目的:建立野生型Keap1过表达的H460细胞株降表达Nrf2,检测Nrf2-ARE信号通路对肿瘤细胞耐药性的影响。方法:H460细胞转染mKeap1-pEGFP后经过长期筛选得到稳定表达Keap1蛋白质的细胞株,通过Western blotting和荧光定量PCR的方法进行检测;并通过多次继代培养,细胞株H460-N5稳定表达mKeap1,Nrf2及其调控基因均显著降表达;用MTS法检测抗癌药物奥沙利铂、阿霉素和依托泊苷对细胞增殖抑制率。结果:H460细胞转染mKeap1-pEGFP后筛选建立Nrf2降表达的稳定细胞株H460-N5。MTS数据显示,与对照组相比,抗癌药物奥沙利铂、阿霉素和依托泊苷对H460-N5细胞的抗增殖作用更显著。当奥沙利铂和依托泊苷分别在93μmol/L和100μmol/L浓度作用于对照组细胞株H460-N0时,药物作用接近半数抑制率(IC50);而在H460-N5细胞株中,两种抗癌药物的IC50分别为42μmol/L和30μmol/L。阿霉素对H460-N0细胞的IC50〉3 mg/L,而对H460-N5细胞的IC50约为2 mg/L。结论:Keap1过表达的H460-N5细胞Nrf2及调控基因显著降低并增敏抗癌药物奥沙利铂、阿霉素和依托泊苷对肿瘤细胞的增殖抑制作用。
Objective: To maked a Nrf2 down-regulated cell line by over-expressing Keap1 in H460 cells to study the role of Nrf2 in drug resistance.Methods: Transfecting H460 cells with mKeap1-pEGFP and screennig for Keap1 expressing clones by Western blotting with antibodies against Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1 and AKR1C.The cell line with Keap1 over-expression was further confirmed by real-time PCR.The cytotoxicity of H460-N5 to anti-cancer drugs was evaluated by MTS assay.Results: MTS assay results showed the enhanced cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs(Oxaliplatin,Doxorubicin and Etopside) to the H460 cell line with keap1 overexpression compared to the control cell line.In H460-N0 cells,the IC50 values of Oxaliplation and Etopside were 93 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L respectively whereas the IC50 values of the two drugs were 42 μmol/L and 30 μmol/L correspondingly in H460-N5 cells.The IC50 value of Doxorubicin to H460-N0 cell was above 3 mg/L,but that to H460-N5 cell was about 2 mg/L.Conclusions: A Nrf2 down-regulated cell line H460-N5 and a control cell line with GFP over-expression have been identified.Down-regulation of Nrf2 enhanced the cytotoxicity of Oxaliplatin,Doxorubicin and Etopside.
