目的:探讨碳纳米管(CNT)-树形分子递送Survivin反义寡核苷酸(ASOND)进入肝癌细胞HepG2的效率及其对肝癌细胞增殖的影响。方法:制备碳纳米管与PAMAM树形分子复合物,与Survivin反义寡核苷酸组装后,用原子力显微镜(AFM)与凝胶电泳观察碳纳米管-树形分子-反义核苷酸复合物的形态结构;然后将复合物与人肝癌HepG2细胞共培养,同时设立对照,采用透射电镜观察碳纳米管-树形分子-反义核苷酸复合物在细胞中的定位,采用MTT法检测复合物对癌细胞生长的抑制作用。结果:AFM与凝胶电泳分析证实碳纳米管-树形分子-反义核苷酸复合物被成功制备。透射电镜观察证实碳纳米管-树形分子-反义核苷酸复合物位于细胞质。MTT法检测表明,CNT-PAMAM-ASODN浓度为1.0 μmol/L时,即可抑制(45.97±4.28)%的HepG2细胞增殖,而ASODN组和CNT-PAMAM组在此浓度条件下对HepG2细胞的抑制率则分别为(9.33±0.85)%和(6.37±0.69)%;当CNT-PAMAM-ASODN达到1.50 μmol/L时,细胞抑制率为(70.22±7.25)%,而且抑制作用随培养时间的延长与浓度的增加而增强,实验组与对照组之间细胞抑制率存在显著性差异(P<0.01)。结论:碳纳米管一树形分子复合物是一种高效的基因递送载体,能够携带Survivin反义寡核苷酸进入肝癌细胞,并高效抑制HepG2细胞的增殖,显著增强反义寡核苷酸的作用效果。
Objective: To investigate the efficiency of carbon nanotube(CNT) -PAMAM mediated entrance of anti-survivin oligonucleotide into HepG2 cells, and its effects on the proliferation of HepG2 cells. Methods: CNT-PAMAM-antisurvivin oligonucleotide compounds were prepared and characterized by AFM and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. TEM was used to observe the distribution of CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds in HepG2 cells. CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds were added into the medium and co-cultured with HepG2 cells for 24 h, 48 h,72 h, and 96 h at 37℃, 5% CO2. MTT method was used to detect the effects of ASODN and CNT-PAMAM-ASODN on the proliferation of HepG2 cells. Results: CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds were successfully synthesized via AFM and agarose gel electrophoresis. TEM showed that the compounds were located in the cytoplasm. When CNT-PAMAM-ASODN ( 1.0 μmol/L) and ASODN (1.0 μmol/L) were used for a 48 h culture, the inhibitory rates of HepG2 cells were (45.97 ±4.28 ) % for CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds group, (9.33 ± 0.85 ) % for ASODN group, and ( 6.37 ± 0.69) % for CNT-PAMAM group. CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds at 1.5 μmol/L inhibited HepG2 cells by (70.22 ± 7.25 ) %, and the inhibitory effects were in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. There was statistical difference between experiment group and control group ( P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusion : CNT-PAMAM compounds may serve as a gene delivery vector with high efficiency, which can bring survivin ASODN into HepG2 cells, inhibiting HepG2 cell proliferation and markedly enhancing the inhibitory effects of survivin against HepG2 cells.
