目的 探讨3-氨基吡啶-2-甲醛硫代缩氨基脲(Triapine)对不同p53状态肝癌细胞的生长抑制及DNA损伤诱导基因45β(GADD45β)诱导差异及其调控机制.方法 转染p53全序列建立Hep3B+p53;体外合成GADD45β近端6个启动子序列群(-618 ~-314),构建荧光素表达质粒,转染肝癌细胞株HepG2、Hep3B和Hep3B+p53;以实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(FQ-PCR)比较Triapine对GADD45β表达诱导及其近端启动子活性影响差异;进一步比较对DNA合成和细胞克隆形成能力抑制差异;并通过半胱氨酰天冬氨酸特异性蛋白酶(Caspase)-3的表达变化测定细胞凋亡的发生和发展.结果 Triapine对Hep3B中GADD45诱导并不明显,Hep3B+p53对Triapine敏感性明显增加,2.5、5.0μmol/L剂量下GADD45/甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)比值分别为0.0425和0.0704,并呈现出剂量-效应的正相关关系.荧光素分析提示Triapine作用Hep3B+p53后的启动子核因子(NF)-κB(-618/+6)和E2F-1(-470/+6)活性较Hep3B明显增强约1.3倍和0.7倍.Triapine能够更加明显地抑制Hep3B +p53的DNA合成能力和细胞克隆形成能力,5μmol/L Triapine对Hep3B +p53DNA合成的抑制率为40.89%,对细胞克隆形成能力的抑制率达到68.16%,与Hep3B比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).Triapine作用后Hep3B+p53的Caspase-3能迅速激活,活性高峰提前出现于6h.结论 p53在核糖核苷酸还原酶抑制剂化疗药物对肝癌细胞的GADD45诱导中具有重要作用,其作用机制可能是增强转录调节因子的表达水平.
Objective To identify the role of p53 in the induction of growth arrest DNA damageinducible gene 45 β (GADD45β) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by Triapine.Methods Hep3B +p53 clone was established by the transfection of the full-length p53 sequence to Hep3B.Following Triapine administration,real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) were employed to validate the expression changes of GADD45β.pGL3 basic luciferase plasmids including six promoter fragments (-618/-314) were synthesized in vitro and transfected into cells.The effects on promoter activity,cell growth and the cleavage of cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease (Caspase)-3 were further focused on.Results GADD45β could be induced apparently in Hep3B+p53 by Triapine,which couldn't be enhanced in Hep3B.GADD45/glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) increased to 0.0425 and 0.0704 by 2.5 and 5.0 μmol/L Triapine,respectively.The promoter activity of nuclear factor-κB (NF-KB) and E2F-1 binding sites could be induced about 1.3 and 0.7 folds by transfection of p53.The colony formation and DNA syntheses were inhibited apparently in Hep3B+p53 by Triapine (40.89% and 68.16% by 5 μmol/L Triapine,respectively).Moreover,the p53 transfection could trigger the cleavage of Caspase-3 more rapidly.Conclusion p53 may play an important role in the induction of GADD45β in Hep3B by Triapine.
