目的明確胰腺癌細胞株甲基轉(zhuǎn)移酶(DNMT)3b和microRNA-29b(miR-29b)的表達,分析兩者的相關性。方法應用實時定量PCR法檢測人胰腺癌細胞株PANC1、BxPC3、CFPAC、AsPC-1、Capan-2的DNMT3b mRNA和miR-29b表達。采用Pearson直線相關分析法分析兩者表達量的相關性。結果PANC1、BxPC3、CFPAC、AsPC-1、Capan-2的DNMT3b mRNA相對表達量分別為0.497±0.184、0.420±0.168、0.439±0.217、0.122±0.111和0.731±0.387;miR-29b的相對表達量分別為0.745±0.596、0.464±0.430、0.797±1.000、1.836±1.623和0.216±0.335,DNMT3b mRNA的表達量和miR-29b的表達量呈負相關關系(r=-0.922,P=0.026)。結論DNMT3b和miR-29b均參與了胰腺癌的發(fā)生發(fā)展,兩者呈負相關關系。

MicroRNA(miRNA)通過與靶基因mRNA上的靶序列互補配對結合,在轉(zhuǎn)錄后水平上對基因的表達進行負調(diào)控,導致mRNA的降解或翻譯抑制[1]。近年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),miRNAs在多種人類腫瘤中異常表達。雖然其機制尚不清楚,但有研究發(fā)現(xiàn)啟動子CpG島異常甲基化在很多腫瘤中與某些miRNAs的下調(diào)有關。我們前期的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),DNA甲基轉(zhuǎn)移酶家族(DNMTs),尤其是DNMT1和DNMT3b可能參與胰腺癌的發(fā)生與發(fā)展;胰腺癌患者血漿中存在miRNAs異常表達,尤其是DNMTs異常表達的胰腺癌患者血漿miRNAs表達下調(diào)。本研究檢測5株胰腺癌細胞株的DNMT3b和miRNA-29b(miR-29b)表達,并分析兩者的相關性,以明確導致胰腺癌DNMT3b異常高表達的內(nèi)在調(diào)控機制。
一、胰腺癌細胞株
人胰腺癌細胞株PANC1、BxPC3、CFPAC、AsPC-1、Capan-2均購自中國科學院細胞所,常規(guī)培養(yǎng)、傳代,收集對數(shù)期生長細胞。
二、實時定量PCR
應用Trizol(Sigma公司)抽提各胰腺癌細胞總RNA,分光光度計檢測其純度和濃度。應用Takara公司的PrimeScript TMRT Reagent Kit逆轉(zhuǎn)錄合成DNMT3b的cDNA;采用美國ABI公司的FG,Taqman(r)microRNA RT Kit逆轉(zhuǎn)錄合成miR-29b的cDNA;DNMT3b及其內(nèi)參18S TAQMAN探針、miR-29b及其內(nèi)參U6 TAQMAN探針均由美國ABI公司設計合成。采用實時定量PCR法同時檢測DNMT3b mRNA和miR-29b的表達。擴增反應程序:95℃ 15 s,60℃ 60 s, 40個循環(huán)。通過計算得到的RQ值(RQ=2-△△Ct)表示mRNA的相對表達量。

甲基化修飾是繼基因結構變異即突變和缺失之后的第3種抑癌基因失活機制,其中一種可能的因素是DNMTs高表達和DNMTs復合體調(diào)控障礙[2-3]。大多數(shù)腫瘤細胞的DNMTs表達明顯高于正常細胞,并與抑癌基因啟動子高甲基化狀態(tài)相關[4]。與基因突變引起的癌變不同,由于高度甲基化而導致的抑癌基因轉(zhuǎn)錄失活并不改變基因本身的序列,因此從理論上說,恢復基因的正常甲基化狀態(tài)可以重新激活基因的功能。Luczak等[5]應用反義DNMTs抑制其表達,通過減低DNMTs活性使被高甲基化的凋亡基因恢復活性。
近年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),miRNA與DNMTs有關。目前已經(jīng)證實,miR-29家族主要調(diào)控DNMT1、3a、3b;miR-148主要調(diào)控DNMT-1、3b;miR-143主要調(diào)控DNMT-3a;miR-152主要調(diào)控DNMT1[6-13]。Fabbri等[7]報道,miR-29家族通過靶向DNMT3a和DNMT3b逆轉(zhuǎn)肺癌細胞的異常甲基化。Garzon等[8]報道,在急性淋巴細胞白血病中,miR-29b通過直接靶向DNMT3a和DNMT3b及間接靶向DNMT1誘導整體的DNA低甲基化,導致腫瘤抑制基因的重新表達。呂塞群等[14]通過實時PCR檢測,發(fā)現(xiàn)PIC細胞感染病毒48 h后, DNMT3a和DNMT3b表達量顯著降低,肝癌細胞miR-29b的表達量與DNMT3a、DNMT3b的表達量呈負相關。本研究結果亦顯示,5株胰腺癌細胞株的DNMT3b mRNA的表達量和miR-29b的表達量呈負相關關系。

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of DNMT3b mRNA and microRNA-29b (miR-29b) in pancreatic cancer cells and analyze their relationship.MethodsReal-time RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of DNMT3b mRNA and miR-29b in five pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC1, BxPC3, CFPAC, AsPC 1, Capan 2) and the relationship between DNMT3b mRNA and miR-29b expression was analyzed by pearson linear correlation method.ResultsThe expression of DNMT3b mRNA in PANC1, BxPC3, CFPAC, AsPC 1, Capan 2 were 0.497±0.184, 0.420±0.168,0.439±0.217,0.122±0.111 and 0.731±0.387, while the expression of miR-29b were 0.745±0.596, 0.797±1.000,0.464±0.430,1.836±1.623 and0.216±0.335. The expression of DNMT3b mRNA was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-29b (r= -0.922,P=0.026).ConclusionsBoth DNMT3b and miRNA29b are involved in the carcinogenesis of pancreatic cancer, and they are negatively correlated.
