目的:研究组蛋白HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC在培美曲塞诱导的胰腺癌耐药细胞株Puta8988中的基因和蛋白表达水平,以明确HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC基因与胰腺癌耐药的关系。方法:以两种剂量的培美曲塞诱导胰腺癌细胞株Puta8988,使其形成两个等级的获得性耐药细胞株Puta8988+、Puta8988++。采用qRT-PCR和Western blotting方法分别检测HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC在耐药细胞株及其亲本(对照)中的基因和蛋白表达水平。结果:qRT-PCR检测结果显示,组蛋白HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC基因在胰腺癌耐药株Puta8988+和Puta8988++中的表达水平显著上调(P〈0.05);Western blotting检测结果显示,组蛋白HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC在胰腺癌耐药株Puta8988+和Puta8988++中的蛋白表达水平也显著上调(P〈0.05)。结论:胰腺癌细胞株经培美曲塞诱导后,其组蛋白HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC在基因和蛋白表达水平上均出现上调,提示HIST1H2AC和HIST1H2BC基因可能与耐药有关。
Objective: To investigate the expression of HIST1H2AC and HIST1H2BC genes in pancreatic cancer cell line Puta8988 treated with pemetrexed, and to verify the relationship between the genes and pemetrexedresistance. Methods: Pancreatic cancer cell line Puta8988 was treated with two doses of pemetrexed to get Puta8988 + and Puta8988 + + with pemetrexed-resistance, and the expression levels of HIST1H2AC and HIST1H2BC and their genes in Puta8988, Puta8988 + and Puta8988 + + were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results: Results detected by qRT-PCR showed that expression levels of HIST1H2AC and HIST1H2BC genes were significantly up-regulated in Puta8988 + and Puta8988 + + (P 〈 0.05). Results detected by Western blotting showed that expression levels of HIST1H2AC and HIST1H2BC were also significantly upregulated in those cell lines with pemetrexed-resistance (P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusion: Expressions of HIST1 H2AC and HIST1 H2BC and their genes in pancreatic cancer cell line Puta8988 treated with pemetrexed are significantly upregulated, which implies that these genes possibly plays a role in pemetrexed-resistance of pancreatic cancer cell lines.
