目的分析比较五种常见的上皮性卵巢癌细胞系IL-6、IL-8及其受体表达的差异。方法IL-6、IL-8的表达分别采用RT-PCR和ELISA法进行检测,IL-6受体(IL-6Rα和gp130)及IL-8受体(IL-8RA和IL-8RB)的表达采用免疫印迹技术进行测定。结果①五种上皮性卵巢癌细胞均组成性表达IL-6和IL-8。IL-6和IL-8在CAOV-3细胞中的表达水平均最高,而在HO-8910PM细胞中的表达水平均最低,IL-6在SKOV-3、HO-8910、OVCAR-3细胞中的表达水平依次降低,IL-8在OVCAR-3、SKOV-3、HO-8910细胞中的表达水平依次降低。②五种上皮性卵巢癌细胞均表达IL-6Rα、gp130及IL-8RA;除CAOV-3细胞外,其它细胞均表达IL-8RB。结论本研究旨在筛选表达IL-6和IL-8及其相应受体的细胞株,为研究IL-6、IL-8与卵巢癌发生、发展关系奠定基础,同时也为今后卵巢癌的免疫治疗提供一个新的思路。
Objective To investigate the expression levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and their receptors in five epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to examine the expressions of IL-6 and IL-8, respectively. The expressions of IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and IL-8 receptor (IL-8R) were detected by Western blot analysis. Results All epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines constitutively expressed IL-6 and IL-8. The expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in CAOV-3 cells were the highest, but in HO-8910PM cells were the lowest. The expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were cell line dependent. Five ovarian cancer cells all expressed IL-6R, gp130, and IL-8RA; five ovarian cancer cells except CAOV-3 cells expressed IL-8RB. Conclusion Data from this study could provide a basis for investigating the relationship of IL-6 and IL-8 with epithelial ovarian cancer, and is useful for designing new strategies of immunotherapy.
