目的:研究干扰素/维甲酸诱导死亡基因(retinoid-interferon-induced mortality,GRIM-19)对结肠癌SW480细胞凋亡的影响。方法:构建GRIM-19真核表达载体(pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19),转染入SW480细胞中,Western blotting检测GRIM-19及凋亡相关蛋白Bal-xl的表达,采用Annexin-V/PI和线粒体膜电位JC-1染色检测SW480细胞的凋亡。结果:成功构建pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19真核表达载体。pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19质粒转染SW480细胞后,GRIM-19的表达上调,凋亡抑制蛋白Bcl-xl的表达则下调。转染空质粒pCMV-Flag组SW480细胞凋亡率为(7.7±1.39)%,转染pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19质粒后SW480细胞凋亡率为(15.0±2.52)%(P〈0.05)。线粒体膜电位检测显示转染空质粒pCMV-Flag组SW480细胞膜电位降低细胞为(7.5±2.09)%,而转染pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19后细胞线粒体膜电位降低细胞为(17.5±3.07)%(P〈0.05)。结论:GRIM-19体外转染可有效诱导结肠癌SW480细胞凋亡。
Objective:To investigate the effect of retinoid-interferon-induced mortality (GRIM-19) gene on the apoptosis of colon cancer.Methods:A GRIM-19 eukaryotic expression vector (pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19) was constructed and transfected into SW480 cells.Expressions of GRIM-19 and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blotting analysis.Apoptosis of SW480 cells was measured by Annexin-V/PI assay and mitochondrial membrane potential JC-1 staining.Results:The GRIM-19 eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19 was successfully constructed.Expression of GRIM-19 in SW480 cells was up-regulated and that of apoptosis-related protein Bcl-xl was down-regulated after transfection with pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19.Apoptosis rate was (7.7±1.39)% in SW480 cells transfected with pCMV-Flag empty vector and (15.0 ± 2.52)% in pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19 transfected cells (P〈0.05).Mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased in (7.5±2.09)% of pCMV-Flag transfected cells and (17.5±3.07)% of pCMV-Flag-GRIM-19 transfected cells (P〈0.05).Conclusion:In vitro GRIM-19 transfection can effectively induce apoptosis of colon cancer SW480 cells.
