摘要
目的观察高渗应激对肝细胞癌Huh7细胞增殖和凋亡的影响,并探讨其调控机制。方法免疫组织化学法检测64例肝细胞癌组织中渗透压调控的转录因子活化T细胞核因子5(NFAT5)的表达;氯化钠模拟肿瘤高渗微环境,Westernblot法检测NFAT5蛋白的表达;流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡;噻唑蓝(MTF)比色法检测细胞体外增殖活力。结果癌组织NFAT5的阳性表达率为9.38%,明显低于癌旁组织(68.75%,P〈0.01)。高渗24h组(100mmol/LNaCl)能使Huh7细胞NFAT5蛋白的表达显著升高(P〈0.01)。高渗24h组(100mmol/LNaCl)细胞凋亡率[(26.0±3.2)%]明显高于空白对照组[(0.8±0.2)%,P〈0.01]。高渗24h(100mmol/LNaCI)能明显抑制Huh7细胞增殖.细胞生长抑制率为(31.35±2.09)%(P〈0.01)。结论作为哺乳动物唯一的渗透压调节相关因子NFAT5,肝细胞癌组织与癌旁组织在NFAT5高表达率上差异有统计学意义,高渗应激能上调肝癌细胞NFAT5的表达,诱导肝癌细胞凋亡,并抑制细胞增殖。
Objective TO investigate the effect of hyperosmotic stress on the proliferation and ap- optosis of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells, and preliminarily explore the mechanism. Methods The expression of m.ammalian osmotic regulator nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 ( NFAT5 ) was detected in 64 cases of hepAtocellular carcinoma by using immunohistochemistry. NaCI was used as a chemical hyper- osmotic-inducibie reagent to mimic tumor hyperosmotic microenvironment. The expression of NFAT5 pro- tein was analyzed by Western blotting. Cell apoptosis was examined by using flow cytometry and cell growth was measured by methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium (MTY) assay. Results NFAT5 positive expression rate was low (9. 38% ) in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue but high in the corresponding peritumoral tissue (68. 75% ) (P 〈0.01 ). Under hyperosmotic stress (100 mmol/L NaC1) for 24 h, the protein expression levels of NFAT5 in Huh7 cells were up-regulated (P 〈 0. 01 ). The apoptosis rate in experimental group [ (26.0±3.2 ) % ] was significantly higher than that in blank control group [ ( 0. 8±0. 2 ) % ]( P 〈 0. 01 ). Hyperosmotic stress ( 100 mmol/L NaC1) also inhibited growth of Huh7 cells with the cell growth inhibitory rate being (31.35±2.09) % ( P 〈 0. 01 ). Conclusion There are obvious differences in the ex- pression of the only mammalian osmotic regulator NFAT5 between hepatocellular carcinoma tissue and per- itumoral tissue. Hyperosmotic stress can up-regulate the NFAT5 protein expression, induce apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells, and inhibit cells proliferation.
