目的:通过探讨小分子双链RNA(siRNA)通过RNA干扰(RNAi)机制沉默肝癌细胞株Hep G2荧光素报告基因GFP的各项生物学指标,为进一步实验和临床研究提供依据.方法:通过体外实验,对siRNA和siRNA脂质体的稳定性和细胞毒性进行评估;通过荧光标记技术,研究不同时间siRNA脂质体的转染效率;通过荧光显微镜下观察转染细胞和RT-PCR检测靶基因mRNA表达,确定不同种类、形式、剂量的siRNA对靶基因的沉默效能.结果:在空白培养液中,siRNA和siRNA脂质体可稳定至4h,在5%血清中2～4h后明显降解;100nM的siRNA和siRNA脂质体无明显细胞毒性;siRNA脂质体转染细胞株的效率随时间不同而不同,4h可达90%;非特异性siRNA/脂质体无沉默靶基因表达作用,特异性siRNA/脂质体对靶基因的沉默作用在一定范围内随剂量升高(20nM、50nM、100nM)而升高.结论:siRNA的稳定性可满足实验需要,且无明显细胞毒性,特异性siRNA转染肝癌细胞株能有效抑制靶基因表达,用脂质体转染可提高转染效率.siRNA通过RNAi机制沉默靶基因表达,为肿瘤的治疗和基础研究提供了新的工具和思路.     

Quantification of mRNA by RT-competitive-PCR and high performance liquid chromatography

The use of RT-competitive-PCR with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection to quantify the absolute number of mRNA copies in mammalian cells is reported. As an example, the glutathione transferase (GST)-α mRNA in human hepatoma Hep G2 cells has been estimated. A PCR-generated internal standard was used as a competitor, co-amplified with the GST-α target sequence. The RT-competitive-PCR method was improved by designing target and competitor molecules which differed in only 30 base pairs. This allowed the two sequences to be co-amplified with the same efficiency. This improvement also facilitated a wider ratio to be used than previous methods (target:competitor ratio between 0.2 and 5). Products were baseline separated by HPLC using an ion-exchange column readily quantified at 260 nm. To validate the improved methodology, the effect of a known GST-α inducer, the anticancer drug oltipraz, was shown to induce GST-α mRNA up to 3-fold in Hep G2 cells. The RT-competitive PCR-HPLC method provides a reliable and sensitive way to quantify the amount of specific mRNA with 0.1 ng of total RNA.

NVP-BEZ235诱导自噬在肝癌细胞凋亡中的作用研究

目的 以Hep3B和PLC/PRF/5两种肝癌细胞为研究对象,探讨自噬在NVP-BEZ235中引起细胞凋亡的作用.方法 人类肝癌细胞Hep3B和PLC/PRF/5在含有10%FBS的DMEM培养基中进行培养,然后再进行细胞活性检测,用于Western blotting检测及线粒体膜电位(MMP)分析.结果 NVP-BEZ235能够有效增加LC3-Ⅱ的表达,并同时降低p62的表达,由此推断,NVP-BEZ235也能够诱导产生自噬,与Atg5的siRNA或自噬抑制剂3-甲基腺嘌呤(3-MA)联合应用时,肝癌细胞的生长被抑制.结论 NVP-BEZ235与Atg5的siRNA或者3-MA的联合应用能够促进细胞凋亡,NVP-BEZ235和自噬抑制剂的联合应用可为肝癌和其他恶性肿瘤临床治疗提供新的方法.

Hep27, a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family, is an NADPH-dependent dicarbonyl reductase expressed in vascular endothelial tissue

Human Hep27 was originally isolated from growth-arrested HepG2 cells and identified as a member of the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR). Its substrate specificity has not been determined, but a cross-species comparison suggests that it occurs in widely divergent species, such as human, Cenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila and Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, Hep27 was expressed as a His₆ fusion protein, and subjected to a substrate screen, using a compound library of SDR substrates, comprising steroids, retinoids, sugars and carbonyl compounds. Whereas no steroid dehydrogenase or retinoid activity was detected, it was found that Hep27 catalyzed the NADPH-dependent reduction of dicarbonyl compounds, like 3,4-hexanedione and 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione with similar turnover numbers as DCXR (a mitochondrial dicarbonyl reductase/xylulose reductase). In contrast, Hep27 does not convert sugar substrates like xylulose or threose. Based on its substrate specificity and expression in endothelial tissues, it is suggested that Hep27 functions as a dicarbonyl reductase in enzymatic inactivation of reactive carbonyls, involved in covalent modification of cellular components.
