical cancer in vitro. Methods: The effect of resveratrol on invasive ability of HeLa cells was observed with a Transwell cell culture chamber. Changes in parapodium structure were observed with scanning electron microscopy. EGF mRNA and protein expression in HeLa cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results: In the Transwell cell culture chambers, the average number of invading HeLa cells was 9.20±1.924 in the group with lmM resveratrol and 10.20±2.049 in the group with 0.5mM resveratrol, significantly lower than those in the control group and the DMSO group (39.80±2.387, 39.00±3.808, respectively) (P〈0.05). The levels of EGF mRNA and protein were also decreased after treatment with resveratrol. The parapodium structures of cells cultured with resveratrol appeared to be broken down. Conclusion: Resveratrol can effectively decrease the expression of EGF and then destroy the parapodi- um structures of cervical cancer cells. Through this mechanism, resveratrol can inhibit the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro.
