目的观察RNA结合蛋白38(RNPCI)基因过表达对人乳腺癌细胞BT474的生物学特性的影响。方法细胞分为空白对照组、阴性对照组和实验组,采用慢病毒转染法,利用细胞计数试剂盒(CCK-8)法、平板克隆形成实验、Transwell小室实验观察其对BT474细胞生物学特性的影响。结果CCK-8实验显示,空白对照组、阴性对照组和实验组6d时吸光度(A)值分别为0.7147±0.0189、0.7708±0.0160、0.5568±0.0436(P〈0.05)。克隆形成实验显示,14d时细胞克隆形成数分别为(113.300±3.528)、(118.700±2.404)、(47.330±2.906)个(P〈0.01)。Transwell小室实验显示,实验组细胞24h迁移、侵袭实验中滤过膜细胞数分别为(61.670±4.842)、(14.670±1.856)个,均比空白对照组和阴性对照组降低(P〈0.01)。Westernblot法显示,过表达RNPCIa下调基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)的蛋白表达(P〈0.01)。结论RNPCIa基因可以抑制BT474细胞的生物学特性。RNPCIa与MMP-2的相互作用关系在乳腺癌的侵袭和转移中起调节作用。
Objective To investigate the effect of RNA binding motif protein 38 ( RNPC1 ) overexpression on the biological behavior of a human breast cancer cell line BT474. Methods Cell prolifera- tion was tested by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay. The ability of colony formation was tested by plate clone formation assay. The abilities of migration and invasion were evaluated by Transwell chambers. The relative expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) protein was detected by Western blotting. Results CCK-8 test showed that the absorbance (A) value in experimental group, blank group and negative group at 6th day was (0. 714 7 ±0. 018 9) , (0. 770 8 ±0. 016 0) and (0. 556 8 ±0. 043 6) , respectively (P 〈 0. 05 ). The colony formation number at 14th day was significantly less in experimental group ( 113. 300 ± 3. 528 ) than in blank group ( 118. 700 ± 2. 404 ) and negative group (47. 330 ± 2. 906 ) ( P 〈 0. 01 ). The Transwell assay revealed that the number of cells passing through the Transwell membrance in experimental group [ (61. 670 ± 4. 842) for migration, and ( 14. 670 ± 1. 856) for invation± was significantly less than in blank group and control group ( both P 〈 0. 01 ). Overexpression of RNPC1 a down-regulated the expression of MMP-2 protein. Conclusion RNPCla exhibits multiple antieancer functions in breast cancer cells. RNPCla interacts with MMP-2 to play an important role in the metastasis of breast cancer.
