目的:探讨结直肠癌耐药细胞增殖及侵袭力与Na+,F+-ATP酶活性及其β1亚单位和P糖蛋白(p-gP)表达的关系,及哇巴因增加化疗敏感性的可能机制。方法:以人结直肠癌亲本细胞(sw480)和耐奥沙利铂细胞(Sw480/OxR)为研究对象,采用MTS法、Transwell小室、生化酶学、实时定量PCR(Realtimequantitative,RT—PCR)及流式细胞技术等方法比较SW480细胞与SW480/OxR细胞的增殖及侵袭力、Na+,K+-ATP酶活性及其β-亚单位和P—gp表达的差异,观察哇巴因对SW480/OxR细胞上述指标的影响。结果:与SW480细胞比较,SW480/OxR细胞增殖活力无明显变化(P〉0.05),而细胞侵袭力却显著增加,Na+,K+-ATP酶活性下降,β-亚单位表达下调,P—gp表达上调(P均〈0.01);哇巴因能显著抑制SW480/OxR细胞增殖活力,减弱其侵袭力,下调SW480/OxR细胞P—gP蛋白表达,上调SW480/OxR细胞B。亚单位蛋白表达,增加SW480/OxR细胞Na+,K+-ATP酶活性(P均〈0.01)。结论:Na+,K+-ATP酶活性下降可能源于B。亚单位表达下调,并参与结直肠癌的耐药;哇巴因能部分逆转结直肠癌耐药细胞MDR,可能与增加Na+,K+-ATP酶活性及下调P—gp表达有关。
Objective: This work aimed to explore the effects of Na+/K+-ATPase activity and the expression of its β1-subunit and P-glycoprotein ( P-gp ) on the proliferation and invasion of human colorectal cancer parental cells ( SW480 ) and oxaliplatin-resistant cells ( SW480/OxR ). The molecular mechanisms of ouabain for reversing the multidrug resistance ( MDR ) of human colorectal cancer oxaliplatin-resistant cells were also examined. Methods: SW480 and SW480/OxR cells derived from the same patient were treated with or without ouabain at the physiological concentration of 1 nM. The SW480 and SW480/OxR cell proliferation capacity was assessed by the MTS assay. The invasion capacity was deteremined using a Transwell chamber. The Na+/K+-ATPase activity was mea- sured by biochemical and enzymological techniques. The expression of the β1-subunit and P-gp of Na+/K+-ATPase was determined by real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, and flow cytometry. Results: The capacity of invasion significantly increased in the SW480/OxR cells compared with the SW480 cells ( P 〈 0.01 ). There was no difference between the SW480 and SW480/OxR cell pro- liferation capacities ( P 〉 0.05 ). The Na+/K+-ATPase activity significantly decreased in SW480/OxR cells compared with SW480 cells ( P 〈 0.01 ). The expression of the Na+/K+-ATPase β 1-subunit in mRNA and protein levels was lower in SW480/OxR cells than in SW480 cells ( P 〈 0.01 ). However, the expression of P-gp in mRNA and protein levels was higher in SW480/OxR cells than in SW480 cells ( P 〈 0.01 ). Interestingly, ouabain at the physiological concentration of 1 nM significantly enhanced the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in SW480/OxR cells ( P 〈 0.05 ). The expression of the β1-subunit was also upregulated and that of P-gp was downregulated at the protein level, thereby inducing a decrease in the capacity of SW480/OxR cell growth inhibition and invasion. Nevertheless, after ouabain treatment for 48 h, the
