目的研究二烯丙三硫(DATS)对乳腺癌MDA—MB-231细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响及对尿激酶型纤溶酶激活物(uPA)系统的调节作用。方法实时定量PCR法(real—timePCR)检测乳腺癌细胞株uPA系统中uPA、uPA受体(uPAR)和uPA抑制物(PAI-1)的表达;使用不同浓度DATS处理乳腺癌细胞,MTS比色法测定细胞的增殖能力;Matrigel体外浸润实验检测DATS(20~60μmol/L)对细胞浸润能力的影响;Transwell小室迁移实验和划痕试验评价60μmol/LDATS对细胞迁移能力的影响;RT—PCR和Westernblot分别测定60txmol/LDATS作用后,乳腺癌细胞中uPA、uPAR和PAI-1mRNA和蛋白表达的变化;ELISA法检测细胞培养液中PAI-1蛋白含量的变化。结果20~80μmol/LDATS对高侵袭性乳腺癌细胞株MDA—MB-231的生长有明显的抑制作用,且呈浓度和时间依赖性。60μmol/LDATS明显抑制MDA-MB-231细胞的浸润和迁移能力,并在mRNA和蛋白水平上,显著上调PAI-1的表达,但对uPA和uPAR的表达水平无显著影响。结论DATS抑制MDA-MB-231细胞的增殖和侵袭能力,并在mRNA和蛋白水平上,显著上调PAI-1的表达。
Objective To investigate the effects of diallyl trisulfide (DATS) on proliferation and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and the role for DATS in regulation of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) system molecules. Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expressions of uPA, uPA receptor (uPAR) and uPA inhib- itor-1 (PAI-1) in breast cancer cell lines. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with various concentrations of DATS, fol- lowed by MTS assay to determine cellular proliferation. Martrigel invasion assays were performed to determine invasive capacity of cancer cells after 20-60 ixmol/L DATS treatments. Transwell motility assay and healing assay were utilized to detect the effect of 60 ixmol/L DATS on migration of MDA-MB-231 ceils. Real time -PCR and western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of nPA, uPAR and PAI-1 in tumor cells. Concentrations of PAI-1 protein were determined by ELISA assay in conditioned medium with DATS treatment. Results 20-80 μmol/L DATS signifi- cantly inhibited proliferation of highly invasive breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. 60μmol/L DATS inhibited invasiveness and motility capacity of MDA-MB-231 cells. PAI-1 expression was significantlyincreased by 60 ixmoL/L DATS at mRNA and protein levels, whereas uPA and uPAR expressions were not. Conclusion DATS significantly inhibits proliferation and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cell line and up-regulates PAI-1 expression at mRNA and protein levels.
