目的探讨二噁英(TCDD)对调控成骨肉瘤细胞(SaOS-2)凋亡和胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白6(insulin—like growth factor binding protein 6,IGFBP-6)基因表达的影响。方法应用1×10^9、1×10^-8、1×10^-7mol/L浓度的TCDD作用于SaOS-2细胞株,采用四甲基偶氮噻唑蓝(MTT)法检测TCDD对SaOS-2细胞增殖能力的影响,流式细胞仪检测SaOS-2细胞株细胞凋亡率,采用对硝基酚磷酸盐法测定SaOS-2细胞内碱性磷酸酶(ALP)的活力,采用反转录-聚合酶链反应(RT—PCR)半定量分析SaOS-2中IGFBP-6 mRNA的表达,采用Western印迹杂交鉴定SaOS-2中IGFBP-6蛋白的表达。结果在1×10^-9、1×10^-8、1×10^-7mol/LTCDD浓度下SaOS-2的增殖指数分别为18.4±4.5、22.5±3.6、29.4±4.2。SaOS-2 ALP的活力分别为1.12±0.28、1.58±0.14、1.96±0.17U/mg Pro,均高于对照组;且1×10^-7、1×10^-8mol/L组与对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);1×10^-7mol/LTCDD浓度组的细胞凋亡率明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。3个不同浓度组的mRNA表达和1×10^-7mol/LTCDD组蛋白的表达均明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论低浓度的TCDD对SaOS-2的凋亡代谢具有拮抗作用。TCDD对SaOS-2内IGFBP-6基因表达的抑制效应,可能是TCDD参与骨肿瘤发生及生长的作用机制之一。
Objective To investigate the effect of the environmental carcinogenic factor-TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) on cell apoptosis and gene regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) in osteogenic sarcoma (SaOS-2) cells. Methods The SaOS-2 cells were cultured with TCDD ( 1 ×10^-9, 1 ×10^-8,1 ×10^-7mol/L) for 24 hours. The MTT reduction assay and flow cytometry were used to measure the cell proliferation and the cell apoptosis in TCDD-treated SaOS-2 cells. The Nitrophenol phosphate salt method was used to measure activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in SaOS-2 cells. The IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein in SaOS-2 cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. Results SaOS-2 cell proliferation was up-regulated with TCDD ( 1 ×10^-9,1 ×10^-8,and 1×10^-7mol/L) about 20% ,47% and 93%( 18.4±4.5,22.5±3.6 and 29.4±4.2) ,respectively. The synthesis of ALP was up-regulated about 28% ,95% ,and 142%( 1.12±0.28, 1.58±0.14 and 1.96±0.17) ,respectively(P〈0.05 ). The cell apoptosis was down-regulated in dose-dependent biological manner about 5%, 26% and 52% ,respectively (P〈0.05). The expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein was decreased in 1×10^-7mol/L TCDD-treated SaOS-2 cells about 76% and 72%(P〈0.05). Conclusion TCDD at low concentration may have the negative effect on cell apoptosis and down-regulation on gene expression of IGFBP-6 in SaOS-2 cells.
