目的:探讨磷脂酶Cε1(PLCE1)抑制肺腺癌A549细胞凋亡的作用机制。方法:选用人肺腺癌细胞株A549作为研究对象。采用real-time PCR和Western blotting法分别检测PLCE1抑制剂U-73122处理前、后肺腺癌细胞株A549中PLCE1和p53 mRNA和蛋白水平的表达;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡。结果:肺腺癌细胞株A549高表达PLCE1,低表达p53;抑制PLCE1表达后A549细胞中p53表达上调,细胞凋亡明显增加。结论:PLCE1通过抑制肺腺癌A549细胞株中p53的表达,从而抑制A549细胞凋亡。
AIM:To investigate the role of phospholipase C epsilon 1 ( PLCE1 ) in modulating the apoptotic mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma A 549 cells.METHODS:PLCE1 inhibitor U-73122 was used to suppress the expres-sion of PLCE1.The expression of PLCE1 and p53 in A549 cells was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting.Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry .RESULTS:A549 cells expressed high level of PLCE1 and low level of p53.Inhibition of PLCE1 markedly increased the expression of p 53, and increased the apoptosis of A 549 cells.CON-CLUSION:PLCE1 suppresses apoptosis of A549 cells via inhibiting the expression of p53.
