目的觀察微小RNA181c(miR-181c)在膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤(GBM)組織中的表達(dá)及其對(duì)腫瘤細(xì)胞侵襲和遷移的影響。方法選擇41例份GBM組織(GBM組)、15例份正常腦組織(對(duì)照組),采用實(shí)時(shí)定量PCR法檢測組織中miR-181c表達(dá)。取膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤T98G細(xì)胞,分為A、B、C、D組,A、B、C組分別轉(zhuǎn)染過表達(dá)的miR-181c、空白對(duì)照miRNA、抑制表達(dá)的miR-181c,D組為不做任何處理的空白組。轉(zhuǎn)染48 h觀察各組腫瘤細(xì)胞的侵襲及遷移能力。結(jié)果GBM組組織中miR-181c的表達(dá)明顯低于對(duì)照組,P<0.05。轉(zhuǎn)染48 h時(shí)B、C、D組細(xì)胞侵襲數(shù)均多于A組,P<0.05;B、C、D組細(xì)胞相對(duì)遷移距離均長于A組,P<0.05。結(jié)論GBM組織中miR-181c呈低表達(dá);miR-181c低表達(dá)與GBM細(xì)胞的高侵襲和遷移能力密切相關(guān)。

膠質(zhì)瘤是最常見的中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)惡性腫瘤[1],膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤(GBM)是其中惡性程度最高的一種,預(yù)后極差。有報(bào)道稱手術(shù)切除腫瘤及放、化療聯(lián)合治療的GBM患者的中位生存期仍<15個(gè)月[2,3]。高侵襲性和易遷移是GBM術(shù)中難以徹底切除、術(shù)后容易復(fù)發(fā)的主要原因[4],但其具體機(jī)制目前尚不明確。微小RNA(miRNA)在腫瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展中起重要作用重要作用[5~7],miR-181是新發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種miRNA。研究[8,9]發(fā)現(xiàn),上調(diào)miR-181的表達(dá)可抑制腫瘤細(xì)胞的增殖、侵襲及遷移。但目前miR-181c在GBM侵襲和遷移的影響尚未見報(bào)道。2013年3月~2015年3月我們觀察了miR-181c在GBM組織的表達(dá)情況,并觀察其對(duì)腫瘤細(xì)胞侵襲和遷移的影響,旨在為GBM的治療提供新的思路。
1.1標(biāo)本、材料、試劑及儀器人GBM組織標(biāo)本來自2013年3月~2015年3月邯鄲市中心醫(yī)院保存的GBM標(biāo)本41例?;颊咧心?1例、女20例,年齡27~63歲;均經(jīng)病理確診為GBM;均為初次手術(shù),術(shù)前未行放化療治療。正常腦組織15例由頭部外傷手術(shù)內(nèi)減壓獲得。標(biāo)本使用均經(jīng)患者本人或家屬同意,實(shí)驗(yàn)過程經(jīng)邯鄲市倫理委員會(huì)批準(zhǔn)。人GBM細(xì)胞株T98G購自中國科學(xué)院生物物理研究所,置于含10%胎牛血清、青鏈霉素雙抗的DMEM培養(yǎng)基中,37 ℃、5% CO2的恒溫培養(yǎng)箱培養(yǎng)。細(xì)胞生長至70%~80%進(jìn)行傳代操作后備用。儀器和試劑:胎牛血清、青鏈霉素雙抗、DMEM培養(yǎng)基購自美國Gibco公司,過表達(dá)的miR-181c(miR-181c mimics)、空白對(duì)照miRNA(miR-nc)、抑制表達(dá)的miR-181c(anti-miR-181c)由上海吉瑪生物技術(shù)有限公司合成,Lipofectamine 2000 購自美國Invitrogen公司,Olympus IX70顯微鏡購自日本奧利巴斯影像公司。
1.2miR-181c在人GBM組織及正常腦組織中的表達(dá)檢測采用實(shí)時(shí)定量PCR法。取41例份人GBM組織(GBM組)、15例份正常腦組織(對(duì)照組),將標(biāo)本磨碎后置于TRIzol中,按照使用說明書步驟提取總RNA,瓊脂糖凝膠電泳檢測RNA完整性,應(yīng)用TaqmanTMmicroRNA進(jìn)行miRNA反轉(zhuǎn)錄,隨后TaqMan探針法進(jìn)行miRNA檢測及分析,同時(shí)選取U6內(nèi)參作為對(duì)照從而得出miR-181c的相對(duì)表達(dá)量。
1.3miR-181c對(duì)T98G細(xì)胞侵襲及遷移的影響觀察取適量T98G細(xì)胞,分為A、B、C、D組,A、B、C組分別用Lipofectamine 2000試劑轉(zhuǎn)染miR-181c mimics、miR-nc、anti-miR-181c,所有操作均嚴(yán)格按照使用說明書進(jìn)行;D組為不做任何處理的空白組。采用Transwell法觀察細(xì)胞的侵襲能力:轉(zhuǎn)染48 h時(shí)取各組細(xì)胞,胰酶消化后以2×104/孔接種于matrigel-Transwell小室內(nèi),小室內(nèi)采用無血清DMEM培養(yǎng)基進(jìn)行培養(yǎng),下層應(yīng)用10%胎牛血清的DMEM培養(yǎng)基培養(yǎng)。20 h后棉簽擦去上層未發(fā)生侵襲細(xì)胞,甲醇固定后,1 %結(jié)晶紫染色數(shù)分鐘,PBS清洗后顯微鏡下觀察計(jì)數(shù)侵襲細(xì)胞,以侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)代表細(xì)胞的侵襲能力。采用細(xì)胞劃痕遷移試驗(yàn)觀察細(xì)胞的侵襲能力:轉(zhuǎn)染48 h時(shí)取各組細(xì)胞,胰酶消化后將細(xì)胞接種至6孔板,90%融合后,應(yīng)用10 μL比照直尺進(jìn)行細(xì)胞劃線,劃線后赤壁采用無血清DMEM培養(yǎng)基進(jìn)行培養(yǎng)并應(yīng)用顯微鏡采集照片,24 h后再次進(jìn)行圖像采集,6孔板內(nèi)做好標(biāo)記使每次采集圖像為相同視野,應(yīng)用Image Pro Plus軟件進(jìn)行圖像分析,按照細(xì)胞相對(duì)遷移距離=0 h劃痕寬度-24 h劃痕寬度/0 h劃痕寬度×痕寬度%計(jì)算各組的相對(duì)遷移距離。實(shí)驗(yàn)重復(fù)3次,取平均值。

目前研究認(rèn)為MiR-181家族含有8個(gè)成熟序列,分別是hsa-miR-181a-5p、hsa-miR-181a-3p、hsa-miR-181a-2-3p、hsa-miR-181b-5p、hsa-miR-181b-3p、hsa-miR-181c-5p、hsa-miR-181c-3p、hsa-miR-181d-5p他們之間的堿基序列差異甚微,常成簇排列在染色體上,協(xié)同表達(dá),協(xié)同發(fā)揮功能。miR-181家族成員的作用機(jī)理與其他miRNA成員一樣,通過與靶標(biāo)的mRNA(信使RNA)的3′-UTR堿基互補(bǔ)結(jié)合,抑制其翻譯功能或降低其穩(wěn)定性,進(jìn)而達(dá)到精確調(diào)控基因表達(dá)的作用,既能調(diào)控癌基因的表達(dá),又能調(diào)控抑癌基因的表達(dá)。近年來有關(guān)microRNA-181家族的研究十分活躍,并且發(fā)現(xiàn)其在多種惡性腫瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展中發(fā)揮重要作用[8~10]。在肝癌中,Syamal等[11]發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181a對(duì)OPN表達(dá)具有負(fù)調(diào)控作用,能通過降低OPN表達(dá)而抑制肝癌細(xì)胞的黏附侵襲轉(zhuǎn)移功能。Ji等[12]在研究肝細(xì)胞癌的腫瘤干細(xì)胞時(shí),發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181家族成員可以直接靶向調(diào)控細(xì)胞分化相關(guān)的轉(zhuǎn)錄因子如CDX2,以及Wnt信號(hào)通路抑制因子NLK的表達(dá),從而維持其腫瘤干細(xì)胞特性。Wang等[13]發(fā)現(xiàn)TGF-b介導(dǎo)的miR-181b和miR-181d在肝癌組織中表達(dá)顯著升高,而作為癌癥抑制因子靶點(diǎn)的TIMP3表達(dá)顯著降低。Gao等[14]在肺癌研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181a低表達(dá)與患者不良預(yù)后顯著相關(guān),miR-181a可能成為肺癌的臨床診療標(biāo)志物。Zhu等[15]在研究人肺癌的多藥耐藥時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181b涉及了多藥耐藥的形成并且提示其有潛力成為逆轉(zhuǎn)多藥耐藥的治療靶標(biāo)。Wang等[16]在乳腺癌干細(xì)胞的研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181通過抑制腫瘤抑制基因ATM的表達(dá),進(jìn)而促進(jìn)乳腺癌干細(xì)胞的增殖。Pekarsky等[17]在研究慢性B淋巴細(xì)胞白血病(B-CLL)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)白血病相關(guān)癌基因TCL1是miR-181的直接調(diào)控靶標(biāo),miR-181有可能充當(dāng)慢性B淋巴細(xì)胞白血病的治療藥物。Shin等[18]在研究口腔癌細(xì)胞中發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181a能逆轉(zhuǎn)腫瘤的惡性行為,并有潛力成為治療癌癥的新型藥物。Yang等[19]發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181a及miR-181b與口腔癌淋巴結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)移血管侵襲及不良預(yù)后等密切相關(guān)。
圖2 各組細(xì)胞劃痕實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果
研究[7]證實(shí),microRNA可以作為評(píng)價(jià)GBM生物學(xué)行為及患者預(yù)后的分子生物學(xué)標(biāo)記。Shi等[20]將攜帶miR-181a及miR-181b基因的質(zhì)粒表達(dá)載體同時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)染多種膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤細(xì)胞株,發(fā)現(xiàn)兩者均能顯著抑制所有細(xì)胞株的增殖及侵襲轉(zhuǎn)移能力,并能促進(jìn)凋亡,其中miR-181b的作用比miR-181a更為顯著,這些提示miR-181a及miR-181b在膠質(zhì)瘤發(fā)生發(fā)展中均充當(dāng)抑癌基因角色。Li等[21]發(fā)現(xiàn)miR-181b在膠質(zhì)瘤干細(xì)胞U87的表達(dá)顯著低于正常膠質(zhì)瘤細(xì)胞U87,miR-181b過表達(dá)可抑制膠質(zhì)瘤干細(xì)胞U87的增殖及其體外成瘤能力,并增加膠質(zhì)瘤干細(xì)胞U87對(duì)化療藥物替莫唑胺的敏感性,這些說明miR-181b在膠質(zhì)瘤干細(xì)胞U87的無限增殖中也扮演抑癌基因作用,而且可能在針對(duì)膠質(zhì)瘤干細(xì)胞的治療中充當(dāng)重要的治療藥物。Radek等[22]在研究多發(fā)性膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤的臨床預(yù)后時(shí),對(duì)腫瘤組織進(jìn)行miR-181c和miR-21表達(dá)水平聯(lián)合檢測,可以預(yù)測確診后6個(gè)月內(nèi)的疾病進(jìn)展情況,而且特異性達(dá)81%,敏感性達(dá)92%,說明miR-181c對(duì)識(shí)別術(shù)后早期復(fù)發(fā)的高危膠質(zhì)瘤患者具有重要意義。Conti等[23]報(bào)道在Ⅱ~Ⅳ期膠質(zhì)瘤的臨床組織標(biāo)本中,miR-181b表達(dá)顯著降低,而miR-21和miR-221表達(dá)顯著升高,并提示miRNA可能在腦膠質(zhì)瘤的臨床分期診斷中發(fā)揮重要作用。然而,miR-181c在膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤中的表達(dá)及生物學(xué)作用尚不清楚。在本研究中,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)與正常腦組織相比,miR-181c在GBM組織中的表達(dá)均顯著降低,這種差異表達(dá)提示miR-181c可能在膠質(zhì)母細(xì)胞瘤中發(fā)揮重要的作用。
侵襲和遷移是惡性腫瘤顯著地生物學(xué)特征,膠質(zhì)瘤的侵襲和遷移能力是決定患者預(yù)后的主要因素[24,25]。影響腦膠質(zhì)瘤侵襲性生長的因素主要包括:膠質(zhì)瘤自身的生物學(xué)特性、血管生成、膠質(zhì)瘤細(xì)胞所處微環(huán)境及膠質(zhì)瘤與機(jī)體免疫系統(tǒng)間的相互作用[4]等。缺氧、代謝、占位效應(yīng)、趨化、手術(shù)刺激等外界因素均可誘導(dǎo)腫瘤脫離瘤體向正常腦組織侵襲[5]。目前研究認(rèn)為microRNA與腫瘤侵襲的關(guān)系十分密切,在肝癌、肺癌、乳腺癌、口腔癌的侵襲轉(zhuǎn)移過程中均發(fā)現(xiàn)了存在microRNA的參與[13~17]。在本研究中,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在膠質(zhì)瘤細(xì)胞株T98G中上調(diào)miR-181c的表達(dá)能夠顯著抑制膠質(zhì)瘤細(xì)胞株的遷移和侵襲能力。這說明miR-181c能夠在影響GBM侵襲性生長中發(fā)揮重要的作用。結(jié)合既往文獻(xiàn)報(bào)道,我們推測其可能作用機(jī)制為:①miR-181c通過影響TGF-b、Notch等信號(hào)通路促進(jìn)膠質(zhì)瘤的侵襲性生長;②miR181c可能通過囊泡在腫瘤細(xì)胞與基質(zhì)細(xì)胞、免疫細(xì)胞間相互傳遞,從而影響腫瘤微環(huán)境導(dǎo)致腫瘤的侵襲性生長。
綜上所述,GBM組織中存在miR-181c低表達(dá),miR-181c低表達(dá)與GBM細(xì)胞的高侵襲和遷移能力密切相關(guān)。但其具體作用機(jī)制尚有待于進(jìn)一步研究。

ObjectiveTo observe the expression changes of microRNA181c(miR-181c)in glioblastoma(GBM)and its effects on invasion and migration of tumor cells.Methodsreal-time PCR was used to detect the miR-181c expression in 41 GBM tissues(GBM group)and 15 normal brain tissues(control group).GBM cell line T98G was divided into four groups: groups A,B,C and D.In the groups A,B and C,the T98G was transfected with miR-181c with overexpression,control miRNA and miR-181c,respectively,but the group D without any treatment.After transfection 48 h,the invasion and migration in each group was investigated.ResultsCompared with the control group,the miR-181c expression was down-regulated in the GBM group,P<0.05.After transfection 48 h,the invasive cells in the groups B,C and D were more than those of the group A,P<0.05.Moreover,cell relative migration distance in the groups B,C and D was also longer than that of the group A,P<0.05.ConclusionThe miR-181c is lowly expressed in GBM tissues,and the low miR-181c expression is closely related with GBM cell invasion and migration.
