目的探讨D5 Stat5a对人类前列腺癌细胞增殖的影响及其对胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白7(IGFBP-7)表达的影响。方法常规培养人前列腺癌细胞(DU145及PC3),并随机分为四组:对照组及三个实验组。对照组以不含外源基因的腺病毒感染,三个实验组细胞则以携带D5 Stat5a cDNA的腺病毒感染,其病毒感染增殖活性(MOI)依次为10、20及30。四组细胞均在培养液中加入催乳素(50 ng/m L)以启动细胞信号转导。运用MTS方法检测细胞增殖;实时定量PCR检测抑癌基因IGFBP-7及EZH2 mRNA水平;染色质免疫共沉淀技术(ChIP)检测IGFBP-7基因启动子区域组蛋白甲基化程度;蛋白质印迹法检测IGFBP-7蛋白表达。结果携带D5 Stat5a cDNA的腺病毒感染能够呈剂量依赖式地促进前列腺癌细胞(DU145及PC3)增殖。如PC3细胞,对照组细胞的相对活细胞数为(1.362±0.018),三个实验组相对活细胞数分别为(1.453±0.022)(P〉0.05)、(1.649±0.020)(P〈0.05)及(1.829±0.027)(P〈0.05)。实时定量PCR及蛋白印迹证明D5 Stat5a过表达明显下调IGFBP-7的表达。DU145及PC3对照组细胞IGFBP-7 mRNA相对值分别为(0.796±0.023)及(0.871±0.046),而感染携带D5 Stat5a cDNA的腺病毒(MOI 30)后,其IGFBP-7 mRNA相对值则分别下降到(0.148±0.019)(P〈0.01)及(0.078±0.021)(P〈0.01)。染色质免疫共沉淀分析(ChIP-Assay)证实,D5 Stat5a导致IGFBP-7基因启动子区域组蛋白甲基化(H3K27Me3)水平显著上升。DU145细胞对照组与实验组,其沉淀DNA比例分别为(0.0176±0.0030)%及(0.0650±0.0099)%,两者差异有高度统计学意义(P〈0.01)。此外,实时定量PCR检测表明,D5 Stat5a引起组蛋白甲基转移酶EZH2 mRNA大幅上升。DU145细胞对照组及D5 Stat5a感染组相对mRNA水平分别为(0.0033±0.0004)及(0.0160±0.0035),两组比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论转录因子D5 Stat5a能够显
Objective To clarify the effect of D5 Stat5 a on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7(IGFBP-7).Methods Prostate cancer cells(DU145 and PC3) were randomly divided into four groups:control and three experimental groups.The cells were infected with adenovirus carrying or not carrying(Con) D5 Stat5 a cDNA at MOI 10,20 and 30 respectively for 120 min and cultured in the presence of prolactin(50 ng/m L) for further 48 h.The relative viable cell number was determined by MTS assay.Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to examine the expression of IGFBP-7.Chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP) assay was also applied to examine the effect of D5 Stat5 a on the trimethylation of histone 3 of IGFBP-7 gene promoter region.Results Adenovirus(carrying D5 Stat5a) infection induced proliferation of prostate cancer c ells in a dose-dependant manner.Taking PC3 as example,the relative viable cell number was(1.362±0.018) in control cells,while infection with adenovirus carrying D5 Stat5 a cDNA at MOI 10,20 or 30 increased the relative vialble cell number to(1.453 ±0.022)(P〈0.05),(1.649±0.020)(P〈0.05)and(1.829±0.027)(P〈0.05),respectively.q RT-PCR showed that the relative IGFBP-7 m RNA amounts were(0.796±0.023) and(0.871±0.046) in DU145 and PC3 control cells respectively,however,they decreased to(0.148±0.019)(P〈0.01) and(0.078±0.021)(P〈0.01) in DU145 and PC3 cells infected with virus carrying D5 Stat5 a cDNA at MOI 30,respectively.Increased trimethylation on histone 3 lysine 27(H3K27Me3) of IGFBP-7 gene promoter region and downregulated IGFBP-7 expression were also found in prostate cancer cells over-expressing D5 Stat5 a including DU145 and PC3 cells.Ch IP assay showed that the percentage of immunoprecipitated DNA in control cells and cells infected with D5 Stat5 a cDNA adenovirus at MOI 30 were(0.0176 ±0.0030)% a
