目的:探讨瘦素(leptin)对人脑胶质瘤U87MG细胞迁移及侵袭能力的影响及其机制。方法:Leptin处理U87MG细胞,采用细胞划痕实验检测U87MG细胞的迁移能力,Transwell实验检测U87MG细胞的侵袭能力,RT-PCR及Western blot-ting法检测U87MG细胞中MMP-2及MMP-9 mRNA和蛋白的表达。结果:Leptin明显促进U87MG细胞迁移能力[(152.42±3.29)vs(83.24±2.61)μm,P〈0.05]和侵袭能力[(31.78±5.04)vs(17.03±2.41)个细胞,P〈0.05],leptin能显著上调U87MG细胞中MMP-2、MMP-9 mRNA[(0.76±0.04)vs(0.35±0.02),(0.84±0.02)vs(0.41±0.06);均P〈0.05]及蛋白[(0.79±0.03)vs(0.23±0.01),(0.81±0.05)vs(0.39±0.03);均P〈0.05]的表达。MMP抑制剂GM6001(10μmol/ml)可以逆转leptin对U87MG细胞迁移[(82.05±2.98)vs(81.76±3.25)μm,P〉0.05]和侵袭能力[(19.23±2.46)vs(18.02±1.98)个细胞,P〉0.05]的影响。结论:Leptin可以促进人脑胶质瘤U87MG细胞的侵袭及迁移,其机制可能与上调MMP-2、MMP-9的表达有关。
Objective: To investigate the effect of leptin on the migration and invasion of human glioma U87MG cells,and explore its molecule mechanism.Methods: U87MG cells were treated with leptin,the cell migration was analyzed by cell scratch assay,cell invasion was detected by Transwell,and mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in U87MG cells were observed by RT-PCR and Western blotting assay.Results: Leptin significantly promoted migration([152.42±3.29] vs [83.24±2.61] μm,P0.05),and invasion([31.78±5.04] vs [17.03±2.41]/field,P0.05) of U87MG cells;the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly upregulated by leptin in U87MG cells(mRNA: [0.76±0.04] vs [0.35±0.02],[0.84±0.02] vs [0.41±0.06],P0.05;protein: [0.79±0.03] vs [0.23±0.01],[0.81±0.05] vs [0.39±0.03],P0.05);MMP inhibitor GM6001 reversed U87MG cell migration([82.05±2.98] vs [81.76±3.25] μm,P0.05] and invasion([19.23±2.46] vs [18.02±1.98]/field,P0.05) induced by leptin.Conclusion: Leptin can promote the invasion and migration of human glioma U87MG cells,which might related with the upregulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
