[摘要] 目的 為研究細(xì)胞周期相關(guān)因子PAK2在原發(fā)性肝癌中的作用,擬用shRNA干擾技術(shù)建立穩(wěn)定抑制PAK2蛋白表達(dá)的HUH-7肝癌細(xì)胞系。 方法 用基因轉(zhuǎn)染技術(shù)將人PAK2的3個(gè)shRNA片段分別克隆至慢病毒載體pHBLV-U6-ZsGreen-Puro,包裝成病毒后利用脂質(zhì)體將載體病毒轉(zhuǎn)染至HUH-7細(xì)胞,利用G418篩選穩(wěn)定表達(dá)shRNA的細(xì)胞。利用Real-time PCR和Western blotting方法分別鑒定轉(zhuǎn)染細(xì)胞內(nèi)PAK2的RNA及蛋白表達(dá)水平。 結(jié)果 sh1-PAK2 HUH-7、sh2-PAK2 HUH-7和sh3-PAK2病毒載體均可轉(zhuǎn)染至HUH-7細(xì)胞系,且轉(zhuǎn)染效率較高(>80%)。Real time-PCR結(jié)果顯示,與對(duì)照組sh-cont比較,轉(zhuǎn)染sh1-PAK2、sh2-PAK2和sh3-PAK可明顯抑制HUH-7細(xì)胞內(nèi)PAK2-mRNA的表達(dá),差異均有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(均P < 0.05),其中sh2-PAK2和sh3-PAK2的干擾效果尤為明顯,下調(diào)效率分別達(dá)68%和89%。Western blotting結(jié)果顯示,轉(zhuǎn)染sh3-PKA2細(xì)胞內(nèi)PAK2的蛋白表達(dá)量較對(duì)照組sh-cont明顯下調(diào),其表達(dá)量為對(duì)照組sh-cont的14.4%。 結(jié)論 穩(wěn)定抑制PAK2基因表達(dá)的肝癌細(xì)胞系shPAK2 HUH-7的建立為PAK2在肝癌細(xì)胞中的作用機(jī)制研究奠定細(xì)胞基礎(chǔ)。

[Abstract] Objective To study the role of cell cycle related factor PAK2 in primary hepatic carcinoma, shRNA interference technology was used to establish HUH-7 cell lines that could inhibit PAK2 protein expression stably. Methods Three shRNA fragments of human PAK2 were cloned into lentiviral vector pHBLV-U6-ZsGreen-Puro respectively by gene transfection technique, after they were transfected to virus, the carrier virus was transfected into HUH-7 cells by lipidosome, and G418 was used to screen cells that could express the shRNA stably. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to identify the expression levels of RNA and protein of PAK2 in transfection cells. Results All virus vectors of sh1-PAK2 HUH-7, sh2-PAK2 HUH-7 and sh3-PAK2 could be transfected into HUH-7 cell lines, and the transfection efficiency was high (>80%). The results of Real time-PCR showed that, compared with control group sh-cont, transfection sh1-PAK2, sh2-PAK2 and sh3-PAK could inhibit the expression of PAK2-mRNA in HUH-7 cells, the differences were all statistically significant (all P < 0.05), among which, the interference effectiveness of sh2-PAK2 and sh3-PAK2 was especially obvious, the down-regulated efficiency reached to 68% and 89% respectively. The results of Western blotting showed that, the protein expression level of PAK2 in sh3-PKA2 cells was lower than that of control group sh-cont, the expression level of which was 14.4% of control group sh-cont. Conclusion The establishment of cell line shRNA-PAK2 HUH-7 that can inhibit PAK2 genetic expression stably provides a cell model for mechanism study of PAK2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

p21激活激酶(p21-activated kinases,PAKs)是一類絲氨酸/ 蘇氨酸激酶,是小G蛋白R(shí)ho家族Rac和Cdc42重要的下游效應(yīng)分子,可分為2個(gè)亞類:PAK2屬于Ⅰ類范疇[1]。隨著研究的不斷深入,PAK2被證明作為Caspase酶的效應(yīng)底物,在凋亡的過(guò)程中被激活,發(fā)現(xiàn)PAK2可以被Caspase裂解從而顯示出催化活性[2]。近年來(lái),有很多學(xué)者指出PAK2的高表達(dá)在乳腺癌、頭頸部腫瘤、胃癌等多種腫瘤中,對(duì)其發(fā)生、發(fā)展中起促細(xì)胞增殖、抗凋亡作用,且在放射治療的抵抗中起著重要作用,有望成為腫瘤靶向治療的新靶點(diǎn)[3-7]。
