目的:观察缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)沉默后人卵巢癌细胞顺铂耐药株SKOV3/DDP的HIF-1α、多药耐药基因1(MDR1)和B细胞淋巴瘤/白血病-2基因(Bcl-2)mRNA及蛋白产物的表达,探讨HIF-1α逆转SKOV3/DDP耐药性的机制。方法:体外培养卵巢癌细胞株SKOV3(敏感组)及其顺铂耐药株SKOV3/DDP(耐药组),部分耐药株转染HIF-1α干扰质粒pshRNA-HIF(转染组)及对照质粒pshRNA—Control(对照组)。RT—PCR法检测各组细胞HIE-1α、MDR1和Bcl-2mRNA表达量;Western blotting和免疫组织化学法测定HIF-1α、P—gP(MDR1基因编码蛋白)和Bcl-2蛋白的表达量。结果:RT—PCR检测,敏感组和转染组HIF-1α、MDR1和Bcl-2mRNA表达量明显低于耐药组(P〈0.05)。Western blotting检测,敏感组和转染组HIF-1α、MDRl和Bcl-2蛋白表达量明显低于耐药组(P〈0.05);免疫组织化学法,敏感组和转染组HIF-1α、MDR1和Bcl-2蛋白表达量明显低于耐药组(P〈0.05);MDR1、Bcl-2mRNA及蛋白在敏感组与转染组的表达量差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。HIF-1α表达与MDR1、Bcl-2mRNA表达量均呈正相关关系(r=0.908,P=0;r=0.916,P=0);HIF-1α表达与P—gP、Bcl-2蛋白表达呈正相关关系(r=0.773,P=0.003;r=0.862,P=0)。结论:HIF-1α沉默逆转人卵巢癌细胞顺铂耐药株SOV3/DDP耐药性可能与MDR1和Bcl-2表达降低有关联。
Objective To observe the expressions of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-la), multidrun resistance (MDR1), and B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) mRNA and protein in human ovarian cancer DDP resistant strain SKOV3/DDP after HIF-1α silencing, and to explore the mechanism of the resistance of SKOV3/ DDP reversed by HIF-1α gene silencing. Methods The ovarian cancer cell strain SKOV3 (sensitivity group) and DDP resistance strain SKOV3/DDP (resistance group) were cultured in vitro and parts of the SKOV3/DDP were transfected with HIF-1α interfere plasmid pshRNA-HIF (transfection group) or control plasmid pshRNA-Control (control group). RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression levels of HIF-1α, MDR1 and Bcl-2 mRNA;Western blotting and immunohistochemisty methods were used to determine the expression levels of HIF-1α, P-gp (MDR1 gene encoding protein), and Bcl-2 protein in the cells. Results The expression levels of HIF-1α, MDR1 and Bcl 2 mRNA in sensitivity group and transfection group were significantly lower than those in resistance group (P〈0.05) detected by RT-PCR; the expression levels of HIF-1α, MDR1, and Bcl-2 protein in sensitivity group and transfection group were significantly lower than those in resistance group (P〈0.05) determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry; the expression levels of MDR1, Bcl 2 mRNA and protein in sensitivity group and transfection group had no significant difference (P〈0.05). The expressions of HIF-1α and MDR1 and Bcl -2 were closely related (correlation coefficient ofmRNA, r=0.908, P=0; r=0.916, P=0; correlation coefficient of protein, r= 0. 773, P=0. 003; r 0. 862, P=0).Conclusion The resistance of ovarian cancer cell SKOV3 / DDP HIF-1α gene silencing may be related to the down-regulation of MDR1 and Bcl 2 expressions.
