目的探讨小泛素相关修饰蛋白特异性蛋白酶1(SENP1)对脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)增殖、迁移及凋亡的影响。方法用20个感染复数的p LKO.1-SENP1-小发夹RNA(shRNA)-绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)干涉慢病毒(SENP1干涉组)和p PIG-U6-随机序列(scramble)-GFP对照慢病毒(GFP-SC对照组)感染HUVEC。病毒感染HUVEC 48 h后,用流式细胞仪检测慢病毒的感染效率,实时荧光定量PCR(RT-PCR)和Western蛋白质印迹法检测HUVEC内SENP1基因和蛋白表达水平。用CCK8试剂盒检测细胞增殖能力,Transwell小室法检测细胞的迁移能力,流式细胞仪分析细胞凋亡率。结果 GFP-SC对照组和SENP1干涉组感染效率均〉97%。与GFP-SC对照组比较,SENP1干涉组HUVEC SENP1基因和蛋白表达水平显著降低(P〈0.01)。CCK8法测定结果表明,SENP1干涉组HUVEC增殖能力较GFP-SC对照组明显降低(P〈0.01)。SENP1干涉组细胞迁移过Transwell小室的细胞数量明显低于GFP-SC对照组(P〈0.01)。用低浓度血清(含2%胎牛血清)培养基诱导细胞凋亡24 h,SENP1干涉组细胞凋亡率即已升高到GFP-SC对照组的2倍左右(P〈0.05);诱导凋亡至48 h,SENP1干涉组细胞凋亡率升高到对照组的3.2倍左右(P〈0.05)。结论 HUVEC内SENP1表达水平的降低不仅可以显著抑制细胞增殖和迁移能力,亦可促进细胞凋亡。
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of small ubiquitin-related modifier-specific prote- ase 1 (SENP1) on proliferation, migration and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS 20 multiplicity of infection (MOI) pPIG-U6-scramble-green fluorescent protein (GFP) lentivirus (GFP-SC group) and pLKO. 1-SENPI-shRNA-GFP interfering lentivirus (sh-SENP1 group) were used to infect HUVECs. Forty-eight hours after infection, flow cytometry was used to evalu- ate the infection efficiency while real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the gene and protein expression of SENP1 in HUVECs. The effect of sh-SENP1 on migration, proliferation and apopto- sis was examined via Transwell, CCK8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS The infec- tion efficiency of HUVECs in GFP-SC group and sh-SENP1 group was above 97%. Compared with GFP-SC group, interfering SENP1 could significantly decrease the intracellular expression levels of SENP1 gene and protein of HUVECs ( P〈0.01 ). CCK8 assay showed that the proliferation of sh-SENP1 group was significantly decreased compared with GFP-SC group (P〈0.01 ). The cell number of HUVECs in sh-SENP1 group which migrated into the Transwell chamber was significantly smaller than that of GFP-SC group ( P〈0.01 ). After a medium containing 2% fatal bovine serum was used to induce apoptosis for 24 h, the apoptosis rate of sh-SENP1 group was about 2 fold that of GFP-SC group (P〈0.05) and the difference reached 3.2 fold at 48 h ( P〈0.01 ). CONCLUSION Inhibition of SENP1 can not only inhibit the migration and proliferation of HUVECs, but also promote the apoptosis of HUVECs.
