摘要
采用半定量RT-PCR方法检测人卵巢透明细胞癌ES-2细胞中PIWIL1、PIWIL2、PIWIL3、PIWIL4 mRNA表达水平,以及PIWIL4在卵巢癌组织和癌旁正常组织中的表达情况.设计并化学合成针对PIWIL4的siRNA,用脂质体转染法将其转入ES-2细胞内,通过MTT和克隆形成实验,观察PIWIL4-siRNA对ES-2细胞生长活性和增殖能力的影响.半定量RT-PCR实验结果发现,ES-2细胞中,PIWIL4相对PIWIL1、PIWIL2、PIWIL3,其表达水平最高(P<0.05),而且PIWIL4在卵巢癌组织中的表达明显高于癌旁正常组织(P<0.01).MTT实验和克隆形成实验结果显示,转染PIWIL4-siRNA的ES-2细胞生长活性和克隆形成率明显低于对照组(P<0.05).由此得出结论:PIWIL4在卵巢癌细胞系ES-2细胞表达较高,且它在卵巢癌组织中的表达明显上调,同时PIWIL4-siRNA可有效抑制ES-2细胞的生长活性和增殖能力,提示PIWIL4可能与卵巢癌发生、发展相关.
To explore the expressional information of PIWIL4 in human ovarian cancer, semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (semi-qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression level of PIW/L1, P/W/L2, PIWIL3 and PIWIL4 in human ovarian clear cell carcinoma ES-2 cells. Meanwhile, in human ovarian cancer and adjacent normal tissues, the mRNA expression of PIWIL4 was determined. Then, PIWIL4-siRNA, which was designed to target PIWIL4 and chemical synthesized, was transfected into ES-2 cells with lipofectamine. MTT assay and clone formation assay were used to investigate the effects of PIWIIA-siRNA on the cell growth activity and proliferation capacity of ES-2 cells. Experimental results showed that the mRNA expression level of PIWIL4 was the highest compared to PIWIL1, PIWIL2 and PIWIL3 in ES-2 cells (P 〈 0.05), and the expression of PIWIL4 mRNA in ovarian cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent normal tissues (P 〈 0.01). MTT and clone formation analyses demonstrated that the cell growth activity and clone formation ratio of PIWIL4-siRNA transfected ES-2 cells were markedly decreased (P 〈 0.05). In conclusion, the expression of PIWlL4 mRNA was highest in ovarian cancer cell line ES-2 cells and was significantly increased in ovarian cancer tissues. Moreover, PIWIIA-siRNA can efficiently inhibit the cell activity and proliferation ability of ES-2 cells. In a word, PIWIL4 may be related to the pathogenesis of human ovarian cancer.
