摘要
目的 观察雌激素受体β(ERβ)的表达对乳腺癌细胞生物学特性以及裸鼠体内致瘤力的影响,探讨其在乳腺癌发生发展中的作用.方法 通过小干扰RNA(siRNA)的方法将ERβ高表达的MCF-7细胞敲降ERβ基因,筛选稳定表达株,利用裸鼠进行体内成瘤性实验,比较肿瘤生长曲线及裸鼠的生存期.结果 siRNA能明显降低乳腺癌细胞MCF-7中ERβ的表达,ERβ被敲降后MCF-7细胞的成瘤能力增强.RNA干扰组在裸鼠皮下接种的第12天开始可触摸到实体肿瘤的形成,对照组第27天开始可触摸到实体肿瘤的形成.RNA干扰组8只裸鼠中位生存时间为33d,对照组8只裸鼠中位生存时间为66 d.结论 ERβ基因对人乳腺癌细胞MCF-7在裸鼠体内皮下成瘤能力有明显的抑制作用.
Objective This study was to investigate the effect of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) on tumorigenesis of human breast cancer cell line in nude mice.Methods Breast cancer cell line MCF-7 (high expression of ERβ) was chose to show the tumorigenesis ablity after silence ERβ by small interfering RNA (siRNA).Results siRNA-ERβcan decrease the expression of ERβprotein in MCF-7 cells effectively.After silence ERββby siRNA,the tumorigenesis of MCF-7 cell were significantly enhanced.In ERβ-siRNA group,the tumor was papable on the 12th day,while in control-RNA group,the tumor was papable on the 27th day.The median survival time was 33 days in ERβ-siRNA group and 66 days in control-RNA group.Conclusion The ERβ gene can diminished the xenografts of MCF-7 cells in nudemice obviously.
