目的 探讨人结肠癌细胞系SW480和LOVO细胞株转染胸苷磷酸化酶(TP)基因后转化5′-脱氧氟脲苷(5′-DFUR)为氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)能力的变化及5′-DFUR抗癌细胞株活性的变化.方法 构建包含TP cDNA的真核表达载体,用慢病毒包装后转染结肠癌细胞株SW480和LOVO.转染5代后以免疫荧光法和流式细胞技术检测转染效率;RT-PCR和Western blot法分别检测2株细胞的TP mRNA和TP蛋白表达.然后以高效液相色谱法(HPLC)检测2株细胞转染前后转化5′-DFUR为5-FU的量;MTT法检测5′-DFUR对2株细胞转染前后半数抑制浓度(IC50).结果 转染TP基因后SW480-TP与LOVO-TP 5代细胞转染效率稳定在95%左右.2株转染细胞的TP mRNA表达分别比野生型细胞增加(695±172)倍(t=-7.00,P=0.002)和(282±87)倍(t=-5.61,P=0.030),Western blot显示TP蛋白表达也明显增强.转染后的SW480-TP与LOVO-TP在培养基中分别使5′-DFUR转化为5-FU的量增加(t=19.406 ~66.921,P<0.01).5′-DFUR对SW480的IC50由(1641±53) μmol/L降至(587±17) μmol/L(t=-32.59,P<0.01);对LOVO的IC50由(1607±57) μmol/L降至(1088±89) μmol/L(t=-8.52,P<0.01).结论 慢病毒载体能够高效地将TP cDNA转染至人结肠癌细胞SW480和LOVO并稳定传代,转染后2株细胞的TP mRNA和TP蛋白表达明显增高,使5′-DFUR转化为5-FU的量增加,对结肠癌细胞株SW480和LOVO的抑制作用增强.
Objectives To study the change of ability to transform from 5'-deoxy-fluorouracil monophosphate (5'-DFUR) to fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colon cancer cell lines SW480 and LOVO which transfected with thymidine phosphorylase (TP) gene. And to discuss the anti-cancer activity of 5'-DFUR to SW480 and LOVO cells. Methods TP cDNA were transfected into human colorectal cancer cell lines SW480 and LOVO with the lentiviral vector, pLenti6. 3_MCS_IRES2-EGFP. The transfection efficiency was analyzed by flow cytometer, the mRNA expression of TP was detected by RT-PCR, and the TP protein expression was detected by Western blot, and the volumes of 5-FU converted from 5'-DFUR both in 2 ceils and medium were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The 50% inhibitory concentration ( IC50 ) of 5'-DFUR on these 2 colon cancer cell lines both wild type and TP-transfected cells were evaluated by MTI" assay. Results The colorectal cancer cell lines SW480 and LOVO transfected with human TP cDNA were monitored 5 generations, and the transfections efficiency rate wea about 95%. Compared with wild type cell SW480 and LOVO, the RQ values of mRNA expression of SW480-TP and LOVO-TP were (695+ 171) folds (t = -7.00, P =0.002) and (282 +87) folds (t = -5.61, P = 0. 030), respectively. Also TP protein expression in SW480-TP and LOVO-TP were higher than their parent cells shown by Western blot. The volume of 5-FU converted from 5'-DFUR in the medium cultured SW480- TP and LOVO-TP were increased compared with their parent ceils, respectively ( t = 19. 406-66. 921, P 〈 0. 01 ), whereas few of 5-FU was detected both in wild, and TP-transfected cells. After transfected with TP cDNA, the IC50 of 5'-DFUR on SW480-TP and LOVO-TP were ( 587 + 17 ) μmol/L and ( 1088 + 89) μmol/L respectively, and there were significantly less than their parent cells ( t = - 32. 59 and - 8.52, P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusions The stabilized transfections of SW480 and LOVO with hig
