目的 :探讨mTORC1-HIF1α通路基因在人CD8+调节性T细胞中的表达及意义。方法:建立人卵巢癌细胞系SKOV3与健康人CD8+T细胞体外共培养体系,设置CD8+T细胞单独培养组为对照组。共培养5 d后,收集各组CD8+T细胞,荧光定量PCR检测2组CD8+T细胞中mTORC1-HIF1α通路基因(mTORC1、HIF1α、Glut1、PKM2、GPI、TPI、Eno1及LDHα)m RNA表达水平;Western blot检测2组CD8+T细胞中mTORC1-HIF1α通路基因(mTORC1、HIF1α及PKM2)蛋白表达水平;收集14例卵巢癌,12例卵巢良性肿瘤及12例健康体检者外周血,磁珠阳选法分离CD8+T细胞,荧光定量PCR检测卵巢癌患者CD8+T细胞中mTORC1-HIF1α通路基因m RNA表达水平,并与卵巢良性肿瘤及健康体检者做比较研究。结果 :与单独培养组相比,共培养组CD8+T细胞mTORC1、HIF1α、PKM2、GPI及TPI m RNA表达水平显著降低(P〈0.05);Western blot结果显示,共培养组CD8+T细胞mTORC1、HIF1α及PKM2蛋白表达水平也显著低于对照组(P〈0.05);卵巢癌组CD8+T细胞中mTORC1、HIF1α、Glut1、PKM2、GPI及TPI表达量显著低于健康对照组(P〈0.05);卵巢癌组mTORC1、PKM2、GPI及TPI表达量明显低于卵巢良性肿瘤组(P〈0.05);卵巢良性组mTORC1-HIF1α通路各基因表达水平与健康对照组间无显著性差异。结论:卵巢癌微环境诱导的CD8+调节性T细胞低表达mTORC1-HIF1α通路基因,mTORC1-HIF1α通路在卵巢癌微环境中CD8+调节性T细胞代谢及分化过程中具有重要意义。
Objective:To investigate the expressions and significances of mTORC1-HIF1α pathway genes in human CD8+regulatory T cell. Methods:Coculture systerm of CD8+T cells and SKOV3 were conducted in vitro,CD8+T cells cultured alone group acted as control group. At day 5,CD8+T cells were collected,and used to examine the expression of eight glycolysis genes by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase(q RT)-PCR(mTORC1,HIF1α,Glut1,PKM2,GPI,TPI,Eno1,and LDHα). Western blot was used to detect the expression of mTORC1,HIF1α and PKM2. We collected peripheral blood from 14 ovarian cancer(OC)patients,12 benign diseases,and 12 healthy females. CD8+T cells were then separated using a CD8-positive isolation kit. The expressions of mTORC1,HIF1α,Glut1,PKM2,GPI,TPI,Eno1,and LDHα in CD8+T cells from OC patients was detected by q RTPCR and compared with that in patients with ovary benign tumor(BOT)and healthy volunteers. Results:Compared with CD8+T cells cultured without SKOV3 cells,glycolysis gene expression showed varying degrees of decline in CD8+T cells cultured with SKOV3 cells. The expression of mTORC1,HIF1α,PKM2,GPI,and TPI was significantly decreased in co-cultured cells compared with the control group. Results showed that the expression of mTORC1,HIF1α,and PKM2 decreased significantly(P 〈 0.05)in CD8+T cells cultured with SKOV3 cells compared with control group. HIF1α and Glut1 m RNA had lower expression levels in CD8+T cells from OC patients than those from healthy controls(both P 〈 0.05). mTORC1,PKM2,GPI,and TPI were also expressed at lower levels in OC patients than those in either BOT patients or healthy controls(both P 〈 0.05). The expression of mTORC1-HIF1α pathway genes has no difference between benign diseases group and the healthy controls. Conclusion:mTORC1-HIF1α signalling integrates the control of CD8+T cells metabolism and differentiation in ovarian cancer microenvironment,which play a significant role in the immunotherapy of OC.
