[Abstract] Objective To study the effect of miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of esophageal cancer cells. Methods Transient transfection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells was used as experimental object. The single transfection group: blank control group, miR-21 mimics negative control (miR-21 mimic NC) group, miR-21 mimic group, miR-21 inhibitor NC group, miR-21 inhibitor group, siRNA NC group, PDCD4 siRNA group, c-Jun siRNA group. Cotransfection group: miR-21 inhibitor NC + siRNA NC group, miR-21 inhibitor + siRNA NC group, miR-21 inhibitor + siRNA NC group inhibitor + PDCD4 siRNA group. CCK-8, Transwell migration and invasion were used to detect the effect of miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1 feedback loop on the proliferation, migration and invasion of EC9706 cells. Results From the 2nd day after transfection, the proliferation ability of EC9706 cells in miR-21 mimic group was significantly higher than that in blank control group, miR-21 mimic NC group, miR-21 inhibitor NC group and miR-21 inhibitor group (P < 0.05). The number of cells passing through the chamber in miR-21 mimic group was more than that in blank control group and miR-21 mimic NC group (P < 0.05); the number of cells passing through the chamber in miR-21 inhibitor group was less than that in miR-21 inhibitor NC group (P < 0.05). The number of invasive cells penetrating Matrigel in miR-21 mimic group was more than that in blank control group and miR-21 mimic NC group (P < 0.05); the number of invasive cells penetrating Matrigel in miR-21 inhibitor group was less than that in miR-21 inhibitor NC group (P < 0.05). From the 2nd day after transfection, the proliferation ability of EC9706 cells in PDCD4 siRNA group was higher than that in blank control group and siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). The number of cells passing through the chamber and invading cells passing through Matrigel in PDCD4 siRNA group was higher than that in blank control group and siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). The proliferation ability of EC9706 cells in miR-21 inhibitor + siRNA NC group was lower than that in miR-21 inhibitor + PDCD4 siRNA group and miR-21 inhibitor NC + siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). The number of cells passing through the chamber and the number of cells penetrating Matrigel in miR-21 inhibitor + PDCD4 siRNA group was more than that in miR-21 inhibitor + siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). The proliferation ability of EC9706 cells in c-Jun siRNA group was lower than that in blank control group and siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). The number of cells passing through the chamber and the number of invasive cells passing through Matrigel in c-Jun siRNA group was less than that in siRNA NC group (P < 0.05). Conclusion miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1 feedback loop can regulate the growth and invasion of esophageal cancer cells, which provides a new therapeutic strategy for preventing invasion and metastasis.

食管癌是高發(fā)惡性腫瘤之一,其5年生存率低,為10%~30%。由于食管癌預(yù)后差,亟需尋找新的有效的治療方案。近年來,miRNA和食管癌關(guān)系的研究日益深入[1-2]。miR-21作為一種癌基因,參與腫瘤細(xì)胞的增殖、轉(zhuǎn)化和轉(zhuǎn)移等多種生物學(xué)行為。其中,miR-21可通過PI3K/Akt/mTOR、TGF-β、PI3K/Akt/FOXO1等多條途徑直接調(diào)控PDCD4[3-4]。PDCD4也可通過調(diào)節(jié)AP-1和p21、抑制p53活性等方式抑制腫瘤細(xì)胞生長(zhǎng)。而miR-21存在轉(zhuǎn)錄因子AP-1的靶點(diǎn),活化的AP-1可通過啟動(dòng)子區(qū)結(jié)合而激活miR-21轉(zhuǎn)錄。因此,miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1形成了反饋環(huán)路[5]。目前,miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1在食管癌細(xì)胞惡性生物表型中的作用和作用機(jī)制均不明確。因此,本研究應(yīng)用CCK-8、Transwell遷移及侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)初步探討miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1反饋環(huán)路對(duì)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞增殖、侵襲和遷移的影響,為食管鱗狀細(xì)胞癌發(fā)病機(jī)制的研究和診療提供新的思路。

2 結(jié)果
2.1 miR-21促進(jìn)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力
CCK-8檢測(cè)結(jié)果顯示,轉(zhuǎn)染后2 d起,miR-21 mimic組EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖能力明顯高于空白對(duì)照組、miR-21 mimic NC組、miR-21 inhibitor NC組和miR-21 inhibitor組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖1A)。Transwell遷移實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,miR-21 mimic組穿過小室的細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)多于空白對(duì)照組和miR-21 mimic NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05);miR-21 inhibitor組穿過小室的細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)少于miR-21 inhibitor NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖1B)。Transwell侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,miR-21 mimic組穿透Matrigel膠的侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)多于空白對(duì)照組和miR-21 mimic NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05);miR-21 inhibitor組穿透Matrigel膠的侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)少于miR-21 inhibitor NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖1C)。Transwell遷移和侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)證實(shí),高表達(dá)miR-21可以促進(jìn)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力;反之,低表達(dá)miR-21抑制其惡性生物表型能力。
2.2 PDCD4抑制食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力
CCK-8檢測(cè)結(jié)果顯示,轉(zhuǎn)染后2 d起,PDCD4 siRNA組EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖能力高于空白對(duì)照組和siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖2A)。Transwell遷移實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,PDCD4 siRNA組穿過小室的細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)多于空白對(duì)照組和siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖2B)。Transwell侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,PDCD4 siRNA組穿透Matrigel膠的侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)多于空白對(duì)照組和siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖2C)。Transwell遷移和侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)表明下調(diào)PDCD4可促進(jìn)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力。
2.3 PDCD4參與miR-21調(diào)節(jié)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞增殖、遷移和侵襲的作用
轉(zhuǎn)染后2 d起,miR-21 inhibitor+siRNA NC組EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖能力低于miR-21 inhibitor+PDCD4 siRNA組和miR-21 inhibitor NC+siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖3A)。Transwell遷移實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,miR-21 inhibitor+PDCD4 siRNA組穿過小室的細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)多于miR-21 inhibitor+siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖3B)。Transwell侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,miR-21 inhibitor+PDCD4 siRNA組穿透Matrigel膠的侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)多于miR-21 inhibitor+siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖3C)。Transwell遷移和侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)證實(shí),雖然miR-21 inhibitor抑制了食管癌細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移、侵襲能力,但在下調(diào)miR-21的同時(shí)下調(diào)PDCD4,可以逆轉(zhuǎn)miR-21 inhibitor引起的食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞增殖、遷移、侵襲能力的下降,提示miR-21參與調(diào)控食管癌細(xì)胞惡性表型可能是通過調(diào)控PDCD4的表達(dá)實(shí)現(xiàn)的。
2.4 AP-1促進(jìn)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力
轉(zhuǎn)染后4 d起,c-Jun siRNA組EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖能力低于空白對(duì)照組和siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖4A)。Transwell遷移侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)顯示,c-Jun siRNA組穿過小室的細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)、穿透Matrigel膠的侵襲細(xì)胞數(shù)均少于siRNA NC組,差異有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義(P < 0.05)(圖4B~C)。結(jié)果提示,沉默c-Jun可以抑制食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的生物惡性表型。
3 討論
miR-21是一種常見的致癌基因,在包括肺癌、宮頸癌、腎癌、肝癌等多種惡性腫瘤中均呈現(xiàn)異常表達(dá)。miR-21的異常表達(dá)參與腫瘤細(xì)胞的增殖、凋亡、侵襲、轉(zhuǎn)移等多種生物學(xué)行為,且與腫瘤患者的預(yù)后密切相關(guān),對(duì)判斷腫瘤的惡性程度及患者預(yù)后具有一定的臨床參考價(jià)值[6-8]。miR-21可作用于多個(gè)與凋亡相關(guān)的靶基因,如PDCD4、Sprouty1、Sprouty2、PTEN、FasL、bcl-2、TIMP3、REC等[9-11]。其中,PDCD4是一種腫瘤抑制基因,PDCD4通過多個(gè)信號(hào)通路參與調(diào)節(jié)腫瘤細(xì)胞的生物學(xué)行為[12]。
目前,關(guān)于miR-21/PDCD4與食管癌生物學(xué)行為、機(jī)制及臨床相關(guān)性研究也有一些報(bào)道。miR-21在食管癌中高表達(dá),可以負(fù)向調(diào)控PDCD4基因[13]。研究顯示,miR-21是通過與PDCD4基因3′UTR序列結(jié)合而下調(diào)蛋白翻譯[14]。張建東等[15]和Zhang等[16]研究表明,在Ⅱ期食管鱗癌術(shù)后患者中,腫瘤浸潤(rùn)深度、淋巴結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)移、病變長(zhǎng)度與癌組織中miR-21的表達(dá)呈正相關(guān)。COX回歸模型發(fā)現(xiàn),Ⅱ期食管鱗癌患者miR-21和PDCD4表達(dá)量均為影響患者PFS的因素,高表達(dá)miR-21提示預(yù)后較差,而高表達(dá)PDCD4提示預(yù)后較好。
PDCD4可通過一系列過程作用于AP-1,抑制其轉(zhuǎn)錄活性,阻斷其介導(dǎo)的信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)通路,抑制腫瘤增殖。而miR-21又存在著AP-1的直接靶點(diǎn),是AP-1的靶目標(biāo),調(diào)節(jié)器活化的AP-1可以上調(diào)miR-21轉(zhuǎn)錄。因此miR-21與AP-1構(gòu)成一個(gè)自我調(diào)節(jié)的環(huán)路,對(duì)腫瘤的增殖、侵襲進(jìn)一步產(chǎn)生影響。而miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1反饋環(huán)路對(duì)食管癌細(xì)胞的報(bào)道罕見。虞勇等[17]報(bào)道,在柯薩奇病毒B3感染大鼠心臟微血管內(nèi)皮細(xì)胞后,miR-21表達(dá)上調(diào),miR-21與PDCD4、轉(zhuǎn)錄因子AP-1之間分別具有負(fù)向調(diào)控作用。Zhu等[18]報(bào)道,miR-21可通過miR-21-PDCD4-AP-1反饋環(huán)路調(diào)控其在肝癌細(xì)胞的生物學(xué)功能。Chang等[19]研究表明,牙齦卟啉單胞菌可能通過miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1負(fù)反饋信號(hào)通路調(diào)節(jié)細(xì)胞周期蛋白D1的表達(dá)來促進(jìn)口腔鱗狀細(xì)胞癌的增殖。目前miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1反饋環(huán)路對(duì)食管癌細(xì)胞的作用,國(guó)內(nèi)外尚鮮見報(bào)道。
本研究分別應(yīng)用CCK-8、Transwell遷移和Transwell侵襲檢測(cè)miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1反饋環(huán)路對(duì)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞增殖、遷移和侵襲能力的影響。與空白對(duì)照組和NC組比較,外源性高表達(dá)miR-21可以促進(jìn)食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力;相反,下調(diào)miR-21表達(dá)則可抑制食管癌惡性表型。通過沉默PDCD4使PDCD4低表達(dá),可以促進(jìn)食管癌細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲能力。遷移實(shí)驗(yàn)中,與NC組比較,miR-21 inhibitor+siRNA細(xì)胞遷移至膜背面的細(xì)胞數(shù)明顯減少,但在下調(diào)miR-21的同時(shí)沉默PDCD4,可以逆轉(zhuǎn)miR-21 inhibitor引起的食管癌EC9706遷移的下降。同樣在侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)中,也得到類似的結(jié)果。說明通過沉默PDCD4可以逆轉(zhuǎn)外源性miR-21下調(diào)引起的食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞增殖、遷移和侵襲能力的下降,提示miR-21調(diào)控食管癌細(xì)胞惡性表型可能是通過調(diào)控PDCD4的表達(dá)來實(shí)現(xiàn)。外源性低表達(dá)c-Jun可以抑制食管癌EC9706細(xì)胞的遷移、侵襲能力。結(jié)果表明,miR-21在食管癌細(xì)胞中發(fā)揮“抑癌基因樣”作用,其可能通過miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1調(diào)控生物學(xué)作用。但其具體作用機(jī)制有待進(jìn)一步研究。有研究表明,miR-21對(duì)PDCD4有直接調(diào)控作用,PDCD4通過干擾c-Jun和c-Fos的反式激活可以抑制AP-1的活性[20]。而PDCD4對(duì)c-Jun的抑制是通過抑制MAP4K1經(jīng)MAP2K1→TAK1→MKK4→JNK信號(hào)通路激活JNK,發(fā)揮作用。miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1調(diào)控食管癌細(xì)胞增殖、遷移和侵襲的機(jī)制需進(jìn)一步探索。
綜上所述,在食管癌中,miR-21、PDCD4與AP-1呈負(fù)相關(guān),miR-21可能通過miR-21/PDCD4/AP-1反饋環(huán)路調(diào)控食管癌細(xì)胞的增殖、遷移和侵襲。本研究為進(jìn)一步了解食管癌發(fā)生、發(fā)展的分子機(jī)制和為阻止食管癌生長(zhǎng)、侵襲和轉(zhuǎn)移提供新的治療靶點(diǎn)奠定了一定的基礎(chǔ)。
