目的:筛选能提高鼻咽癌CNE-2细胞对β射线放射敏感性的CpGODN序列,观察筛选获得的CpGODN序列放射增敏的作用特点,为寻找新的鼻咽癌放疗增敏剂提供实验依据。方法:应用MTT实验筛选21种CpGODN序列中对人鼻咽癌CNE-2细胞放射增敏作用最强的序列,以MTT实验、集落形成实验、划痕实验和流式细胞术检测该最强作用序列与β射线联合作用对CNE-2细胞的增殖、集落形成、细胞迁移、细胞周期与凋亡的影响。结果:筛选实验显示CpGODN107对CNE-2细胞具有最高的增敏比(1.59±0.06),CpGODN107和β射线联合作用能以剂量依赖方式显著抑制CNE-2细胞的增殖,抑制效应显著高于单纯照射(P〈0.05,P〈0.01);联合作用显著抑制CNE-2细胞集落形成和迁移能力,显著诱导细胞周期阻滞于G0/G1期,显著增加细胞凋亡(P〈0.01),上述作用效应均明显强于单纯B射线照射(P〈0.05或P〈0.01)。结论:CpGODN107可显著增强人鼻咽癌CNE-2细胞对β射线的照射敏感性,其放射增敏作用可能与诱导细胞周期阻滞和凋亡有关。
Objective: To screen for specific CpG ODN sequence which can enhance the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2 cells to β-ray and to observe the sensitivity-enhancing characters of the screened CpG ODN sequence, so as to provide evidence for searching novel sensitizer of nasopharyngeal carcinoma to radiation. Methods: MTT assay was used to select the strongest sequence to sensitize CNE-2 ceils to β-ray irradiation from 21 CpG ODN sequences. The effect of the selected sequence combined with β-ray irradiation were used to treat CNE-2 cells and the proliferation, colony forming, cell migration, cell cycle and apoptosis were all observed. Results: Screen assay found CpG ODN107 had the highest SER (1.59±0.06) for CNE-2 cells. CpG ODN107 combined with β-ray irradiation inhibited CNE-2 cell proliferation in a close - dependent manner, and the inhibitory effect was significantly higher than that of radiation alone (P 〈 0.05, P 〈 0.01 ). CpG ODN107 combined with β-ray irradiation significantly inhibited the formation and migration of CNE-2 cell colony, and induced G0/G1 arrest and significantly increased cell apoptosis compared with that of radiation alone (P 〈 0.05 or 0.01 ). Conclusion: Our results suggest that CpG ODN107 can greatly enhance the radiosensitivities of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2 to β-ray radiation, which might be related to the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
